By now it’s no secret that HTC’s Verizon-bound Rezound will debut shortly, but the stars seem to have aligned recently, because we’re absolutely swimming in Rezound-related news. Most notably, a video demoing the Rezound in action has begun to make the rounds, and it gives us our best glimpse yet at Verizon’s next holiday heavyweight.

The video doesn’t probe very far, but it does confirm that the Rezound packs a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 4.3-inch display running at 720p. It comes with 16GB of internal storage out of the box, but since it’s a Sense 3.0 device, it can also take advantage of Dropbox’s 5GB of cloud storage.

We’re also afforded a quick look under the battery cover, and I’m happy to report that HTC’s trend of making their device’s innards look as good as the outside continues.

Verizon seems to be just as excited for the Rezound as HTC fans are, as the company has begun to push out signage that features the much-anticipated device front and center. It probably wasn’t supposed to go up yet, but that didn’t stop some over-eager employees by putting it up for all to see. The sign also trots out the Rezound’s Beats-friendly earbuds, not to mention some love for the middle Jonas brother.

Sadly, there’s still no word on a release date — Droid-Life cites a tipster’s claim that the phone will launch on November 14, but there have been so many claims that it’s hard to keep track at this point. The Rezound is almost sure to take the stage this Thursday at HTC’s big New York event, but with any luck some juicy details will leak ahead of the show.
