HTC's J ISW13HT WiMAX smartphone slips out for KDDI, quickly takes cover

![HTC unveils WiMAX smartphone for KDDI, quickly pulls announcement][1]

Ooh, what do we have here? Japanese site _Sumahon!!_ (which means "smartphone" in good, old Nihon) reports that [HTC][2] posted details about a new [WiMAX][3]-capable phone for KDDI to join the carrier's WiMAX [Samsung Galaxy S II][4] -- the HTC J ISW13HT. The company apparently jumped the gun, though, as the page has since been unceremoniously pulled -- but not before the aforementioned site grabbed some screenshots. According to the tale of the tape, er, phone, from the site, the ISW13HT rocks [Android 4.0][5] with a coating of [Sense 4.0][6], a Snapdragon S4 chip, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage plus a microSD slot. One screen grab also states that the phone has a 4.3-inch qHD display. Sizewise, the handset is 66mm wide, 132mm tall and 10mm thick. Weight is listed at about 142 grams. A visit to the official ISW13HT page reveals a "page not found error" but that likely won't be the case for long -- that "Spring 2012" grab probably wasn't created for kicks.
