More and more clues and hints are flowing in signaling towards an eminent existence and launch of HTC One W8 Windows Phone 8.1 powered smartphone and the latest one comes from a Dutch phone company Telfort’s home page.
The page, which has now been taken offline [snapshot below], showed a bunch of handsets and partially obscured by other handsets was the HTC One W8 Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone. This particular leak enforces our belief that HTC is going to bake Windows Phone 8.1 onto its HTC M8 hardware – a handset which has been praised for its specifications.

HTC W8 is said to be launching this month; August 21 to be precise – atleast that’s what the rumours indicate – and it will be launching in the US as a Verizon exclusive. HTC is hosting an event on August 19 in New York city and we expect the company to launch the handset there.
The Telfort leak does reveal that the smartphone is going to make it to Europe sometime, but we are not sure when. The handset will definitely see a European launch and we base our claims on the basis that the HTC One W8 was seen at the GSM Global Certification Forum with European LTE Bands 7 and 13.
