    I guess everyone thinks the same, if HD2 doesn't qualify for the Windows Phone 7 upgrade, everyone will just go for IPhone 4G

                I'm never gonna buy a Windows Phone again! My HTC HD2 was very expensive. I cannot accept this! I hate Stupid Steve Ballmer. The iPhone is way better compared to the Windows Phone 7 because the firmware can be updated.

                  nice move Microsoft! this would definitely bring you down. they trying to make windows phone 7 like windows xp,vista and 7. having different kinds of OEM now they dont support HD2? poor people who bought HD2 its quite expensive now they stock to winows mobile 6.5 what a crap.

The HD2 will get... moreHigh Tech, no need to dream - just READ my post below! - Win CE 7 ain't gonna be possible due to lack of drivers, and other hardware components missing(not necessarily the stupid 5 buttom layout).. and THERE IS NOTHING XDA can do about IT!!! (not same as WM5.0 to WM6.5 update)

                          if u think u can, HOW ABOUT U PORT CURRENT "ZUNE HD" OS (based on earlier simpler WIN CE6) to HD2 and THEN will talk!!!????
                          oh wait - U CAN'T
                          u still wanna bet 100 US bucks??

                          "taker" please don't cry
                          Toshiba TG02 will get the upgrade, however!

                            I think Microsoft should make some basic changes in Windows Phone 7 to make it compatible with the expensive phones like HD2.

The HD2 will still be relavent then and into 2011..... Also you will get WM7 unofficially on the HD2 by a cooked ROM... They're in development right now. Just a matter of time before you see it on the HD2......

                                I don't even want that piece of @#$% on my phone, HTC's UI was big part of my decision to buy HD2, not giving that up for some strange Zune HD interface that is totally focussed on Facebook and XBox and other utterly pointless stuff

                                    I need a phone ASAP, my last KS20 broke and as a divoted WM user it was to be the HD2, now I'll be outdated in about 8 months. I'm not waiting for WP7, iphone is ridiculous, symbian is poor so I can see how Android will shoot to no 1 this year - count me in for a nexus one.
