i had the chance to fingerfuck one with an early build of WM7 and came away quite impressed with the hardware. the software aint so bad at this point, either, and that's all i'll say since i prefer to keep my job at this point.

as a current, longtime t-mobile usa customer, i was very excited to hear they're getting the jump on this device since it will use tmo's oddball 3G. definitely will be getting this on the first day. never had much luck with WM6 devices in my past, but this is one where the hardware totally overcomes WM6's many issues. to know that the tmo version has just as much RAM and 1GB of ROM is just icing on the cake, cementing the ability to upgrade to WM7 when it's released.]]>Jan 29th 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/
I have had the HD2 since last november replacing an iPhone 3GS and it can't even be compared to Apple's money machine.
But I also have a little HTC Hero and I must admit that I like Android even more mostly because of the great free apps on the Marketplace.
The sheer superiority of the hardware and the unexcusably lack of voice dialing on the Hero though make me prefer the HD2 as my primary device.
Maybe a Nexus one (when it will be available in scandinavia too) will make me drop also my beloved HD2 but at the moment it seems unlikely ]]>Jan 30th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/Jan 29th 2010 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/Jan 29th 2010 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/I mean Two Words]]>Jan 29th 2010 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/Jan 29th 2010 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/Jan 29th 2010 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/
It's sitting on top of Windows Mobile 6.5, which is basically a doomed operating system. Everyone knows that Microsoft is about to replace it with a totally new mobile platform.

So as it is, Windows Mobile 6.5, underpinning this phone, will have a very short life span before it is discontinued.

That brings us to the question, will this phone be upgradeable to Microsoft's new platform? There are rumors going both ways. Some say yes, some say no. HTC won't officially give that guarantee.

So with the HD2 you're kind of need to pin your hopes on getting an upgrade that we really don't know will happen.]]>Jan 29th 2010 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/

Either way, if HTC decide to upgrade the phone or not, WinMo 7 will come to this phone.

But the thing I hate most would actually be the capacitive screen. It's terrible for typing even short SMS messages! The keyboard/screen sometimes gets confused and while I'm clearly tapping a letter "W" for example, the keyboard suddenly starts to pop up all the letters all around the keyboard as if it didn't know which one I'm holding my finger on! This is annoying as hell. Again, it doesn't happen all the times, but when it does, I want to punch someone!

Also, the SMS being stuck in the outbox folder is another story. After all the patches and what not, from time to time (absolutely random) the SMS just won't be delivered. I won't notice and certainly the recipient won't too. This is another huge issue.

But, as I've said, once they iron out these kinks, this will still be one of the best phones out there!]]>Jan 29th 2010 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htcs-hd2-carrying-a-secret-stash-of-hidden-ram/A little bit of fishing around and you can find some unofficial driver updates that increase the responsiveness of the screen.
