AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega, HTC CEO Peter Chou, and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer together launched the first Windows Phone handset with LTE support, the HTC Titan II, at AT&T's developer summit today. Like the first HTC Titan, the Titan II sports a 4.7" screen, 1.5 GHz processor, and front-facing camera. Improving on its predecessor, the phone supports LTE and HSPA+, and replaces the Titan's 8 megapixel camera with a new 16 megapixel device.

The new phone will be released exclusively on AT&T in the US in the coming months.

Microsoft has published a new Windows Phone update, build 8107, to resolve a problem where the soft keyboard sometimes disappears, leaving users no way to type anything on the phone. The bug can affect any handset on any carrier, so it should be rolled out to everyone as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, Microsoft isn't willing to say who will actually receive the update, or when.

Now here's something you don't see every day: a leaked road map for Windows Phone's evolution through the end of 2012.

That purported road map comes courtesy of WMPoweruser, which included a screen cap of it in a Dec. 27 posting. The blog also declined to mention its source for the information, which (at least in broad strokes) jibes with past data from other places.
