According to pocketnow.com the first Kal-El Tegra 3 bearing HD handset is going to be the HTC Edge. Coming in Q1/Q2 2012 this device has some astonishing specs and a fairly typical, yet attractive HTC designed unibody shell. 

While pocketnow reported a 10mm thickness, BGR’s source says that the Edge is more likely to be a far more svelte 8.8mm thick (or is that thin?)
