The last Windows Phone Mini device was the HTC HD Mini running WM 6.5
As usually Robert Varga’s WP Bench app is a rich source of new device rumours. The latest to pop up is the HTC 7 Mini, with a version number of T86861. The T8686 is the HTC 7 Trophy, so presumably this new handset will be a similar mid-range device.
More interesting however is the OS the handset runs. So far all the Windows Phone Mango and Tango versions we have seen were running Windows Phone OS 7.10.xxxx . This would be the first sign of a completely new OS build, beyond Tango, and may represent the first evidence of Apollo running on a handset.

Thanks Andrew for the tip.
Update: It appears the “new device” is data faked by Leon Zandman. Â Leon, you are banned.
