i currently own a 3gs, ive had iphone since the 2g and i am kinda bored of it,
i am seriously thinking of getting an htc hd2 ! but i am worried that i wont be able to upgrade to wm7 !!
ive ben googeling ! and am kinda lost ! some say it will be supported others dont !
i dont want to buy a phone that i cant update ! id rather buy the android galaxy S or even upgrade to 4g! altho i think the 4g release was disappointing ! 5 years using the same OS with minor changes ! its crappy dont u think? its becoming dull and irritating ! lol please help:)
Officially speaking, the HD2 (and all other current Windows Mobile handsets) will not have a WP7 upgrade. (source)

This is because it does not meet certain requirements that Windows Phone 7 handsets must have, including specific hard buttons.

However it might be hacked onto it, unofficially. (source)
thank you bassam, i appreciate it !
i hope you dont mind giving me your advice ! ! do you think HD2 is a good idea?
ive used my iphone mainly for silly games ! nothing fancy am a retro guy hehehe i play pac man and tetris :P and some cool apps and mainly for music i got used to its library but am bored of it like hell !

i liked the hd2 for the following:
"classy appearance" although i think the galaxy S is a better phone OS wise and the fact that its up datable better in processing and screen brightness ! but it looks like crap !

"huge high resolution screen
" i imagine myself watching all those series that i failed to finish coz i never had time to heheheh ! watching everything everywhere :P

"more customizable then iphone" iphone is fun application wise games and stuff ! but what can a winterboard change? a couple of icons and fonts? thats silly i want something with a bit of challenge heheh

"pretty good camera compared to galaxy and iphone"


and plus all that its kind if cheap in the lebanse market !

amhaz is selling it brand new with no warranty for 550$! !
while the galaxy s is ebtween 700 and 750$ !!
i have a white 3gs official unlock that i can sell now for 500$ the least !

give me your advice mister bassam :)
The HD2 has already an Android rom OS in case you liked the samsung galaxy S OS!
Also once the WM7 beta roms will hit XdA they will surelly adapt it for HD2
3 months later
I was thinking of getting an HTC HD2 soon, but since it cannot officially be updated to WP7 I think I'll pass. But what phone does support WP7 and any clues on its price in Lebanon?

The HTC HD7, HTC mozart, and HTC Trophy have wp7, but the last time i asked microage they told me that they haven't got them yet.
@Kassem There's a guy called Mhammad Sakr(completely legit) who's selling the HD7 for $850 last time I checked (10 days ago).
wow! That's too much to spend on a damn phone! I'd rather wait for the prices to drop... Let's see where this price is going to be next July.

Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciated.
