It seems mini (http://engadgetmobile.com/tag/x10 mini) versions of larger and pricier sets that still deliver the goods have become de rigeur amongst hardware manufacturers at MWC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MWC/) in 2010. Enter HTC's HD mini, a scaled down version of the beefy HTC HD2 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/HD2/) with a 3.2-inch HVGA display for customers who want all the joys that device delivers without the need to actually use the beast itself -- or find somewhere to store it. The housing design is typical HTC beautiful, but in a very unique departure, the fasteners used to hold the device together are exposed and become part of its style. In a similar vein, popping open the back of the phone reveals that the internal mount for the hardware is bright yellow -- not that you'll ever see it, but let's be honest, just knowing it's there is kinda fun. Running WinMo 6.5.3 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/WinMo653/) and Sense (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Sense/), the mini is headed for a European and Asian release in April with 7.2Mbps 900 / 2100 HSPA. No carrier deals or specs were mentioned -- but with Mobile World Congress running all week, we may just hear something soon.
