I posted this question in the HD2 pre-release thread but this was near the end of the thread. Since you guys are HD2 owners, I'd like to see what you think.

Do you think that T-Mobile considers the HD2 its true flagship? Sprint has the Evo 4G, which is arguably the best device in the world right now. AT&T has the iPhone and Verizon has the Droid (for now.) T-Mobile isn't exactly advertising Windows Mobile here, but the features of the phone. You're seeing advertisements for the Barnes & Noble e-reader, MobiTV, but not for Windows Mobile. It's almost like they're treating the HD2 as a glorified dumbphone here.

Of course, it's the flagship.  What else would it be?  The My Touch should move on over--I noticed the Saturday Night Live gang are gone from T-Mobile's home page.  It's now an ad for family plans now.

I think it is. Because it appeals to the crowd that (involuntarily) missed out on the Nexus 1. Then there is also the "smart phone noob" crowd that will be solely attracted to the screen and HD'2 design while the snappy browsing will not go unnoticed as well. Even the "but it's winmo" crowd is intrigued.

Winmo is a step behind Android, IMO. But Sense gives it a chance to catch up. What you get from Android out of the box, it's scattered across the web for winmo, it's a challenge just to match.

If you are used to android phones or the iphone, once you get over the "new phone feeling", you'll quickly feel "trapped" within HD2's home screen.

That's why I installed SPB's mobile shell. While it's still buggy and not as intuitive as it could be, it's has enormous potential. Should the new version iron these issues out and integrate real time content deeper, it would totally change the experience with the phone. As TMO increases the 3G bandwidth up to 10 MBit/s, this phone will thrive, for me at least.

So I do think it is a flagship phone.

I think it is for this year until the holidays come. im pretty sure t-mobile didnt know it wasnt going to be able to upgrade for windows mobile 7 series. but this phone its really good compared to any other phone on t-mobile people might hate windows mobile but they pay respects to the hd2 for what it is. people really taking 2003 windows mobile era to whats windows mobile today its wayy different. buggy every device its buggy now and days

Has anyone noticed the size of this thing, it was bound to be a flagship device, few months from now it will be replaced by a android device...
