to my trusty HD2. I've been using the Sensation now for a few months and while I love it, I just can't seem to say goodbye to the HD2. No matter what Android throws at me I still love WM6.5. I still find the HD2 to be a phone that is so easy to live with, so versitile, easy to customise. Hell it even boots up in half the time of the Sensation!
Anyone else who feels like this about the HD2?
The HD2 is an amazing phone, I've given away 2 upgrades to friends and am still using my HD2...albeit not on wm6.5.
I'm using Android and WP7...for this reason alone it's still, IMO, the best phone available for its versility and power.

Truth is, HD2 is like having many girlfriends who are good at everything versus having only one girlfriend who can do just one thing...
Get it?

I don't, I read it again and again, still can't .
But I agree to what your post was supposed to mean.

In the last week a lot has happened about the Android and WP7 Projects for our HD2.
Tell us which one you think will come first,
What are your hopes and expectation?
For me, right now I would prefer to run android because there is a lot more thing to see, more apps etc.
But good times come to our phones
Either way, who cares?
I do, I like my hd2 how it is now, but it'd be cool so have other options out there. I'd like to see both but don't know much about it so I'll just wait and see.
oh man...what do I do? Wait to see if a Win7/Droid ROM for the HD2 pops up or get the EVO4?

If you want android full time, get the evo. If you want WM6.5 full-time, keep HD2. It will be a long time before there are fully functional ports of either on the HD2, and they will probably never be as good as a phone that comes with the OS preinstalled.
I plan on using WM6.5 most of the time, but it will be cool to boot into android at times to play around with it. I'm not even gonna think about WinPhone7 until it's out for a while and I can see how it is and what apps there are for it.
I like Android, and I like WP7, but which one's the best?
There's only 1 way to find out.....
FIGHT!!!
Seriously though, forget ported Android. It will never be as good as an Android device. You're not gonna get a fair comparison between WP7 and Android on a HD2, (assuming that we actually do get them both). Keep your HD2 until this time next year and then watch loads of vids on youtube before buying your next phone.

Answer is easy for me: Keep the HD2.
I hate Sprint. Plus I really don't want to pay out the @$$ for their data plan. $10 web2go, thank you very much.
Android will come eventually. I'm content with WM6.5.
Dump this piece of crap and get an Evo. Tmobile blows, WM6.5 blows, sense on WM6.5 blows. I have had many phones, this by far was the biggest let down.

Unfortunatly (or luckily) most people don't have access to CDMA-networks. GSM is the standard. Plus 4G, at least in my country, is LTE and not wimax. So Evo is ruled out. That said, I'm pleased with my HD2.
Just one to say good bye to you gys you were great comunity but the hd2 lack of android killed me so i sold it and got an iphone 4 wich rocks
anyway just want to say good bye and thank the devs A LOT and wich you good luck with android on your hd2

im sure but with hd2 never ill tell you that
I don't know what bugs you are talking about, but more than likely it is the roms. Limitations, then yes, I know of. e.g only 512 rom.
Good moved.
such a shame someone else leaves and buys them self an iphone 4, yeah and your point is??????
To Troll??????
We hardly care that you went and bought an iphone 4.
The lack on Android, well firstly wrong there loads of Builds available, some have a few problems some have none at all so I cant really see your point here,
Secondly buy a Android Device if thats what you want.
The HD2 is probably the best device available, proven by the amount of work the hackers, programmers etc have put into this phone, they have slugged there guts out making things work that was never supposed to.
So have fun with your iphone locked down piece of poop.
Congratulations. You dumped a real smartphone and paid premium price for a outdated locked down app launcher. Multiple operating systems vs one boring operating system? Choice vs restriction? Bad move buddy

Lmao, there is no lack of android!
What is lacking is brain capacity = iPhone user!
There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9%. There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9% with simple tweaks/modifications.
The reason why you got your iPhone is because you dont have the mental ability or patience to learn. = iPhone user.
Congratulations on your Apple lobotomy, good riddens!
Wish I could find these "bugs" on ny phone but unfortunately my phone works perfectly, Perhaps it was something YOU did incorrectly.

tut..... my only regret is selling the hd2... i brought a htc desire z because of the keyboard and couldnt afford to keep the hd2 cus i needed the money .... but ill get one again because there just such a good phone.... people get so drawn in by the iphone... i just dont see why...
Mate I dont post much but I saw this post and I gotta say, that's the dumbest reason I've ever seen for a person getting rid of a HD2. It is probably the only phone out there which can run almost any ROM so smoothly cus of its high end hardware and also cus the amazing devs who cook really stable and smooth roms for it. This **** is legendary.
Worst decision. Have fun sucking on Steve Jobs' balls even for a thing as little as sending a file via Bluetooth
The phone was too good for you anyway. Have fun with your locked down communist piece of dookie

I dont have any bugs on my HD2 w/ Android, i had bugs on my Galaxy S with native Android....
learn how to flash and which ROM to use.
damn newbie whine like little *****es......
In this day and age of the smart phone world, are we going to ever see another phone close to what the hd2 is and can run?
i mean months ago my hd2 was running android better than how the samsung vibrant is running android now!
Wouldn't it be amazing if they made an HTC HD2s with updated specs?
i mean htc can seriously take advantage of this phone, hd2 can still stand next to any phone htc has put out after......and dammmit its been years! lol
so my next htc must be something as revolutionary and game changing as the hd2...but sadly there might never be one.
Well alot people didnt really expect the hd2 to do what it did, it just kind of happened, and the dev support behind it is unheard of.
But to answer your question, there wont be another king leo

Yes they are, i had a mytouch 4g, and traded it back for a brand new mint hd2a few days back. Dev support is pretty good in the mt4g, but everytime i saw that slab of glass i had to go back! Lol.

I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out
One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards

Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..

Completely, Awesome phone when taken out of windows 6.5 stock.
I had one replacement due to screen going unresponsive 2 years ago and current is going strong.
Hoping it continues to do so until WP8 devices are available.

why you wanna get 3 years old phone. Even though it works like a charm, there exist far better phones in the market right now and Galaxy S III is one of 'em, Galaxy Note is not bad either.

well first of all, the hd2 still rocks and what other phone can run 4 operating systems????? duh!
yeah i know no other phone can run that many OSs but should somebody wanna spend few hundred bucks on a phone why not on a new one with better specifications and i wish and hope not but what if developers stop development for this legendary device since its already 3 years old.

an hd2 doesn't cost a few hundred dollars...plus it depends on whether you want be able run multiple os like wp7 and android on the same phone. you can't install multiple os on any other phone like the hd2. if one is a tweaker, then no other phone will do.
ive also just bought it...
is in the process of being shipped !
can't wait to hack it !!!
i had and gave it to my brother awhile back, i think he is still using it
