A third confirmation from Microsoft settles it I guess, no WM7 for HD2.

“For Windows Phone 7 Series we are enforcing a strict set of hardware requirements to ensure a consistently great experience for end-users and developers. While we cannot confirm that WM6.X phones that satisfy those requirements will be upgradeable, every Windows Phone 7 Series device will be upgradeable with improvements and features we deliver with subsequent Windows Phone 7 Series releases. We currently do not have plans to update the HTC HD2 to Windows Phone 7 Series.”

And you think you would get a credible answer that way?  Hmmmmmm.

No, but I’m still curious as what was said and how the answer was phrased. We just had two Microsoft representatives in the last week come out and say no. I’m wondering if that is now being told to T-Mobile sales staff. I presume the answer is that the decision lies with Microsoft. One way or another, in the next few weeks somebody at T-Mobile should know.

I’m curious for those in the HD2 training; Did anyone ask about a WM7 upgrade and if so what was the response?

449.99 retail price, is ****in pretty dam cheap for this beast of a phone..During MIX they announce this phone to be upgradeable to WM7, i'm sold goodbye 9700...

I think the cheap price says it all about the probability of an upgrade. Its so cheap that some will overlook the lack of an upgrade. I hope I'm wrong.

I’m a little bit open for now just because it seems like a dumb move by Microsoft and given the conflicting information we are getting from MS on this. Wasn’t it just last week where a MS representative was quoted as saying it was up to the vendors? However, I wanted to throw in my 2-cents on a couple of common posts I’m seeing:

1)   XDA will offer WM7. That’s great but then you have bought an expensive phone and just voided the warranty by upgrading.
2)   T-Mobile will offer WM7 phones soon.  AT&T has been confirmed as a  premier WM7 partner for the US what that means I don’t know but I’m guessing the first WM7 phones will appear there..probably the HD3.
3)   Get a new phone next year . That’s great for those who can afford too but if you use your upgrade you are now stuck with a phone for 2 years with no upgrades.
4)   I have everything I need with WM 6.5. If WM7 does take off, there will be a huge development shift to that platform so it might be harder to get the apps you want as time goes on. You might say its only for 2 years (contract) but look how far the iPhone has come in that short space of time.

As I said above I’m just not sure yet. The rumored March17th release is the same week as the big MIX conference where all the juicy details will be spilled for WM7. That’s just god awful timing by T-Mobile to release this new phone and on roughly the same day have all this positive press on WM7 that the HD2 wont be able to get. Lastly, T-Mobile must have been aware of this situation so why did they take so long to get the phone out there given its been out in Europe for 6 months now.  Anyhow, who knows at this point. I guess I’ll survive another year on my Nokia 101.

Btw, Flash is not coming to WM6.5; Adobe will now skip it and offer it only for WP7.

I read this article & basically the HD2 has to have 6.5 by no choice since 7 is not available at this time. However, I am gonna provide an example of ppl that have been saying how can it have 7 without a search button. Another is simple, I am going to provide a good example:

Remember the DASH that launched with Windows Mobile 5 & then got an upgrade to 6 but didnt have a voice command button. It was substituted. There is 1 unusable button it seems & thats either Home or Windows Start Key. So pressing one of these or holding them could start search.

WM7 requires 5 buttons:
- Home Button
- Back Button
- Search Button
- Power Button
- Camera Button

HD2 has 5 buttons but the consumer will be so confused if they have to hit the call button to use the camera.

Sounds promising. There is one thing that makes me pause. At the WM7 conference, Microsoft said that all WM7 phones must have all of the following physical buttons:
-   Home Button
-   Back Button
-   Bing Search Button
 

According to Engadget, WM7 specs requires a physical camera and power button too. The HD2 doesn’t have either. I’m really starting to wonder about the WM7 upgrade. Its important to note that at the WM7 conference, Microsoft said WM6.5 support and development would continue. I’m starting to get the feeling that’s the direction that the HD2 will go. I hope I’m wrong.

windows phone 7 and hd2? more info next month.

Sounds promising. There is one thing that makes me pause. At the WM7 conference, Microsoft said that all WM7 phones must have all of the following physical buttons:
-   Home Button
-   Back Button
-   Bing Search Button

The HD2 doesn’t have a dedicated bing search button. Does that mean Microsoft are willing to give the HD2 a break on the specs? There is an extra home button/windows button so maybe that will become the Bing search button. Let’s hope the button doesn’t matter. I just can’t imagine buying this phone knowing it cant be upgraded.

"In a Twitter post, T-Mobile teases about the HTC HD2 stating that something will be announced next week. The company asks "Think you know the HTC HD2? Guess again..." Next week's announcement would coincide with Mobile World Congress, and we're guessing that the announcement will happen there."

My money is on a promise of an upgrade to Windows Mobile 7.

Has anyone typed "windows mobile 7" on google images? If so, I was wondering are these leaked images legit?

I believe those images are two years old. WM7 is supposed to be very zune hd like.
