Windows Phone 7 Series has been spotted running on a HTC HD2. We already knew the HD2 would be able to upgrade to WM7, but someone at MWC10 has snapped a few shots of it in its early form.
Things to note are:
-The device had a current copy of TomTom installed, which launched and ran perfectly fine.
-It ran fast, faster than the HTC HD2 runs on WM 6.5.
-Lastly, the software was multi-lingual out of the box.

Excellent news that it runs better with wp7 compared to wm6.5
That really is news worthy… I REALLY want an HD2 but I’m thinking that by the time WP7S releases, there will be something like the HD2, with a AMOLED screen and the dedicated search button. So I guess I’m not quite as excited for the HD2 anymore.
looking good!
can someone please leak this rom and hack together a rom for my touch pro 2 already? hahaha wishfull thinking…..
According to the picture, It runs faster than 6.5. LOL
so the hd2 is my new device for sure
lol @ the people who decided to go Android before Windows Phone7 was announced. Think you know the HD2? Think again
I agree with the person above, an HD2 with a dedicated AMOLED screen for those power saving deeep black colors and 4.3 in capacitive goodness
I could settle for the HD2 with Tmobile or wait till Sprint announces their WP7 Series line (HD3)
Sorry folks, I’m hearing it’s a fake
(1) T-Mobile NL is not available at MWC
(2) Have it confirmed from people on the ground at MWC that this is not real, there is no HD2 there with 7 on board
Still, there is reason to believe that HTC does have it running on some HD2s, but I doubt they are floating around.
@Malatesta – yeah i was thinking it was fake cuz why a pic instead of a vid, but it didnt really matter to me cuz im not getting a hd2 anyway
@ Malatesta
It’s hard to disagree with a picture that does not look photoshopped in any visible way, displaying a date of Feb 16 2010
-Showcasing customizable backgrounds on Metro UI
-Shows a dedicated hub for the Carrier bands and data information
-the “foto’s” seems to be his personal device running WP7 series Operating System
I’m inclined to say this is legit, and a very promising leak by someone in Spain. Thanks mystery man!
Not saying it’s definitely fake, but you could whip up a mockup jpg image in a matter of minutes based on the images MS has posted, change the date on top, and open it on your phone in the htc album, and you would have the exact effect he has there.
Look, on my diamond- http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/8765/image002uh.jpg
Sorry, the only camera I had available to take that with was my touch 6900
@Malatesta –
I need to take a clearer pic of it, and post it here.
@qwho –
Brilliant! I’ll tweet it as a confirmation post. ROTFLMAO
damn I really want that phone but I’m not excited about having to switch to t-mobile.
Like I said, The pic said it’s runs faster than WM6.5 LOL again.
And it was running TomTom… I doubt they have a WM7 version released as of yet, so can that be said for something towards Backwards compatability? Also the last post about the HTC Mini also proves Customizable UI’s are not out of the question..
I’m calling fake on this image.
Alignment is not even proper on the screen
1) Top left hand corner has “Gapping”
2) The HTC Logo @ the bottom, the screen alignment just above it is not even aligned properly.
Hmm Mike. Could the gapping on the left be because its slightly showing the left side you can scroll to, like in the demo videos? I noticed it did show a sliver of the next screen in all the screens they were showing off.
You know what this operating system reminds me of? the initial build of android that we had a long, long time ago…

And the funny thing is, I really liked that version.
Looks like Engadget is in on the joke too, lol:

I think that puts this to rest, it’s not real folks. Like I said, go in with skepticism.
I feel this is not from WMC floor, but perhaps given out to someone, like with some past users of the WP7 OS
@Malatesta ah, nice joke there.
Oh well lol
I still want an hd2 running wp7
or a comparable phone to be released as such
id3 tags indicate the picture was taken by a Nokia E72-1, and edited in Photoshop elements….
but heh even those attributes could be easily faked…. dam technology….grrr
They could have easily just made a photo that looks like the WM7 home screen and loaded it on the the HD2 and put it on the photo slideshow to make it full screen and make it look like it was actually a OS on the phone….
what do you think?
@ Master4g
qwho posted just that on post # 10 of this page, is that what gave you the idea?
