Update: We've also just learned that HTC is going to officially launch the HD2 on November 4 ahead of a November 11 release elsewhere. We're not entirely sure what there is left to learn about the thing, but we're always game for another press event.
Update 2: Just to clarify things, this is T-Mobile UK. Also, as many have pointed out in comments, we're now thinking the "09" above means 2009, not November 9, which likely points to a November 11 release. Surely you can swallow that DROID envy for another two days, yeah?
This is the nicest phone I've seen yet from HTC. I'd probably prefer it over the iphone. It is a shame I'm on Sprint since Sprint doesn't even have it on their roadmap.
If it gets CDMA I think Sprint will have it; this is the kind of mojo they need, along with a little Android, to maintain their momentum. (Fingers crossed...)
I should clarify, not Android on the HD2, but Android devices. Personally I’m in the WinMo camp.
While Sprint NEEDS something like the HD2 as their pixi crap doesn't do much for most, they currently haven't even approached HTC about a CDMA version, if you look at buzz about wireless, several of us including myself verified with HTC about a cdma version - not even in the works as Sprint hasn't asked for it yet. Owens, a VP of marketting for Sprint wasn't thrilled about all the requests about the HD2 so he just kept replying to all questions about the moment which didn't exactly meet our demands for a good phone. It isn't just about the OS, I might consider Droid 2.0 but the hardware is just as important and no droid out there has all of the hardware features of the HD2.
Lots of FAIL in T-mo's website if that's what they're reporting for specs
Either that or everyone's been lied to for quite a while
And I bet this is Euro release only for now
Does T-Mobile mean they are selling the HTC Touch 2 now, but in the other box below they are saying that the Touch HD2 is coming soon?
Engadget should prob make it more clear that this isn't for TMo USA.
Hmmm.. what's the source on this? The screen size for the HD2 is 4.3" and definitely no Android integration.
Actually, that looks like the Imagio in the picture.. still the wrong screen size though.
I think they have the touch2 not the HD2, as we're being led to believe.
this was a good post by T-mo's part. They literally got everything wrong
Maybe change the title of the post to indicate this is for the UK so as to not get the primarily US audience here all worked up?
Engadget needs to get in gear and delineate when they mean T-Mobile.....if they mean TMo UK, TMo DE, or TMo USA........what a rip...and here I thought TMo USA was FINALLY going to get a handset worthwhile to leapfrog over all the chaff handsets ( including the Cliq ) available now. Something finally worth the $$$ I have to dish out and becoming back under contract after not being under contract for 8+ years. But no......thanks for the Trick or Treat, Engadget.
>T-Mobile
:D

people make mistakes. a correction has been posted.
that said.
JOUR NA LISM
It would behoove the entire staff to take a night class.
Though that could be said of most "writers" now.
yes!!!! another reason to believe that the HD2 will come to AT&T
Ahh!! Why wont engadget read my emails! I sent them links to a price comparison website that had prices for the HD2 for both T-Mobile AND Vodafone and that it was going to be released on the 11th November. Should i email them again?
My bad, i thought this was the HD2, but still, i emailed them about what i said and they've not acted on it.
Isn't TmobileUSA cdma only? So that would mean no SIM cards?
This is the Touch HD in the picture which released last year. Not the Touch HD2. It says 3.8" screen, which is the Touch HD's size, also it runs on Windows Mobile.
I'm confused.
This is the worst article ever. Fail. Fail. Fail.
Ahahhahh, keep telling yourself that...as I upgrade my G1 to yet a newer more robust Adroid rom...I love the smell of freedom!
This is the original HTC Touch HD (HTC Blackstone) , not the HD2 (Leo) :P
Screenshot is of touch HD, specs are of Touch HD, its the 1st HD
For some reason T-Mobile seems the need to release the older model even though the new one was just released.
I mean, come on, its like releasing the touch pro when theres a touch pro 2 out :P
THIS is the phone they will be releasing as the "HD2": http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchhd/specification.html
and THIS is the REAL HD2: http://www.htc.com/www/product/hd2/specification.html
just a bit of a difference, isnt there? ;)
It's clearly both...
