HTC plan event for Windows Phone announcement

HTC has sent out invites for a event on September 19th in New York City. As everyone is saying, HTC is highly likely to unveil WP8 handsets following Samsung's announcement of the Activ S phone at IFA in Berlin. If this is a WP8 event, could we finally see the Zenith, Accord and Rio? We'll find out pretty soon.

HTC Accord with WP8 leaks..

HTC has been very quiet about Windows Phone 8, not even announcing any WP8 handsets at IFA which Samsung did. However by the looks of this leak, HTC has one in the works. Great thing about this leak? It is most likely accurate information.

Specs have been said to include a 4.3-inch SuperLCD2 display with 720p resolution (720x1280), Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, MicroSD and NFC capabilities.

So far all of the WP8 handsets leaked/announced take advantage of the new spec compatibility.So we should see WP8 being adopted by more people, I for one was put off by the lack of good specs.
