Hey all, I just ordered my HD2 from T-Mobile, and I found this promo code that onle works once. If you want the online pricing for online T-Mobile orders, or orders over the phone use this code:
HD2FORU
I can confirm it works.
Enjoy! Please post a success or failure post when you use it, if it doesn't work online try it over the phone!
Also, use this code fast, I have no idea if it expires soon. I saw it on a forum, a guy said he got this in the mail.
Man waiting for this phone is going to kill me lol.
Ha welcome to the HD2. I remember waiting for my two HD2 and usually UPS comes before 1 at my house and he didn't come til 4, Just think of how horrible those three hours were
Good find on the promo code btw. I got both of my HD2 for 200 all together.
So you used it for 2 purchases? That's great!
I am not sure when the UPS guy delivers at my aunts house. So I will have to wait twice as long, AHHHH lol.
I got 2 HD2 for free from a corperate kiosk in the mall

nope they had buy one get one free. so they charged 100 per HD2. When you get it you need to put a custom rom on it. without the custom rom you'll be miserable. I am using the Energy Rom which works perfect.

Oh of course, I've been in the WM game for a loooongg time. That was the reason I joined XDA . I went to android (G1 then broke a few months later), and now I've been waiting to get a new phone since.

Yeah I've owned the G1 three times.
I've owned my share phones so I am pretty good at software on most phones.
Blackberry's Owned: 8100(pearl), 8320(curve) 8900(CurveII) 9530 (Storm1) 9700 (Bold II) 8520 ( Curve)
HTC: G1, Mytouch, Touch pro2, Fuze, HD2, Tilt 2
Apple: iPhone 2G , iPhone 3G

Ha so as you can I have had my fair share of phones and I can honestly say I'm loving the HD2 but I believe I will be trying out the iPhone 4 because of the new features
My phone history started with dumb phones(Naturally because I was 8 years old when I got my first phone. . .), then my first smart phone was the Samsung SGH-i607(Blackjack on at&t), then from there I've had my share of phones.

ha i owned the blackjack also but we do no metion Nokias or samsungs they suck as smart phones lol
yeah i had all those bar and flip phones when they were popular also. Although the Nokia E62 was my first smart phone and I actually was one of my favorite smart phones.
Basically before 2007, I owned feature phones.
If I could bring the thread back to the original subject, I placed my order for my HD2 last night and tried using the code. No luck, just kicked back an error saying it was invalid. So,

I've been using my Focus for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. WP7 obviously needs more features and settings, but MS will be cranking those out soon.
A friend of mine really liked the phone and bought the LG Quantum WP7 and she is very happy with it. When she upgraded her phone, everyone at work was telling her to get an iPhone. Talk about peer pressure! I was surprised that she said no way and wanted a WP7 phone instead after seeing mine.
I've even got some compliments from iPhone users, mainly on how quick and smooth the OS feels.
Time will tell but WP7 is definitely here to stay.

Same happened to me, even Iphone 3GS users felt very tempted to switch to WP7... I have a Focus.
I traded for my Focus (iP4). I have a friend that says they are going to WP7 when their upgrade comes around.
My boyfriend got a Focus after I got mine. He said because, "You look like you really are in love with that phone" (with an eye roll)
But I don't know how much it counts because I let him use my get-one-free from AT&T, so he didn't pay anything for it.
I was following WP7 for 4 months before it came out. I got the Focus the first day and the O/S has exceeded my expectations. Second day I had one sold to my lady friend after she saw mine. A friend of my friend saw hers and bought one the 3rd day. My wife has never had a smart phone and use to be intimated but now in 1 month will buy a Focus after using mine. I believe we are some of the best salesman and women and showing others the smooth O/S sells units. If Microsoft was smart they would give owners incentives to show the phone and compensate people in some manner. I exactly felt the sales initially would be slow but the more peeps that get them in their hands the more friends that will be exposed and that will drive a faster and sustained market share
Also, I have found that turning on Birdy Bounce and passing the phone around does wonders. My whole family went retarded over it this weekend. Dad had problems accidentally activating the capacitive Bing button, though.
We are passing them around to Android and iPhone users at work for test runs. After they use the phone for the day, we're having trouble getting them back. We've been using the Focus and the HTC Surround in that testing. The Focus is far and away the Favorite. If Verizon comes out with the HTC Trophy like they are targeting in January, we may start rolling WP7 out to users who want it on Verizon. I can't roll out the Focus until we get a few SD cards that are certified to work. 8GB isn't enough for folks who have music. 16GB in the Trophy should be enough to start. it would be great if Samsung came out with a CDMA focus with at least 16GB on the phone or a certified SD card preinstalled.
On the SD card thing, I have used Sandisk 16gb Class 2 and 4 and they both work somewhat. After two weeks or so i started having some minor issues. Nothing like the 32GB gave me but I would see perhaps one or two soft resets a day. . that is why I can't recommend the Focus yet for my users. Focus ran great with only the base 8gb in the unit. No resets at all. But I need the extra space for my music library.

So after a day at work (8-4:30) I drove my friends (carpooling) to Severance Hall in Cleveland, OH. We set out at 5pm and arrived at the Hall at 9pm due to the snow.
At the end of the concert (10pm), we drove home and arrived home at 1am in the morning - it made for a very long day and a very long drive that normally takes about 40 minutes.
The crux of the story is this, in the carpool, four of us have an iPhone 4 and I have the Focus. Everyone's iPhone died on the way to the concert (no battery). Therefore, since the journey home was taking so long, everybody in the carpool borrowed my phone to call home and talk to their families. Everyone was extremely impressed at the responsiveness of the Focus and Windows Phone 7 - they absolutely loved it. They commented on the fluidity of the OS, the ease of use (I didn't tell anyone how to use the Phone - they figured it out themselves).
They asked hundreds of questions, used the internet, etc. etc. They were thoroughly impressed with the Phone.
The one thing that everyone agreed on and kept commenting on was ease of use - and I have to agree, it's a very easy to use OS.
Well done Microsoft.

ps. My phone died at 1:10am, it was a day of light to medium use (I know that's highly subjective....)
Two friends were due for upgrade along with me (I was due for 4 months but waiting for WP7) and after using my Focus they instantly got one each (surrounds - it was free!).
Both were upgrading from dumbPhones.
all my friends are poor and have no phone upgrades
but they all like the samsung focus
my phone is constantly being borrowed when im somewhere
My wife switch from iphone, and is very happy so far. Her iPhone is not going back to her purse any more.
She enjoy the integration of the social network, the keyboard, the great image and colors of the Samsung Focus
My in-laws liked my focus so much, they bought a pair of of the LG's, cause they wanted keyboards. Btw, they are big mac fans.

Are you not afraid your wife will either read this post or ask your friend who your (boom chicka bow wow) "Lady Friend" is and you will be in big trouble?
Yes, I keep catching my wife looking over my shoulder. She's on the iPhone 4. I have to admit, the iPhone 4 is a VERY nice phone (after Jailbreaking), but I didn't want to fall into the Apple Trap . I've handed the Focus to her to use, and she's quite impressed also. It's smooth and easy to run. Screen is very impressive.
My girl is now tyring to Bogart my focus. She wants me to use her iPhone 3GS. Now I just traded my iP4 to get the Focus last week. No way is she getting my Focus. Gonna find her a deal online somewhere, so we'll have one more people on the WP7 team!
IMHO anyone who uses WP7 for atleast 10 mins will love it. I just showed it to one of my friends who was lecturing me for not buying an iP4 instead and even he loved it.
I think word of mouth is really the best way to promote WP7. So plz guys/gals show your WP7 device to as many people possible.
Whole family.
My mother bought one on my recommendation (Android to comples for her, iPhone too fragile for her). Loves the integrated voice command.
Father saw it at Thanksgiving and wondered why she got it. Later in the day he was wondering what the Knicks score was, brother stepped up to my mother's phone and said, "Knicks score" and up it came. Bowled my father away, and he bought one.
Brother and sister-in-law loved it too. They are getting one. My son, well, he is a Sprint fan and is waiting for them to carry it. As for me, couldn't wait. Got the Focus - love it.
Since then, showed a friend, and he and his wife got the LG - he loves the keyboard. She's a Mac person, but seems to be warming up to it.
Of all the smartphones i have had starting with the Treo 750, The HTC Apache, The HTC Touch Diamond, The HTC HD2, and now The HTC Inspire 4G, i never thought i would ever own a smartphone, sitting in high school staring at the hot girl in school texting in class with her beast of a phone back then, The Palm Treo 750...liked it so much i went out and saved over the summer and bought my first smartphone. I loved that thing it was so cool i could surf the web and check my myspace and email, i didn't think anything could be better...then comes the Apache with the new windows mobile and a slide out keyboard loved that phone, sit in class and download the remote app and screw with the teachers tv (that was fun) and yet still did not believe that a phone could get better, then changed carriers and Alltel at the time would not take my Apache and activate it ( later found out that i just didn't talk to the right agent) so i decided i would buy the HTC Touch Diamond and man before i bought this i did the research i went online and looked at the phone every night and decided to get it, with windows mobile 6.1 and the steel frame, the touch screen with Touch-Flo 3D, still could feel like it could get any better and then came my longest lasting phone i have EVER had The HTC HD2, now this phone i had to be talked into, there were android phones coming out and i was kinda excited about them and was going to hold off for awhile, but my neighbor was all telling me about it and i just couldn't do it, for one it was to big and by this time i was tired of the OLD windows OS and couldn't do it again...so i passed on the phone, and waited....well one night i was online and looking at phones and checking XDA, i seen a deal on T-Mobile for the HD2 for free, now the phone had my attention and decided to buy it because i was reading about the hacks to get Android on the device...and no sooner did i get the phone in the mail and unlocked it and put android on it i was sold this phone was god, (i bought this a month after it was released)...this phone i had since 02/10--04-2011 was my favorite phone to date, every night there would be a update from a developer and every night my phone would get that much better and before its' demise it was running just as good as ANY original (android phone if not better)...i got addicted to flashing and reflashing...then one drunk Saturday night i left the phone on the railing of the third floor of apartment balcony above the parking lot, and i dropped it....went down to get it and the phone was on AND THE SCREEN WAS NOT CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, went to push the botom buttons and they didnt work....took it apart and the button ribbon was broke...so i decided after that i would get a new phone and go with AT&T since T-Mobile most likely will come to be one with the force here soon and i bought the Inspire 4G for $99, and have had that phone for a week and am running gingersense on it and.............Thinking what could get better then this.....
so the whole point on this loooong story is you love your phones when you have them and when you think something can't get any better it does and the cycle continues, so don't hate your old phones they were just a step on the ladder to get to the top....BTW didn't realize this but all the devices i mentioned are all made by none other then HTC, including the Palm Treo 750, imagine that?????
good story. i do too have the htc inspire but the unlock version the htc desire hd. its a nice device with alot of cuztomize widget. cant wait to get the htc evo 3d this summer.
but i wish...my HD2 can control tv's and dvd players

Redeye is a popular app & hardware dongle for Apple products, but they've also said in their FAQ that they are trying for Android version sometime this year. http://thinkflood.com/support/redeye/faqs/ (near bottom)
There's a few other brands for Apple, but none have mentioned android versions.
So my birthday is coming up, and I was wondering if should stick with getting the HD2 off of amazon, I had my eyes set for a Nokia N900 for a long time, but since they are ditching Maemo there is no point in buying one.... and the N9 is going to be wayy to expensive for me.
So any suggestions? I'm pretty much a n00b to the smartphone world, but basically I want a phone that is versatile like the N900 or HD2, but nothing proprietary please.

Too late and not worth the money spent anymore. I personally would pay no more than $199 for this device new, and $100 ~ 130 for it used. This is my perspective.

Actually I own a N900 and HD2. I bought my N900 about 2 yrs ago. It's a great phone and hardware at that time. But now can't compete with newer processors. But still I love my N900 and it has better cellular signal reception than HD2. Comes with front camera and it works great with Skype over 3G or WiFi. But only problem is Nokia abandoned that great device. (but Nokia gave me a great customer service and replaced my phone to new one after warranty period)
Because of lack of support and apps I decided to get a Android phone and week and half ago I bought my HTC HD2. Tested it for couple of days and flashed Android. I'm happy with it.

Didn't read everything through....
DO NOT EVEN think about Nokia N900 If anything goes wrong with the phone.... yer on your own. Nokia has the worst customer support I know.
Example: My son owns N900... USB/Charging port went bad, got un-soldered...
What do you know..... Called and emailed whoever I could, to get the motherboard....I'm paying customer, I do not ask for freebies,,,,,, What happened... NOTHING!!! No one even moved the finger to help.... Ended up with buying external charger and couple of batteries....And that's the company trying to lead the world in cellphone technology.... NEVER EVER NOKIA in my house!!!!!
I saw this last post and it made me happy. At least Nokia USA treated me nicely. My phone was almost 2 years old and few weeks ago noticed cellular signal drop when I press the phone or if phone is in my pocket. I contacted Nokia customer service even my phone is out of warranty (it came with one year warranty). Had to communicate couple of times back and forth with customer service and then they asked me to send a phone for repair. I told then I'm not spending any more money on that phone. Then they said, they will make a exception and repair it as under warranty. They even provided free shipping labels to send it. Within 5 days after they received it got a email saying they are replacing my phone and it's on the way. I couldn't wait to see how the replacement is. Finally I got it and... OMG it was a brand new phone and only thing wasn't there was a battery which I didn't send them.
Now I have brand new N900 and HTC HD2
I would buy another Nokia phone only if they come up with well know OS such as Android. I don't trust any software they start.

Now that is not true. The HD2 distorts far too easily where as the SGS doesn't, plus with the new custom kernels with Voodoo sound. It can easily out do the HD2 for audio quality, call quality is in the HD2 favour however...

you got a bad phone. It is too late to claim warranty.
I have two hd2 s , voice quality is much better than my three Samsung vs, infuse and tab 7
I don't think it's too late. Although myself have moved onto the sensation, with its dust in the screen's issue...
I just sold a sealed and unopened hd2 on ebay for $350, although after ebay, paypal, and shipping charges I'm only making $300. Not bad for a year and half old phone.
Thinking back though, it's only been a little more than a year since hd2 was released on tmous. It feels much longer though...due to the fast refresh of phones now days. In the late 90s, people stick with their phones forever really..

i found some highly sensitive sms on my T.M HTC HD2 when i bought mine from previous owner
This should be posted in the Marketplace section found here.
On a side note I bought a new phone as well about a month or two ago, the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide.
This phone for me has great specs. Dual-core, slide out keyboard and what a lot of people say is the
best camera ever put on a cell phone (same as Amaze 4G if i'm not mistaken). Well anyway I've used
my new phone a total of 3-4 times in the past several weeks. I just can't for the life of me let my HD2 go.

I hear you In fact, I am after a motherboard to assemble second HD2 I have in bits waiting to be fired up. I play with lots of various latest models and as much as I liked Galaxy SII, especially in terms of camera and general speed, I will not be parting with my HD2 any time soon. I feel tempted by One X though...
I'll admit the specs on the HTC One look pretty great and would love the phone myself as well. I would need to see how big the screen is though. I came from the two smaller phones to the HD2 and it took some getting use to in my pocket. Infact for the first few days it felt more like a small book in my pocket then a phone. Since the HTC One is close to a half inch larger i would need to play around with it before buying.
I don't know what's next for me. anything with hardware capable of lasting as long as the hd2
HTC one X - this will be another popular thread in XDA & HD2 will be heading to the Legacy department
...but i wil still keep my HD2 untill the day it dies
Keep as a back up. Hd2 is a legend
