HTC HD2 is the sexiest beast of a phone known to any man.
PS: It doesn't shatter when dropped, and it does make calls.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/All thanks to the BAMFs at xda. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/Almost any phone can shatter when dropped.

Why you say that ?? What was wrong with it? I used it in O2 store and looked very awesome! Actually i was on the edge to get one.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/
I still don't see why HTC thought it would be a good idea to have 6.5 on this phone.

-1, I agree that HTC should have made an Android version too but I bought mine BECAUSE it had WinMo.

I dont see why it's taking HTC so long though, stick Android on the HD2 and will sell by the bucket load.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/
Calling names about something without an logical explanation doesn't say much to me. I have searched info for both platforms and so far Android in business features is lacking behind. iPhone with latest update (iOS 4), i like it better than the Android. Ofc i don't know what features the Froyo build has, but with my current info on Android for business use and the security features isn't impress me. I like the OS but still needs more features and updates imo. Also i would like to point that usually smartphones are for business use, that was their initial purpose when they came out, not to play games and capture/edit video/photos.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/Jul 3rd 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/

Then again, for all us HD2 owners, if an official HTC Android came out with the same hardware, it might mean stable builds for download faster.

BTW, the Desire Sense build is gorgeous, but slow as hell. The stock Android is faster, but still has radio problems...]]>Jul 3rd 2010 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/There still is if you don't want to use sprint...]]>Jul 4th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/Aug 1st 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/Jul 3rd 2010 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/now i'm dreaming of hitting some c code after running some windows apps through wine

I'm running 2.1 on my TP2 right now. It works really well. Just needs BT, camera, and external speaker. Everything else is functional.

I bit the bullet and got one! Only for the fact that once WP7 is released it'll be a much easier port to the HD2 than Android AND that means:

Dual boot!]]>Jul 3rd 2010 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/Yah I was anticipating WP7 on this device too but since HTC said that it will not be getting WP7 on the HD2 I lost interest in it.

You will have to wait for the community to get things working and I love the community support and everything they do but I much prefer native support.

I'll wait for the Samsung Vibrant for android on Tmobile.

Other than the beautiful exterior the vibrant blows the HD2 out of the water. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/htc-hd2-android-and-ubunbu-builds-now-available-for-mass-consump/
"but I much prefer native support. "

"SAMSUNG"

If you're going to be buying the Vibrant, you won't be getting ANY support past Froyo from Samsung. Really, I've been flashing my phones since an old Sony Ericsson and it's the only way to go. "Official" updates can do as much damage to your phone as XDA's. The only exception is the XDA process is much more transparent.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 7:41PM
