i remember having this phone about 2 and half years ago, but could use it anymore due to the buttons going bad.does anyone still use one and its 100% fine?
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.
thats goood to know. same problem i had then but back then there werent so many ways to revert to stock and i didnt know what i know now lol. so i couldnt send it for repairs i loved it tho
bought it in March 2010 and still looks new, everything works no problems with the hardware buttons or anything

tmobile stopped selling hd2's within the year after intro. go on ebay to purchase.
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

I think most of you guys don't use your herald anymore and I've recently started to get tired of mine(due to i fail at flashing through sd card) so I'm in the market for a new phone. Just wondering if you guys can give some feedback on phones you may recently have bought. I'm on the tmobile network so i was thinking of getting the g1 or new mytouch phone. If you guys have any suggestions or feedback on those phones or any other ones i would appreciate it. I love my wing but I think its time to upgrade.

That's the problem, it is an if at this point. The Touch Pro 2 is already confirmed on the big 4 in the US, it's already released on half of them, and releasing on the other half in the next 60 days. It's the "it" phone this year, and probably well into next year as well. It's definitely my next phone.
IMHO "upgrading" to a new Android device is in all reality "downgrading". What makes WinMo great, the customizations...the programs...the hackability, it hardly exists on Android. Yes yes I know before someone comes in here and goes all custom ROM on me, you can do stuff with it. But Android to me is just another pretty dumbphone OS, *cough* iPhone *cough*.
You took the words right out of my mouth dude.
I've had my Wing for more than 2 years and it's done good for me even though, spec wise, it is a crappy phone lol.
The phone I'm getting next is the Touch Pro 2.
I have both the TP2 and the G1, now, in defense of android, it can be a fun system, but I have several issue with it, speed being the main one. Using a custom rom, and actually installing apps slows the phone to a crawl.. the tp2 is awesome.
I cant wait until i get my Tmobile Touch Pro2. At least my wings will go down using the newest Windows Mobile,lol. Even though i plan to keep mine.
TP2 looks amazing, and I might spring for it when it comes out. Right now I use a G1 with a custom ROM and no complaints about the speed
Uhm, you do know that the TP2 is already out right?

Hey All
Just ordered myself a HD2 off of Ebay. Paid $750aud inc shipping. Finally decided to retire my slow old Xperia X1, will prob just keep using it to test new rom's that come out....
Now I have a few questions. Are they're any special tweaks or cabs to install to make it better? What case's are people mainly using with the HD2? Any general problems or things I should know?
Thanks everyone
I think that is very personal.
I am using cookie tab now and it is very good for what i like about a phone. Just look around this forum and read, try and experience !
It`s very nice to try tweaks especially if they are in a cab. If you don`t like it, just uninstall. If anything is not good the folks here will help you set thing right again.
Its a great forum for a great phone

You will not be disappointed... I was worried about the lack of keyboard when I made the change from the X1 to the HD2 and I can tell you its not a problem... for tweaks a must is BSB Tweaks (found on here in a sticky I think), has loads of tweaks that are very handy... there is also a thread on things to do with your HD2 when you get it... some of them are covered by bsb others not so much all handy... I have not yet had a problem with my HD2 but some do... again there are loads of threads about this problem or that... so far (touches wood as probably just jinxed myself) its been all gravy...
I reckon you should stay with the oem rom for at least a week and research this forum. customising your hd2 is a very personal thing, what suits one will not suit another. there's a thread which people post there must have apps, I would try there first. that's my opinion
It is interesting to see how fast the pricing of the Leo drops from 820AUD at the end of Jan to 750AUD now.
But anyway I recommand you to test your device for few days before doing some flashing or customising to see if there is any hardware issues
If I were you I would install several tweak softwares like BSB and HD2Tweak.
just to cover all the available reg tweaks
Just my tiny bit of advice
The Leo should amaze you lol

hi guys, i want to ask~
is AU's telstra version hd2 using exactly the same frequencies with US's T MOBILE versions?
thank you.
im not sure if AU's version can use China's WCDMA frequencies.
Ebay
I just hope you get it. I ordered a phone via ebay before and got burnt along with many others, had a good rep etc. Anyway Ebay are basically useless in terms of assisting to get any $ back.
Other than that you'll love it, its a great phone and very customizable.

Its not true. Paypal buyer protection is very good. They always return my money when they should. And the seller must prove that you got the parcel.
Yer I was planning on staying on the stock rom for a bit....funny I used to flash my xperia to be like a stock HTC phone, so yer the stock rom should keep me happy for a few weeks...
Yer I was a bit skeptical about having only an onscreen keyboard, one of the things I loved about the xperia was the HW keyboard
Cant wait till it arrives, it looks like an amazing phone

I had asked HTC on twitter when the new win7 phones will be coming out since I was interested in the hd2, they told me that the first phones will be for sale in Q4,
Right now i dont know exactly what to do. But ill give it a chance and hope for an update. So ill be getting the HD2 tonight.
I bought an xperia last year in feb and was really dissapointed when there werent any new official panels, thnx to XDA I pimped my phone a little bit. But now when I recieve my new phone tonight, ill give my old Xperia to my mother who needs a new phone

Unfortunately not in my case and with 32 other people. Thats how many people this guy stung. Through letters from all victims, QLD police investigated, and the guy was tracked down and currently behind bars, this was the update from the police however still no money despite chasing for it.

Like 6-7 month you mean ? Sure that a good idea.
Bye guys.
I came to android world by having a tytn 2 which I enjoyed alot, haret-ed my ass oof, tried alot of roms back then.
I became so obsessed with android, I received a wildfire for my birthday. At first it seemed an upgrade, but then I've seen what means to have a cpu without a gpu struggling even to animate simple 2d stuff.
So, here we are, three months later and I cooked this idea I want a new phone with android. So I've gone with HD2 to be able to switch back to wm if I ever needed it at any time.
So here's my advice:
If it's your kids/girlfriends phone, leave it as is. If it's your phone and you are sick of it and it doesn't meet your expectations, sell it while it's sparkling new, to be able to get as much money off it, add some quids and get a real phone.
I will be less active on this wildfire subform, so I wish you happy buzzing days to come.

sorry to hear that. However, although HD2 is not the latest phone, I would love having an HD2 because you can have dual boot with Windows Phone 7 and Android, as well as WM.

I upgraded today to the Samsung Galaxy Note, and retired my trusty HD2. I just wanted to come on here and thank all of the fabulous developers for the HD2.
It truly has been the best phone I have ever owned, the note has a lot to live up to.
Many thanks to the whole HD2 community, in particular Cotulla for MAGLDR, and Tytung for his fabulous ROMs, of which I was an avid user, and which will continue to help me by adding resale value to my HD2
Goodnight!

Hey, no need for retirement, I can take it for you
Just sold my HD2 via gumtree. Spent ages writing a glowing description of the phone and its capabilites, loaded it with the ICS CM9 build and put my windows 7 activation key for live in the box.
The guy who bought it then hands it off to his 8-9 year old daughter, and I realise it's for her. I give it a week before it's smashed to pieces from being dropped from her tiny hands.
Disappointing that my immaculate and well cared for HD2 is going to someone who won't make use of all the benefits this phone has to offer, but he paid my initial asking price off the bat, and I had expected to be haggled down a bit as is standard practice for gumtree.

UltraFruit, a Windows Phone 7 ROM with a lot of improvements !
I did see that improvement, however, it still needs more tweaking as it suffers from some issues.
Find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21481947
@OP: it's a pitty you had to sell your HD2. I decided to keep mine, even knowing that in the next few months I'll upgrade. It's a milestone and, besides, I would get much less than what it still worths.
What do you think of the Note? I've been following the Note's forum on XDA and pretty much everyone is pleased, even though the screen issues with color banding and black blocking. Is it more pleasant to read than the HD2? Can it achieve the same low brightness levels of HD2?

A friend of mine got one, it had Android pre-installed on it (second hand) and the hardware specs are pretty good, but I found the phone not that responsive considering the specs. Thats probably because it doesn't run Android natively I think, but it might just be just this situation.
Since its so cheap, I would really consider it
Okay thanks

The phone has a lot of development but I felt it is quite laggy....
I used it with Windows phone and it seemed to have bugged out something and was terribly laggy.....
When I used it with Android, it was a little bit better, but still laggy....
According to me, don't but it.
It's bad because I really like to have the possibility to switch beetween OS, but if it's laggy...no point to buy it

Yes it is but is it really a worthwhile upgrade? I think he should go for a better phone if he actually wants to upgrade or stick with the galaxy 3 as our devs have recently started working 10 times as hard to bring us awesome development such as MIUI, AOKP, G3MOD 3.1, the new Kyorakernel test version, CM7 the list goes on.
in fact the guy with the HD2 didn't contact me yet so i stay with my g3...
