HTC HD2 launches on T-Mobile USA as Sprint EVO points, laughs

What a rough ride it's been for the US launch of the HD2. Now available on T-Mobile several months after making its European debut, it arrives less than 24 hours after the 4G Sprint EVO was announced for a summer release, and a week after we received confirmation that it won't be upgradeable to Windows Phone 7 OS when devices start landing later in the year. So $199.99 plus a 2 year commitment for this Windows Mobile 6.5 device is just crazy talk. Our advice: wait a few months and snap up the glorious hardware for pennies and then install your favorite cooked ROM.

The HD2 selling out almost all of it's stock the first day makes this article a laugh.

@routb3d

Where did you find an EVO to play with?

It is funny to me how a phone can go from being the latest and greatest to the laughing stock in a matter of 24 hours. It seems especially strange when it's for a product that requires us to commit to it for several years in most cases!
