The guys over at phoneArena.com got their hands on quite a few pics of an unannounced HTC device running Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC Sense 4.0. There’s no indication of a name for this device but the photos reveal quite a lot of other information. This mystery device appears to be a Verizon 4G LTE device as their logo can clearly be seen on the boot up screen. Other than that, specs of this device include:

HTC has announced on their Facebook page that thier initial upgrade process of bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to HTC devices will begin towards the end of March.

It’s definitely not my cup of tea, but if you’re liking what the Ville is showing, you may also be interested in what specs it’s featuring.
