Where did you see a UI ???
I saw a Interface; but User????
although wel all moan about sense, it does look better then that!
its practically the same phone with less buttons and more memory (an internal sd card probably as it has the same amount of nand).... looks like ill be keeping my hd2
edit: oh yeah and a kickstand.......cant forget the kickstand
Honestly think the original HD2 looks a lot better, though the build in kickstand is rather neat.
I think the HD7 is one big bag of fail
I mean, a year later, the successor to one of the greatest and most popular winmo handsets of all time...gets a measly memory bump???
Same processor? Same Screen Size? I mean, its prety much an inevitability that WP7 will be ported to the HD2...whats the incentive to upgrade to the HD7??
Now at least the Desire HD got a processor bump, is definitely more futire proof than the HD7.
Maybe that HTC's way of telling MS that HTC is now primariliy an Android supporting company?
I mean, the HD7 may be the WP7 flagship for HTC, but no way is it THE overall HTC flagship. Thats the Desire HD.
In the meantime, with almost identical specs to the HD2, thanks for making the WP7 HD2 port easier on the devs, HTC
Can someone tell me difference between 2.2 - 2.3 ?
cuz i see alot of devs trying to get fully working 2.3 ROM for our X8

I always recode my music from flac to m4a with aac codec, and the phone can easily play them, no matter which ROM I have on. So I'm not sure if only ginger can play aac. :-/

For me 2.3 seems to be faster, it looks better and has some small improvements, some of them doixanh is trying to port to 2.2.
like doixanh, i think froyo is faster in terms of menu navigation, but i think gingerbread looks better.. that's why i'm loving doixanh's ROM, because it is froyo with gingerbread's look and special features..

I was told this would not work for z1... But is this real?
The built in mic is ridiculous...
