I bought this phone to run android. Its all good and as good as a native android phone.
(MDJ revo) WP7 is nice too, but not enough apps yet.
by JasonTsay
Excited about the HD2 getting a WP7 port. I liked the hardware on the HD2 a lot but WinMo 6.5 was a suckfest.
Even better, the HD2 will be able to run Ubuntu, Android 2.2, and WP7 simultaneously.

Would it be worth it to trade my iPhone 3G for an HD2 on Craigslist? Do any of you guys know how well the Android 2.2 port works on the phone?
I love the hardware but WinMo 6.5 is a drag...

So the fine developers working on the HTC Linux project have released a working port of Android for the HD2 over at XDA Developers.
It's pretty buggy right now: calling doesn't work, the microphone/speaker doesn't work, and it's prone to crashes. There's already two flavors available -- vanilla 2.1 and 2.1 with Sense UI from the Desire. The latter is bit more prone to slowdowns and crashes but I've tried using it with SMS-only with success. Have you tried either of the ports yet? What are your thoughts?

I really like this phone but am bummed out 'cause it's not on Android platform and I bet there are not as much apps for Windows Mobile as for the…
Android market. Sucks, what can I say.
by davomrmac
Does anyone actually think that this Dell Streak has a place in the market.
I mean it is too big for the pocket (being larger than a mobile phone) and too small for a good sized tablet experience (like the iPad). Also it does not make calls (I think). Also seems to be hampered by Android 1.6, so unless hacked to upgrade it would be behind on all the 2.1 and 2.2 goodness. Thoughts anyone?
by JasonTsay
okay i know a lot of people complain about how the HD2 is too big but isn't that what people buy it for?
thus, this phone is completely useless

Any Interest in the HD2 vs the SS/EVO?
The only compelling reason to buy an HD2 was the hardware specs but the Supersonic/EVO has the same specs plus a lot more. with added HDMI, Front facing camera, 8 megapixel camera, hotspot, larger battery, etc. Is there any reason left to buy an HD2?

A couple questions about the HD2
For those that have picked it up, I'm wondering about a couple things. I'm trying to decide between this and the Nexus One, and there are a couple pieces of software on Android that I'd miss if I were to switch over from my G1. First, I know you can use Google Maps on the HD2, and that it doesn't have the free GPS navigation feature. That's not a big deal. The big deal to me is does Google Maps have the same GPS aware searching available? And related to this, what GPS...

HD2 or Nexus One
Let's be honest here guys: I know some of you are big WinMo/Android fans, and that's fine, but please don't let that skew the discussion. I'm looking to replace my old, clunky G1. I really like the HD2, but I'm worried about support from Microsoft once WP7S comes out, and also all these complaints about WinMo 6.5. Is it really that bad? The Nexus One is appealing, but it also has some problems. I would much rather have the huge HD2 screen, and I hate the Android keyboard....

Still interested?
Just curious, how many people still plan to get the HD2, despite it's inability to (officially) upgrade to WP7S?
EDGE v. 3G in US?
Two questions: If you buy the HD2 now and use it over EDGE which US networks will it operate on? Would you rather have EDGE or wait for 3G on TMobile -- you'll get 3G, but it is a smaller network? Thanks for the thoughts -- I'm struggling to make a decision.

Coming to Telstra in early 2010
I understand we will get this in Australia in early 2010. Anyone confirm this and know the date and pricing?

Officially coming to Tmobile
http://www.sticktogether.com/htchd2/ Well this puts the final nail in the coffin as it were the HD2 is coming to Tmobile US with a launch date this spring. Two snapdragon phones in the first part of the year with the possibility of another the X-10. Tmobile is definitely improving their phone lines.

Running a HD2 WinMo 6.5 TF3D 2.5 ROM on my Touch Pro2...questions?
The ROM I'm currently running on my Touch Pro2 is essentially a tweaked Leo (HD2) ROM hacked for use on the TP2. I guess in a sense that could allow me to answer UI questions about the Leo. Anyone? I've used it for a couple days...I'll post more general impressions this weekend. Though I can't accurately judge speed, being that the HD2's processor has almost double the processing power than the TP2...

The HTC HD2 is coming to the US in early 2010!
HTC issued a release tonight that it's officially launching the HD2 in the US in early 2010! Exciting stuff. We've already heard T-Mobile is getting it overseas this month, but we still don't yet know who will be getting it Stateside when it debuts next year.
WinMo Media Player?
Back when I had WinMo HTC's - a long line starting from the Blue Angel and ending with the Advantage / Tytn II when that gave up the ghost / fell apart on me too and I finally said "**** you HTC"* - I never actually used it as anything other than a messaging / portable office device. Never did any entertainment stuff on it, that being handled by the iPod. Is there, in fact, a compelling WinMo media player? Or is there a compelling one shipped with recent WinMo HTC's? If so,...
