We've seen it leaked before and this time this one's coming from TMo News again. The smartphone above is the Schubert aka the HTC HD7 which could be headed to T-Mobile USA. This smartphone should feature specs that we already know: a 4.3-inch display, a 5MP camera, 576MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and Windows Phone 7. What's unknown right now is if this will have HSPA+ connectivity, which would be great. Things should get cleared up very soon though. We'll be seeing this one tomorrow at the New York Microsoft Event, which is Thanksgiving here in Canada. The release date is unknown right now but it should be available for $199.99 on a 2-year contract like all high-end smartphones are.

Update: According to The Unwired, this smartphone has just got approved by the GCF so this pretty much confirms that it'll be at the event tomorrow!

The HTC Desire Z is going to be hitting Bell in Canada but we already know that. The latest internal screenshot coming from the carrier shows that they intend to release this for $499.99 (likely $499.95 when it actually launches) contract-free. This means that it could launch for $149.95 on a 3-year contract just like when the carrier released the Galaxy S Vibrant in August. The launch date is still unknown but Mobile Syrup is hearing that it could be as early as November 4th. Maybe I'll sell my Captivate for a Desire Z when it comes out, we'll see.
