    THE HD2 has specs that match the LG WinPh7, infact its screen is even better

    so what the 1GB ram is needed?

    ridiculous if the OS can't run with anything less than 1GB

        Does anyone have tissues? HD2 ''loyal'' owners are crying. 700$ for a phone that can't be used with one hand comfortably. LOL

          And oh btw, the iphone 2g from 3 years ago can still upgrade to 4.0. It might not get a 100% upgrade on the hardware side, but on the software side it can. Iphone rules.

                      By the time Win7 series will step into market, new bread of users and devices will start kicking in as well and if I will be running a company, I would take few steps to catch in those new generation with new and better devices for obviously, better sales for my company. If you can read between lines, it says "Don't dream high with these tech stuffs. They might get higher than you."

                      Another reason I can think of behind this step is HD2 is not loved by everyone, it is big, batteries runs out of juice fast, no hardware keyboard (not much of business class), and too expensive to buy as entertainment (toy) device so obviously HTC sees no reason to keep it in production after (or during) 8 months. They must be bringing something else and would promote that new device instead of old one.

                      Because they can't hush the current users away so they sugar-coat their reason by putting it all on Microsoft and Microsoft wants HTC so they accept that bar and announce the rejection with first thing they spot to blame.

                      It's all good business. I like that. Sorry HighTech, I know your HD2 is a good device but My X2 will be same good. :)

                        hidzami, 02 Mar 2010i hope microsoft have a better reason for this..They don't want to piss off the OEM more than what they did already with those strict requirement and uniformity.

                          Conspiracy theory. They knew it all along and put 5 button so it can't get update to WM7.

                            hahaha, HD2 owners are crying like bunch of babies who wet their diapers. lol. For 700$ you can get a nice Toshiba laptop. HTC is a rip off

                              hahahahahaha, so sad HD2 owners, the most hyped phone in the market that costs an arm and a leg, pathetic camera with pink spot in the images, even after update. No shutter key, flash taken from a toy,loud speaker very annoying. 700$ for 4.3 inches screen, that's it! N97 with cheaper hardware, sold more units then HD2. LMAO

                                HD2 doesn't have a hardware search... Therefore no WM7 simple as that
