Anything that is rumored to happen?
I have read around that it will be on at&t around January, December for the Christmas holidays to kick off something big.
at&t will not release this. It will not compromise its status with the biggest marketable american phone (IPHONE). Apple will put a kabosh on this real Iphone killer known as The Touch HD. Sprint will most likely try to get it to put itself on the map. But why would ATT jeopordize its exclusive status. IDK of course I may be wrong. My 2 cents tho.

Rumour: Android on Touch HD
http://www.areamobile.de/news/9999.html
wohooo... Touch HD with 2 OS....
Would be very nice if you can decide if WinMo or Android...
or better: just try whats fits better to your needs...
In the US the HD will be stalled and it is likely that they will wait for the Android version to be released there. In other words, the regular HD will not make it to the US, but some time later the Android HD might. It will most likely not be dual boot, but I'm sure someone on this forum will find a way to make that work, if the hardware remains the same.
what do you guys think about this?? t-mobile it's getting the hd2 and sprint might get the supersonic, supposedly the supersonic has 3.7 or 4.3 screen inch same as hd2, but hd2 runs windows mobile and supersonic will run android, what do you guy think about this two powerful smarthphones? which one would be better? will t-mobile have any chances of getting the supersonic? will supersonic launch on june of 2010?

get supersonic if it has 4.3 display android now is better
I'm not going to change carrier just for a phone. They're pretty much similar in specs and the battle between WinMo vs Android comes down to personal preference, really. Still, at the end of the day, I'd rather have a SIM card than not (Sprint has horrible receptions around here anyway).
lol @ questions about speculating.
If the Supersonic gets released, and it has the same hardware as the HD2, then it will be just as much of a monster as the HD2.
I REALLY don't understand the mentality of people who believe Android is the best mobile OS right now. Currently owning a G1 since launch day (and a Nexus One for a week), I can testify to it's many shortcomings. Windows Mobile isn't perfect, but in terms of stability it's on a different level entirely.
i have t-mobile and i will buy the hd2 since i dont really like sprint but.. the supersonic seems good too, i hope doesnt come with 4.3 in screen because i will be soo jealous because most the people in this forum want android in hd2 and supposedly the supersonic will be just like hd2 but in android, i have never got an android phone but ill stick with the hd2 maybe if the supersonic it has same hardware as hd2 people from xda can hack it and we can be able to use it on hd2, who knows
In my oppinion , to answer your question, how developed is Android & how deeveloped is Windows. Seems Windows has more experience than Android. To me the Supersonic is coming out of left field to try & imitate & take some of the glory away from the King-HD2, me, it's HD2 all the way.
Oh yea Sprint is on it's last breath, not very many people use sprint, regardleess they say it's #3(which doesn't make sense, w/lousy customer support included) & Tmo is #4 with the best plans & the best phones & great customer support (been to them all & Tmo is where I'm going back to w/no complaints). a year & a half I've been waiting & next week I'll be happy again.
yeaah king-d2 sounds good, do you think there's going to be an htc hd3 by november?
Well i don't think so but it's posible you see Win7 seems to be their new direction which seems Ok in a way concidering the big hassle Apple is giving so many manufactures which leaves Windows free & clear. Personally, maybe I'll use Win 7 on my PC but I don't have all that much of a need for it on the HD2. Check Engadget & Boygeniusreport for starters to recognize the many sites that will keep you updated.
i will never stop saying that the Genius's are here.
yeah.. well i dont know bout those hd3 "specifications" that were on the internet, i hope they are true i wanna believe so bad but only time will tell
what do you guys think
Well after my ATT Razr finally ave up the ghost last week I ended up getting an HD2 T-Mobile. My first smart phone so I have no experience to compare Winmo/Android/Iphone.
First off I LOVE the large screen and sleek form factor of this phone. It is pleasure for me just to look at it and hold in my hand. Also the sense UI is very nice and thanks to XDA I have this thing tweaked nicely with Cookie's Home Tab, tetherings, etc. It might even be better if I flach the ROM.
That said I do seem to get a lot of freezes and crashes. Also with T-mo I am on Edge a lot and never was with ATT. I have an Incredible that will be waiting for me at Verizon on Thursday but I am a bit conflicted about giving up the HD2. I'm hoping for some feedback from more experienced smart phone users on this forum. some pros and cons for me:
Incredible runs Android. I guess this is the big one. May be more stable, more apps to download, etc.s. Maybe a much better user experienced.
love the big screen on HD2 (but I guess3.7 aint shabby)
Better network with Verizon but a bit more money
HD2 is quad band world phone.
OLED screen on Incredible is supposed to suck in daylight and the HD2 may be something I can use better outdoors. I guess the battery life is better with OLED but I would rather carry a spare battery and be able to see the thing on the street.
I have until Friday (2 more days) to return my HD2 so your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks................Marc
Return the HD2, get the incredible, if you dont like it, return that and get the HD2 again!
or just play with one in the shops. we arent gonna be living with the phone, you are, and so what I may like may not be what you like
That said, I want the Incredible, cos i wanna experience android, but I like the HD2 aswell! I cant have both, and since the incredible isnt coming to the uk, i guess thats my decision made for me!
U can put an Android system to HD2..and prolly U can also put a WM to Incredible
personally Ive got an HD2, but Id love to have the incredible..but for now its only for states 4g stuff..but really..before the Incredible got out..HD2 was the best phone on the planet earth..IMO
Android to the HD2 is far off in the future if at all.

Was probabaly the Touch HD, not the HD2
I think that HD2 was not much ruined by Tmobile installing their software on it... I have seen lots of poeple complaining about HTC Andorid based devices with Verizon - Droid and Eris... I simply cannot believe HTC would want something like that on the market. Droid is 5 times worse than my old HTC Wizard (MDA)...
Don't get me wrong - android is somewhat of a good concept and good OS - but sweet lord can branding of the carrier can ruin the phone...
I am actually pretty happy with how Tmobile kept HD2 up to speed with the manufacturer unlocked device - side by side - more memory for Tmobile HD2 and only downside is "Tmobile" sign on it - everything else seems to be same - meaning Tmobile did not ruin it... Verizon or AT&T including Tmobile would ruin the phone terribly ...
Example - AT&T ruined Nokia E71 - they castrated Nokia out of 99% of all the guts and presented it in the worse possible way - just to promote iPhone... I had E71 and it is not easily replacable... Even with HD2 I had to give up some very useful things that I am researching and slowly getting on HD2...
LOVE HD2 - go for it you won't make a mistake...
Incredible is only 3.7 inch screen where the evo4 is 4.3
Both android. Evo is bang on the same as the HD2 but android.
Still waiting for detailed specs to see bands supported.

off the top of my head, evo has an updated snapdragon (i.e. the model after sorta thing but still 1ghz), better camera (8mp i think), hdmi out and 720p recording i thinkkk. so evo is a bit better than the hd2!

I don't think evo has an "updated" snapdragon. It just has the CMDA version and not the GSM. So I wouldn't expect any real differences there.
But otherwise, evo should be the updated HD2.
I think hardware vise it ends up like so:
1) EVO
2) Incredible
3) HD2
However, HD2 vs Incredible is a question of screen size. Furthermore, you still have to look at software and carrier. In the end it all comes down to the user and then it's 'to each their own.'
Incredible = Verizon = CDMA = skip!
Not that T-Mo has much of a network...
Hey Just learned that T-Mobile and so are discontinuing the HD2 on July 1st, Anyone know why? I know the Stock roms were crap and froze up and people returned it. But once modified its been a solid pocket pc for me. Anyone know whats going on or if there is a recall or something? Why is the HD2 already going out or do they plan to bring something like the EVO in its place?
Official Source?
T-Mobile store, then various links I came across, even vodaphone.

As it is, the HD2 dropped from 544$ to 499$ in just a short time.
Extremely old news on the Vodafone front, and that T-Mobile USA thread you referenced is completely unfounded. Rumors floating across the interwebs.
EDIT: Also as far as I remember, the phone came in at $449 and is still the same price.
Well while the thread might not mean anything, Talking to the T-Mobile store ppl sure does mean something to me.

lol, is that the same t mo staff who absolutely assured several people win P 7 upgrade would be coming? Store staff know fugg all, unless they also happen to be phone nerds too, which most aren't.
However, I can see tmo ditching it fairly soon, i mean, they sold a shed load of them, and now the margin will drop more, plus they will have had a ton of returns/complaints/problems meaning headaches for tech support, , sounds reasonable to think they'll be clearing out some of the more awkward lines ready for the wp7 range later this year.
Yea thats the reason I was told it will be cause of all the returns on it, which I work on phones.. so many customers I had where I put a custom rom on it, which of course makes it smoother. ^^ (Energy wee)
Considering Walmart and Amazon both dropped the contract cost to $50, and that TMOUS has a lot of android phones coming out. I would say the likelihood of HD2 being discontinued is pretty high. Doesn't really matter to me, I got mine and I'm happy with it.
pretty sure tmoUS said that the HD2 would only make a limited run for 3 or so months...so I wouldn't doubt the july 1st date.
The question is.. is the HD2 really that bad not to live that long? Granted I guess once Android gets working on the HD2, Ill be a happy camper too ^^
this phone looked nice but i'm really disappointed in what you can get for the phone. no decent tv apps. it seems loads of trouble getting any apps. and flash player don't even work.

I thought there is a flash player fix? My only real gripe on it is that the youtube app.. doesnt let you see your youtube stored favorites...
your nexus link is old (12/2009) and this has been VF policy since mid December, (after all the rumours that VF Uk where pulling the HD2).
Still a good seller, they even relented and started to issue Firmware upgrades.

The problem is... no one seems to be willing to work on an Android release for the HD2 hardware, which is odd considering the EVO/Incredible are very similar... The only "Android on HTC/HD2" threads I have found are actually GNU type linux distros... While they're cool, they're still not quite what most of us are looking for.
I'm actually trying to sell my HD2 and weasel out of my 2-year contract so I can go get either the Incredible or the EVO4g.

Are you kidding me? They've been working their asses off for an android port for the HD2. There's a stickied thread in the rom section. They are still having problems with the linux kernel, so it's gonna be a while until android runs halfway decently, but they're making great progress. These things take time. And the evo is not very similar to the hd2 at all... they only look similar.
If you want android to use full-time, it's best to go with an android phone. They've been working on android ports for the older msm72xx winmo devices (kaiser, tp2, tp, etc.) for years and still don't have a perfect port. Don't expect a fully-functional android port anytime soon... but it will be cool to have my great winmo device with the ability to boot into android when I please.
don't get me wrong this phone is nice, its just a shame its not simple when you want apps. the apps cost a bomb as well. reminds me of my n96.how do you know when there's a firmware update?
Probably discontinued because its crap!
Yes they are working hard on android.

This phone is great, the only regret is the dying OS. Let's hope they manage to get Android working.
Hi all.
I hate my HTC Tattoo. I can't wait to change it.
The main problem is money, but I've found someone who will buy my Tattoo for a reasonable price, and I've found a guy who will pay me to set up a website for him, so I'm considering changing phone. I'll stick to android, and I was thinking of getting the Nexus One, because it doesn't have all the Sense or Motoblur junk so it gets the updates faster.
Do you have any ideas about where to buy it (or any other decent android smartphone) cheap. I've found a place where they sell it unlocked for 508 euros (635US$), but I'm sure you can find it cheaper. I live in Italy, so it has to be a place that sends stuff worldwide.
Also, if anyone is thinking of selling a N1 or another android phone (or knows someone who is), could you please tell me by PM or comment?
Thanks,
David

Why, man?
Coz HTC not releasing SW-updates?
Tattoo is a bargain at its price (~300USD), I consider.
I started hatting the tattoo too and I'm attempting to sell it now.
And yah its basically cuz I'm tired of 1.6 and there seems there is never going to be a fully working 2.x rom.
Well I think there are some Roms which are even better than official 2.1 that you can just install but surely nexus one is better choice. I love my tattoo even tho I used that phone as a spare only bad thing abt tattoo is small screen that's all but again it fits really cool than any other smart phone out there and If you just work arnd lil bit with roms and install market patched than I think no need to upgrade
Note : there are some pplz who are buying old phones I will send link when I come home and also u can buy nexus one from eBay in abt 350 to 425 USD
Yeah, no S/W updates, but also bad camera, screen, reception...
Thanks symond
EDIT: Oh, almost forgot: no 3D Graphics -.-'
I'm out of the Tattoo scene. Traded it for another phone.
yeah ive played with the tattoo, and i did NOT like it at all!
