HTC HD2 Inbound to US Carriers Q1 2010.
According to Slashgear looks like the HTC HD2 AKA the Leo will grace the US after all. The HD2 will be sporting Windows Mobile 6.5 on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, with a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen and 5-megapixel autofocus camera; it’s also the first Windows Phone to support both multi-touch and HTC Sense.
Perhaps best of all, HTC CEO Peter Chou has confirmed that HTC will be offering a US 3G version of the HD2 in Q1 2010.
The HD2 has managed to pack in a display half an inch bigger than that of the Touch HD but with only a minimal increase in size – it measures 120.5 x 67 x 11 mm and weighs 157g with the 1,230mAh battery – thanks to the dramatically thin bezel. The HD2 offers HSPA/WCDMA (900/2100) and quadband GSM, WiFi b/g and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. It also had a 3.5mm headphones socket and microUSB port, accelerometer, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor. Runtime estimates from the standard 1,230mAh battery are up to 320 minutes WCDMA talktime or 390 hours standby; alternatively you can watch up to 8hrs of video or listen to up to 12hrs of music.
Speculation from WMExperts claims that Verizon can be ruled out since the launch of the HTC Imagio and has also ruled out AT&T because of the Pure. For now all we can do is sit back and wait.
i don’t think it matters that the pure and imagio have been released for att and verizon. this is a completely new phone with hardware never seen in the states; they will still want it.
I want it!
Telus will surely get it! They have been the first to get the Diamond the Pro and the Pro 2 of all North American carriers. Why not this time?
Honestly, I got to have a keyboard no matter what but if this some how comes to sprint I am getting this for sure.
Come Onnnnnn SPRINT!!!
Sprint needs to get this one, but its coming Gsm first from what the full article reports. I’d love to get this phone, seeing that i’ve been following it for the last few months. I cant wait to upgrade from this vogue finally.
and back to the store my TP2 goes…
If Sprint gets this…
Scratch that, whoever gets this gets me.
Yes~ Will get this if it comes to Sprint (unless it requires an everything plan)
Sprint!!! Lets go!!!
Maybe Sprint will get it.
And since Sprint does not Require a “special” plan for WinMo devices (at least up to now,) I may wait and see.
The phone looks sweet, and it will have the newest technology, especially with Snapdragon and all
I would ditch my vogue for this…. VERIZON, PLEASE!!!
i want it and now now give it to me i will sell my girl or kids if i have to rob a bank or something thaaaaats just hot
I wouldn’t get too excited yet, especially us Sprint users…..
The posibility of Leo is the only reason I haven’t jumped on the TP2 wagon, TP1 with an Energy WinMo 6.5 ROM will do for now….
well I think Sprint would pick it up since they got the TP2 and need a replacement for the Diamond. So this would make the logical choice and of course they are gonna mark it up the wazoo. Until the the other carries drop this in their stores. So Yea I am waiting for more feedback before I upgrade from my diamond to the TP2 just in case this bad girl comes out wahoo!!! And to say I was ready to go to the store on the 11th and pick up the TP2…. So the waiting begins….
I would love to get this phone but chances are it will be ATT or Tmobile since the article says GSM in the US.
I would surely get this phone if it came to Sprint but since it looks like it will come to ATT or Tmobile I would just get an iphone as it is a more reliable OS than WM. Mind you I’m no fanboy – I’ve been running WM for about 6 years now but as soon as the iphone could sync with Exchange there is little to make WM a better platform.
I admit that no OS is perfect but WM even WM 6.5 requires far more resets than WM and HTC phones inherently have bad BT support – might be a WM issue not HTC but in the end it doesn’t matter as the BT just doesn’t work as clearly as it does on an iphone or a free, non PDA phone. Tried many headsets – I have hundreds of clients with HTC phones and they all say the same so I’d say I have a reasonable sampling when I make this statement.
Man ive been with sprint for 13 years, if they dont get this phone and someone else does……im going to that carrier
awesome.. but it would be cooler if it had the full keyboard like the HTC touch pro… the processor and camera are impressive!
the phone is beautiful i’ll admit but its still running the same old windows OS… Until its updated then the processor won’t matter(hello TG01) and even then windows might not make it..and what about HTC and their less than reliable hardware??
Sorry CDMA users! This phone is GSM based so it’s either going to T-Mobile or AT&T. My money is on T-Mobile. Check this out…….
