Can't get myself to use an old Windows 6.X device. But Windows 7 will DEFINITELY be ported to it by the devs at XDA and that Android you wanted on it? Well, since the Touch Pro2 just got Android, I wouldn't be surprised if the HD2 gets it right after launch lol Remixfa000,

Even in dummy form the phone is damn sexy and big and THIN. I was highly impressed. I swear its thinner than even a mytouch so its quite pocket friendly. As nice as it is, and as damn feature packed that it is (blockbuster, ereader,ect ect ect) i cant buy a win 6.xx phone. they SUCK. When they get a 100% port of win7 or android 2.1 on it, id think about it.. LOL its a shame. we got the dummies in the store. Even in dummy form the phone is damn sexy and big and THIN.

WP7 UI looks way to simple and plain. HTC Sense is way better than WP7 UI and the devs will backport things like XBL and things like that to HD2 ROM and someone will make a WP7 ROM. Does it matter?

The other option is to follow my method of buying phones lol: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/31/how-to-fuel-your-phone-addiction-without-breaking-the-bank/ Kevin,

That doesn't mean a thing about the device's legit upgradability, just that technically the HD2 is capable of supporting WP7.

Just remap the Start button as the Search button and Viola! So that wouldn't be a big issue, besides all the normal issues with porting a ROM. Kevin,
