For you HTC HD2 owners out there, there’s been much debate on the Windows Phone 7 upgrade options. The hardware should be able to run it just fine, but will there be an upgrade option available? We’ve heard yes and no, but nothing official from HTC or Microsoft. Now you can voice your opinion in an online petition.
While petitions haven’t necessarily worked in the past with HTC, there’s no reason not to sign it if you want WP7 on the HD2.
You can find it here.

You know, if MS were smart, they’d be making a HUGE deal out of which phones WILL be getting upgrades to WPS7. The ’7′ announcement has pretty much guaranteed (to the general public anyway) that MS products are EOL and un-buyable for the next 6-8 months.
If they started making a lot of noise now that phones like the HD2 are “future-proof” they could clean up and keep their hardware relevant…
If we are allowed the to learn the 6.5 with the option to update to the Win7 where would the problem be with that. I believe as in everything there always bugs needing to be worked out. Concider, have all the bugs been worked out of 6.5 let alone the Win 7. Think about it. I know many more intelligent than I who will agree & disagree with me but common sence will bring us all into agreement, we should have a choice, not a monopoly.
@cscoot03 – monopoly isn’t all that bad as long as I get to be the top hat.
Will people at least wait till MIX 2010 for more news ? Maybe the final hardware specs will come out and we’ll know once and for all if the HD2 will support WP7.
Till then, it’s a guess, if the hardware can run it, will it have all the features ? Will it run as fast ? If your not getting a phone now and looking into the HD2, wait a while to confirm.
I won’t buy a phone till WP7 models are out, I’ll stick with my Titan for a little longer (even though I want a VGA screen and faster CPU now…oh, well)
Whats all this big deal about Hardware etc etc. Why not have phones operate the same way Laptops operate. If I can push Win7 to a 256 mb RAM, 40gig Laptop, why not have the same flexibility with Phones? If it wont work as smooth as it should on certain specs then let it be up to the customer to upgrade the Hardware rather than force hardware on people….my 2 cents….
