By now, regular TFTS readers may already know that T-Mobile is going to have a special event on March 16th where they’ll take the wraps off the new HTC HD2. You should also know that the stylish smartphone comes packed with Windows Mobile 6.5 and that it’s probably the last phone with Windows Mobile “Classic” to ever make an impression on us. The only thing we were not sure up until now was an official release date, although we heard rumors that it could be launched on March 24 and if it’s getting Microsoft’s latest mobile OS.

According to a “very close T-Mobile source” talking to the folks from Laptop Magazine (check the link at the bottom), HTC HD2 will indeed be available starting March 24 and if we had any doubts it gets Windows Phone 7, we’re now being told/confirmed that it won’t.

As previously reported, the new HTC HD2 will be available on T-Mobile for $199 if you put your signature on a two year contract, or $499 off-contract.

So do you guys think it’s worthy to grab the HTC HD2 knowing that it won’t get Windows Phone 7 OS? Would it make you feel like living in the past?
