According to as yet unconfirmed rumours the owners of the HTC HD2 (formerly known as the HTC Leo) can look forward to a free upgrade to the Windows Mobile 7 OS when WinMo 7 becomes available next year.

Expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress to be held in February 2010, whilst the WinMo 7 upgrade is yet to be confirmed it seems wholly viable as the HTC HD2 has the distinction of being the first phone to meet all the hardware requirements laid done by Microsoft for its new iteration Windows Mobile – specifically meeting with MS’s Chassis 1 specifications.

Whilst information concerning the purported free WinMo 7 HTC HD2 is pretty space as at the time of writing, MsMobiles additionally reports that as such upgrade will be an “official upgrade from HTC, not a hacked ROM from PPCGeeks or Xda-dev” though the site does no qualify this by offering any indication as to the source of this information. Still, being that the HTC HD2 is an enormously popular phone, added to the fact that from a hardware standpoint its ‘WinMo 7 ready’ and taking the (again unconfirmed) rumours concerning the HTC HD2 being due to hit T-Mobile in the US sometime in Q1 2010 into account there’s little doubt that such an upgrade would very much work in favour of HTC’s 4.3” already highly desirable capacitive touchscreen smartphone.

We’ll keep you posted, of course. In the meantime you can gain the full low down concerning the HTC HD2 here and view our HTC HD2 gallery here.

      Please, also keep us posted on developments with the HTC HD2 pink aura problem with the camera of these phones. Will HTC stop selling them until the problem is fixed? Or will those with the pink aura defect get their units replaced?

    2. Not heard of this – can you please update us with details and we’ll look into it for you. As for HTC stopping selling the HD2, it ain’t going to happen.
