Trust. It's a valuable commodity. But serial twitter-sleuth [_evleaks_](http://www.engadget.com/tag/evleaks/) has done enough to earn ours for this latest leak. A Windows Phone 8 device -- apparently known internally as the Tiara -- which will be one of the first to run the next revision of the mobile operating system (GDR2). With a reported 4.3-inch display, a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera and 1GB of RAM, it bears more than a resemblance to [another recent addition](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/06/htc-one-sv-review/) to the HTC fold. If you had hopes that it might also borrow from the firm's [latest Android flagship](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-one-unveiled/) design, then sorry to dash them, as the sources suggest otherwise. The Tiara moniker is unlikely to remain, with _evleaks_ taking a stab at it coming to market mid-May, possibly as the HTC 8W. Not a bad guess. Now it's just a matter of waiting to see if all that trust is truly well placed.
