HTC HD2 Confirmed for the US In Early 2010 [HTC HD2 Ready to Ship in Europe and Asia]

The HTC HD2 is undoubtedly the best Windows Phone announced so far. It’s not enough to make Windows Mobile 6.5 popular but the handset is definitely worth buying. And HTC decided to officially confirm today that the phone is on its way to U.S. customers. But the HD2 is taking the longer route as it will hit American consumers only in early 2010 as previously speculated.

In the mean time the phone is ready to ship in various European and Asian markets but you already knew that didn’t you? What’s a little more exciting is that HTC and Microsoft have announced together that the HD2 will be available in the United States with a “major U.S. carrier in early 2010.” Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO, had this to say about the phone:

Working with HTC, we’ve delivered great phones that help customers connect to the people and information they care about, wherever they are. The HTC HD2 shows what’s possible through our close partnership with HTC and it breaks new ground for Windows phones by delivering a beautiful multi-touch screen that people will love.

The phone is truly remarkable and it could be an even more reliable phone once Windows Mobile 7 becomes official. HTC’s official press releases focuses on a few key factors of the phone like the impressive 4.3-inch capacitive touchscrcreen, the 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, the multitouch support, the 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, the 5-megapixel camera and the HTC Sense user interface ported to this Windows Mobile phone. But we have already covered those in detail, didn’t we?

The handset comes with a bunch of neat features that are supposed to help you stay connected with your friends and family easier and a lot faster. The HD2 keeps tabs of all your conversations with every single person in your contacts list. Calls, SMS messages, Facebook updates and emails are available in a single snapshot for every different person, which takes communication to the next level. HTC has also introduced a new Twitter client, HTC Peep, which you’ll be able to test extensively as soon as you buy the phone.

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile is also mentioned. Microsoft’s App Store is still young, but you should find plenty of useful apps inside already if you’re not completely happy with all the apps and features of the HD2.

So what do you say folks, HTC HD2 or Motorola Droid?
