Will You Stick With Your HD2?

Hey guys, I know many of us just got out T-Mobile branded HD2's on the 24th.
T-Mobile offers a return within 15 days.
Are you going to keep your HD2? Did WinMo scare you off?
Are you going to trade it for some snapdragon android?

yes yes yes this phone is ten times better than what i expected it to be.... compared to my g1, this is heaven.
except when it freezes randomly for a couple seconds unexpectedly...

I have had WM thru my last 3 phones (Dash, TP2, now HD2) I will be keeping my HD2 and LOVE WM

will do! thanks

My coverage in the Twin Cities was terrible, even though on the maps, it was "Fast Mobile Web" all over. Edge 95% of the time, 5% 3G. Great phone, but kinda worthless on Edge, just shipped it back. Ordered a Telstra one.

telestra hd2
does the telestra hd2 have 3g data bands for at&t???

Also, coming from G1. Still getting used to WM.
Wasn't thrilled the first few days, but that was just due to the learning curve. I'm now aware of how customizable WM is, which is great. So many ROM's, so many skins means that we can dial in our phones (no pun intended) the way we want them to be.
The screen and responsiveness on this thing is what is keeping me on it more than anything, though. Plus, I love the HTC music player, photo and video player, and calender. Great looking apps.

Of course you can. You just need to be sure to remove any customisations before returning it, should you need to. This is WinMo - you can do what you want

I don't know to be honest. Check that in the ROM section. I can't see why not.

just noticed the new section for tmo-us.
I don't like the looks of the custom roms so far...we'll se in the future.

I'm so in between right now.
I was at the TMo store and googled if the HD2 was getting WinMo7 and the first few links said yes, so I bought it (impulse buy, I was there to change my calling plan).
I really was going to get a Nexus One because I like Android but as other posters have said, after the WinMo learning curve, again (this is NOT the first WM phone I've had) I am in between.
This has an amazing screen, hands down. But really, that's where the differences end for me (besides WM and Android)
-Both have XDA devs and their amazing custom roms
-Both have (well HD2 will have) a huge following
Tough call. I miss my apps on the iPhone but that's all I miss with it. Where are my updated RTS games? Or a good (and cheap) TD game for WM6.5?

I got mine on the 13th Dec 2009.
Where have you been?
And I'm keeping it!

I love my HD2. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe when Win Phone 7 series comes out but the HD2 seems pretty safe until the end of the year.

Yes, but man... does it cost an arm and a leg.

I'm definitely keeping it, I'm using international HD2 in UK
Through my experiences in the old days with Hero and 3GS, I got bored really quick with android and iphone os, but not with HD2/Winmo now. I found myself to be kind of loving to tweak my phone. I love the open-source and customizations of Winmo, still finding a lot to do with my HD2.
However, I really miss some apps and games from android or iphone os, such as: Plants vs Zombies, Angry Birds, Layar Reality Browser and especially Tunewiki. I heard a winmo version of Tunewiki is in developing process, hope it will come soon.

i ave a nexus one, and jsut got a good deal on a HD2..convice me...

to keep the hd2. i have not had the hd2 for like 2 months, has alot changed? roms? windows mobile?
whats the news on getting windows mo 7 or an android port to the HD2?
also...is there any way to make Sense like my androind sense regarding widgets, twitter etc...
thanks...i have so missed my hd2 screen size....

Whether WP7 or Android will come to HD2 is still unknown. Sure, everyone will say it's only a matter of time, but I'll be straight with you and tell you it's as good as a 50/50 chance.
Having said that, it's a phone. Keep it or sell it. It's your call.

get the hd2. in a review online by a dignified tech website hd2 spanks the nexus one

Shall I pick your clothes out for tomorrow as well?

Did you install cookies home tab and editor? If not, you should try that. makes as many quick links as you want. Very Android/Iphonish. Works awesome... Also the new ROM with the Zim touch sensitivity fix makes it pretty rad.

If you want a real man's phone get the HD2...lolol
All joke's aside, it's really a matter of personal opinion: the HD2 uses WinMo, and with the latest ROM versions out there things run pretty smooth.
But if you want Android, then keep the Nexus. In the end, the basic features are the same, it's all about what feels right for you. (God I sound like a hippie...jk lol.)

yeah, i wiped and installed the elagence rom. i love it..i am just trying to find a way to use my google voice account to get my free texting..wish there was a GV app for this

SMOOTH???? as Android ive had android phones before and the have the flaws as well like force closes and sh** like that and as far as smoothness I think my HD2 is waaaayyyyy smoother then android im running the MAY 31 ENERGY ROM and its smooth like a hot knife threw butter trust me get the right ROM and you will never go back to android.

Very true...i have had lock ups also...
I am going to try the latest energy rom now. any tweaks that you would recommend i must do right after?
also..how can i get the original white flip clock with weather on that rom???

From my Personal Experience, i had a nexus one Which i sold and later bought the HD2, i have applied almost every rom available and text messaging lags a lot, also Stock rom is too slow and other roms are smooth and fast but out of the nowhere freeze and give me major problems.
it has better hardware than the nexus but to tel you the thruth, the nexus one with stock everything is so much faster than the HD2, all i can say is try it for yourself, im however swicthing back to the nexus or mytouch slide, because even my g1 was a lot faster than this phone with much less hardware, and i am not joking neither do i mean to say windows mobile sucks, but it is just for me.
if i get flamed, too bad!

get the Nexus. I traded my HD2 for one and love it.
Android is so much faster and is so much easier to use than WinMo.
That being said, if you need it for business, go with the HD2.

I had a Nexus 1 for 2 months then sold it and bought my HD2, I love them both, the Nexus 1 is more like an iPhone as far as user friendly. Win Mobile is harder to set up and change but much more powerful. I've contemplated getting another Nexus 1 but the HD2 hardware is so damn sweet, I think I'm staying with the HD2 now and waiting for the HD3 or something else.

Here is the link that i use

Is there much point getting one now?

I'm thinking of buying the HTC HD2 but is there much point now, if it won't be getting updated and newer and better phones are coming out?
I'm looking at it as it has the biggest screen(besides the streak which im also considering, but much more expensive)
What would you suggest?

if you actually like winmo as it is, with the way windows phone 7 is shaping up the hd2 could become a very valuable antique.

What has been your phone history? And what do you use or intend using the phone for?
WM, iphone and android suit different ppl and WP7 looks weird imho...

well if you have the patient to wait until the end of 2010 or so, just wait. i didn't have or why don't you try Evo?

Over the last couple of years, ive only used the bold 9000, HTC Desire and iPhone 4, however i sent back the iphone 4 as the ui is getting very boring.
I use the phone more for texts and internet than phone, i primarily want to use it for web browsing, thats why the streak appealed to me, but this is cheaper, im just worried about updates, and the lack of official support after WP7

I can't wait until the end of 2010 i have no phone at present lol. Also im in the UK so the Evo is a no go otherwise i would definitely have it.

if you like bets, get one now.
If the bet goes well, you will buy a "cheap" device which will get a fully functional froyo OS on it when the android devteam has completed the job, and be almost at the level of the Evo, without its bulkiness... and before the thing goes out and the demand increases, making the prices go higher.
If the bet goes bad, you still get a cheap but powerful device with WM on it
Anyway, given my experience with the device, and the market which is available for italy, I would get it again now as well.

Try before you buy my friend.
I've been using winmo for years and I love it. The HD2 is my favorite device yet.
Winmo users generally love to tweak. These forums make tweaking fun and you can usually get whatever you need, want and more for your phone if you're willing to search for it.
That being said, some find winmo and the HD2 an utter frustration. Some lament about buying the HD2 because it doesn't do everything right out of the box.
So if you like to customise, tweak and experiment, you may just love the HD2.
If you like something that works to it's full potential right out of the box, but may not be quite so custimisable and tweakable, perhaps another platform would be better.

i really NEVER recommend ppl a windows phone.. except i know that he can handle it.
i dont know u, so i would recommend android
u NEED to know what u do when u are using winmo, or u will hate it

The more I read about WM7, the more I am glad I have a WM6.5 phone, and I'm not planning to 'upgrade' to such a locked down platform.

I love tweaking, which is another reason for considering this phone, and which is why i got rid of the iPhone 4.
I love the idea of registry tweaks, which may sound weird, and i also love the idea of a winmo device being just like windows on the pc (regarding registry tweaks).
And regarding having everything work out of the box, i find that very boring, im always looking to do new things with a phone.
The only problem i am seeing is the future updates, looking at Android they are going to have constant updates, but obviously winmo 6.5 is not. however if i know that winmo will be getting unofficial updates from devs etc i will be more than happy to buy the HD2.
Thanks for all the replies so far.

Ok, i went ahead and bought a HD2, hopefully i'll enjoy it.

Please post your experiences with the phone.
And how much did you grab it for? US or non?

if you need big screen then definitely go for hd2. i was in your position. but screen size was a dealbreaker. had there one android phone with screen as big as this, i wouldn't have bought hd2

i have to say i agree about the screen.. i have a hd2 and my friend got a desire soon after me.. the screen estate difference is just HUGE...
and i recently ran the android test build side by side with his phone screen beside mine.. the difference just got worse coz the widget icons are much smaller in android compared to the quick link icons in winmo..

Awesome, i cant wait for my HD2 now .
I was getting sick of the headaches after surfing the web on my iPhone 4 due to the small screen.

good choice.....
you made a good choice op. hd2 is my first wm phone and i'll admit, i love it. the tweaking on the phone is good fun. at the moment im running CHT and SPB Mobile Shell side by side as well as having loads of other little tweaks to make the phone my own. theres a ton of really good apps and software floating about the net.
The only bad point i can think of is Opera's non support of 10.1 for wm6.5. Skyfire's pretty usefull for flash though so all's not lost. i'm sure you will love your new phone bud......

[Q] I wanna sell an Hd2 prototype I have...

Hi,
I am not new here, just never posted..
I own a what I found out to be the HD2 protorype, called the HTC PRO.THREE
It's all functional, and all the hardware and processor is the same as the regular HD2 accept for one thing... it has only 320Mb ROM.
The rest is exactly the same as the rest of the HD2's, works with all the ROM's and what not.
I have done a little research and found that there were only 500 made and scattered around the world as BETA TESTERS... I bought it without even knowing it was so "special".
Now I need to sell it since I got a T-Mobile HD2.
Do you think it being a prototype is some sort of added value for it?
lets assume that most of these are no longer among the livng...
anyone wanna buy it? how much should I ask for it?

Not saying you are lieing so please do not take it that way. But it would be a good idea to post some pics of the HD2 so everyone her can see it is a real HD2. There is just too many HD2 clones floating around and being sold out there these days.
If it is a prototype HD2 as you say it may or may nit increase the value as the T-Mobile and regular HD2s have more more MB for ROM then your HD2. But then again if you find a avid phone collector or a developer that is interested in it you might get a little more for the HD2. Just fpoer my personal interest I am going to google your HD2 model number you provided to see what I find.
Best of luck selling it.
Edit: Ok seems like you are dead on with the model name of the prototype HD2. Here is a link that I pulled up on it if any one wants to check it out. I would still post pics of your HD2 to calm any fears anyone might have that is interested in purchasing your HD2.

I don't think it's worth more because it was a prototype of special, maybe if it was an iPhone I could see it.
I do think it's cool as hell though and would be cool to have one, I just wouldn't pay more than like $100 or so to get a device with 320mb ROM when I have the exact same one with 1gb ROM.

clone?
Maybe it is simply a clone.

it wouldn't have the exact same hardware and custom ROMs/radios would not work on it.

Contact xmoo, he bricked his pro three, and is always the first to find/release test roms and such, maybe he's interested.

it sounds like a sweet device.

Hej,
Indeed I did brick one. And got a new one and sold the new one here on xda.
The prototype doesnt have that much of a big value cause it doesnt run current roms that good.
So if you want to sell it, I would offer around $100. The one I sold like half year ago was $170 inc shipping.
So let me know what you think.

Hey xmoo with it being the prototype/test device, does that that mean you can flash any radio version to it without bricking it? And out of curiosity how did you brick the one you had?

When I had mine. There was no HSPL or the Radio upgrade from HTC
The phone came shipped with mfg spl 0.67 plus radio 1.01.
So I wasnt able to update the rom and bricked it trying to drop SPL. Cause the radio and spl didnt allow higher version roms.
You can flash all signed and unsigned official hd2 roms. So no custom.

i have dutty's rom installed right now
i have had several different ones before that.
i will have to pass on 4he 100$, will use it as a media center in the car instead...and a gps!

Enjoy!

[Q] No Custom Roms?

am i missing something or there really is no custom ROM for Flipout? no cyanogen, MIUI, cronos or anything? the only custom rom i found is (ROM) FlipDroidMod2.1_SoftMod[wip](no blur) ..is that all? i don't wanna complain or anything.. i'm just surprised as i have Milestone and there's plenty of ROMs for that one though it has locked bootloader like Flipout..

it was an auction server like ebay.. some guy bought it last month, tried it and didn't like it so i bought it from him for 238$ which was pretty good since i'd have to pay 415$ if i wanted to buy it by myself from a shop.

here i can find it for 110 euros

I started forgetting shops and ebay for phones:
- online stores or mobile providers for phones
- ebay for covers, repair kits, batteries and accessories
btw, I'm using it @500mhz with no prob (you can set it to max 250mhz too to save battery) so it can support gingerbread easily
Motorola is quite strange: it uses .sbf roms instead of common .zip ones
So clockwork recovery must be ported and then roms can be cooked easily I guess
With this price it can find a place in many pockets and the physical keyboard is a plus for it

110EUR is a great price.. maybe even a weird price
i'd get it from online store as well but than that offer came up so i took advantage of it.
anyway, it seems to have the same processor (Cortex-A8) as my Milestone/Droid so it might be a good thing to port it from other Motorola device like this. Well that might sound pretty stupid 'cause it might be so obvious.. i really don't know anything about porting, sorry. I also have Openrecovery which seems to be a port of clockwock. Guess i'm gonna ask somebody with porting experience..

first, i actually meant just Milestone, not Milestone XT..
second, TI OMAP3410 is Cortex-A8 based..
OMAP is apparently something like chipset (SoCs) so though Milestone has different "chipset" from Flipout.. both have the same CPU core (Cortex-A8) though the devices still might be running different frequencies as the Cortex has wide frequency scaling range
..so it still might be a chance for a good porting base... i guess..
and the price seems to me suspiciously low, but that might be only because in here the Flipout is expensive.

so it's probably time to open a moonclick/amazon store in your country too !

I just got an unlocked flipout...kind of impulsively when I thought I had lost my phone (less than 1 year into its 2 year contract)....probably wouldn't have if I had read the forum first. But, my old phone turned up....
So, if there's a way to upgrade its ROM, I'm interested. And, I'd be interested in helping....its been a long time since I've done anything like this, but sounds like something I could dive into now (though I may still activate my FlipOut just so I can get data occasionally when I'm not near WiFi...)
The Dreamer.

So.. i have my new Flipout. Gotta tell it's an awesome thing.. though the display is really bad. Anyway, i already had to flash it several times i hated the old lockscreen so i modded framework-res with resources from froyo..but it has some weird issue which i hope get fixed somewhere in the config files.
Another thing.. phone memory. I'm not an app freak but i like my.. apps, ok i'm a freak. Anyways.. i'm already running low on phone storage so right now i'm heading for memhack.. if anyone already done that with Flipout, let me know.
EDIT: ok, i've just built in memhack and it's working now so never mind. if anyone interested, i can post instructions.

Yes, pls post instructions.
I can only find german instructions about this memhack. Is it compatible with link2sd ?
