sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community
Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.
It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)
Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting
Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

to keep the hd2. i have not had the hd2 for like 2 months, has alot changed? roms? windows mobile?
whats the news on getting windows mo 7 or an android port to the HD2?
also...is there any way to make Sense like my androind sense regarding widgets, twitter etc...
thanks...i have so missed my hd2 screen size....
Whether WP7 or Android will come to HD2 is still unknown. Sure, everyone will say it's only a matter of time, but I'll be straight with you and tell you it's as good as a 50/50 chance.
Having said that, it's a phone. Keep it or sell it. It's your call.
get the hd2. in a review online by a dignified tech website hd2 spanks the nexus one
Shall I pick your clothes out for tomorrow as well?

Did you install cookies home tab and editor? If not, you should try that. makes as many quick links as you want. Very Android/Iphonish. Works awesome... Also the new ROM with the Zim touch sensitivity fix makes it pretty rad.
If you want a real man's phone get the HD2...lolol
All joke's aside, it's really a matter of personal opinion: the HD2 uses WinMo, and with the latest ROM versions out there things run pretty smooth.
But if you want Android, then keep the Nexus. In the end, the basic features are the same, it's all about what feels right for you. (God I sound like a hippie...jk lol.)

yeah, i wiped and installed the elagence rom. i love it..i am just trying to find a way to use my google voice account to get my free texting..wish there was a GV app for this

Very true...i have had lock ups also...
I am going to try the latest energy rom now. any tweaks that you would recommend i must do right after?
also..how can i get the original white flip clock with weather on that rom???
From my Personal Experience, i had a nexus one Which i sold and later bought the HD2, i have applied almost every rom available and text messaging lags a lot, also Stock rom is too slow and other roms are smooth and fast but out of the nowhere freeze and give me major problems.
it has better hardware than the nexus but to tel you the thruth, the nexus one with stock everything is so much faster than the HD2, all i can say is try it for yourself, im however swicthing back to the nexus or mytouch slide, because even my g1 was a lot faster than this phone with much less hardware, and i am not joking neither do i mean to say windows mobile sucks, but it is just for me.
if i get flamed, too bad!

get the Nexus. I traded my HD2 for one and love it.
Android is so much faster and is so much easier to use than WinMo.
That being said, if you need it for business, go with the HD2.
I had a Nexus 1 for 2 months then sold it and bought my HD2, I love them both, the Nexus 1 is more like an iPhone as far as user friendly. Win Mobile is harder to set up and change but much more powerful. I've contemplated getting another Nexus 1 but the HD2 hardware is so damn sweet, I think I'm staying with the HD2 now and waiting for the HD3 or something else.
Here is the link that i use

here is the another video of hd2 run wp7 ，in this one we have a compare wp7 phone
Hope that really works well and smoothly on HD2 device!!!
I can clearly see that non of Microsoft Services is working . Like Zune or LIVE games . Because of the unique product id maybe ? Let's hope n wait for the time to reveal everything
Looking forward for the public release !!
Hmmmmz,
I think we have to be patient and our HD2 will be a very attractive device.
Its my next os and i want it now!!!!!!

After seeing the video I'm not convinced, still hasn't changed my opinion that WP7 looks pants and isn't that exciting at all. Won't be in a rush to have this on my phone as doesn't have anything on Android that I'm running now.

Hmmm you may be right at this point in time but it's very early days so perhaps it's best to wait and see .
I'm more than happy with WM 6.5.X at the moment after having Android for nearly a year came back to WM mainly due to HD2 but also for the OS . Old or not there's not as much wrong with it as the "expert press" were trying to make me believe but then most of them love IOs which says all I need to know .
wp7

Hi guys,what's up?
Since seeing what an amazing phone the DHD is and how powerful,I thought that maybe there would be a way of porting one of my all-time favorite games,NFS Most Wanted.The idea came to me after seeing a Quake port running on Desire and Galaxy S and thought,what the hell?Can something like this happen with Most Wanted?
First off,is it possible to do that?If yes,how?
Secondly,are there people who are interested and would like to participate?
Thanks!

entirely not possible, only reason you see quake doom ect.. is because alot of them go open source so we have access to the engine files to actually modify and port.
also quake doom ect dont rely on a DX only renderer which is all the nfs black box engine supports android requires openGL, personally id like to see the original halflife ported before anything like NFS

there is a paid PSX emulator on the market called PSX4droid
can run a little slow depending on the game tho however i managed to play FFVII on my HTC legend quite fine tho
very similar on specs but can anyone that has actually owned or used both give a proper comparison? got a dhd atm but is it worth swapping for multiple os the hd2 can run.

Depends on what ur looking for... if u want to be able to use WM7 and android this is the only device that can run both atm.
The HD is a very good device and runs both OS's very smooth.
If i were u i would stick to your Desire HD as the specs are better and the device will be more supported in the future as the HD2 is getting older now and wont receive any (official) updates anymore.
WM7 cannot even do multitasking untill end of this year... and by then google will release android ice cream sandwich anyway.
I personally would stick to android, WM7 is just not worth it (yet).
ok. thanks very much for your reply.
i was locking more at running ubuntu. the devs on the dhd have done a brilliant job. but its not functional enough for proper use.
have you run ubuntu on your hd2? if so how does it perform for useability? ie. smS, calls and 3g data
thanks

Sorry, i did not use the Ubuntu build on my hd2 but im interested in experimenting with it too.
I think i just will get a 2nd HD2 as they r very cheap on the 2nd hand market just to fiddle around with ubuntu, meego etc...
Other people can correct me if im wrong but i dont think it would be interesting for daily use (yet) (from the smartphone point of view)

i think this is unfair since the desire is latest than hd2 but i think if they were made at same period it would be a split since desire is android and hd2 is windows anyways they have the same screen and speed

Doesnt matter how its called, everyone knows what im talking about + i did mean updates from rom cookers OR official updates, thats why i pu it between ().
Besides if HTC doesnt release official updates the community wont have updated kernels to work with.
The point of my post was : why sell the HD if you can have both
