18You heard it here folks! Our friend Da_G at xda-developers.com has found a way to “bypass” or break the Microsoft Live Activation that was holding us back from making roms for Windows Phone 7… With this all possible we can now possibly port to the HD2 and other Fast Windows Mobile Devices. Now sadly I doubt the Touch Pro 2 will run it but maybe the Verizon LG Panther could, along with HD2. Mostly just HD2 ports though as it is basically the same phone as the HTC HD7.

14Thanks to orangekid here at PPCGeeks for directing our attention to this exciting news. XDA Developers have been working hard on successfully getting WP7 to boot on the HD2/Leo. One of their members, Cotulla, linked the video from his twitter account. The video will show you proof of WP7 booting up on the HD2/Leo….

13While most of us are CDMA users here, this is still for a good cause. As you probably know, XDA has been working on porting the Windows Phone 7 ROM to the HTC HD2. Da_G has done most of the work on this, but he needs a few things before he can get any further. As most developers know, its difficult to work on something without actually having a device to test it on. So, XDA has started a donations thread for this to try to get Da_G a HD2 and a Trace 32 tool so he can find the JTAG. These are estimated to be about $1400. As of now, the donations total about $630. This is no guarantee that he’ll be able to get a fully working port, but he can’t get any further without these tools. Read more for the links…

27If you remember back in December, there was the T-Mobile HTC leaked roadmap, and on that list was the HTC Tera, which was slated for an April release. Well, it looks like they’re behind schedule, because now rumor has it that it will be a Q3 2010 release and will only have Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. Its rumored to have a 3″ WQVGA resistive touchscreen, dualband HSPA, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and GPS/aGPS. It’s based on Qualcomm’s 600MHz MSM7227 chipset with 512MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM, and measures 115 x 53 x 15.5 mm. So it is definitely smaller than the Touch Pro 2 and also no Snapdragon processor. So, with Windows Phone 7 just around the corner, would you buy this phone? We’re thinking most people will wait for Windows Phone 7 to ship.

13First we heard rumors that the HD2 would be upgradeable to Windows Phone 7, there was even a picture of it (which was determined to be fake). Now we’re hearing that it is not possible to upgrade it because it lacks the three button requirement for WP7. Its not that it lacks the three buttons, it actually has five buttons. They’re also saying it lacks other hardware requirements, but haven’t said what those requirements actually are. They should release some of the hardware requirements later this month at MIX10 Developer’s Conference, so hopefully we’ll have a definite answer by then.

6For 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.

Our forum user TMartin has pulled the cab from the T-Mobile HD2 ROM for Slacker Radio. It should work good on WVGA devices, but please report back how it works on other resolutions (VGA, QVGA, etc). Also, Slacker is an internet radio service, available in the US and Canada, so we are not sure if …

If you remember, the HD2 was plagued with a pink hue showing up on pictures taken with its camera. At the time, HTC said it would release a fix, but some people doubted if it could be fixed with a patch and thought the problem might have been hardware related. Well, today HTC released a …

If you haven’t heard by now, the HTC HD2 (Leo) appears to have a camera issue where some of them have pinkish spots on the picture, like the example here (thanks to WMPowerUser for the image). At first everyone thought it had to be hardware related and were debating on returning their devices until it …
