I really hope you are right, however I don't think that having 5 buttons will qualify the HD2 for WP7 upgradability.

MS stressed the importance of the same user experience and 3 button interface on all WP7 phones. I initially thought that the HD2 will not qualify when seeing the press conference. The HD2 may have the required hardware specifications for running WP7, however it is lacking the 3 button user interface. Personally I don't care about the button layout but I don't see the point of MS stressing out the importance of the same 3 button interface on all WP7 devices and then allowing an official HD2 WP7 upgrade. It's kinda stupid if this is just a matter of button layout, but I see their point. They want the big market mainstream Iphone clientel to buy WP7 phones, not just

a few tech savy rom flashing nerds on xda-developers.
[HD2 General] vladimir2989:
to b honest i dont think i matters surly if WM7 CAN work on HD2 it will b ported on to it by some nice ppl from XDA b4 it will b released.. or as soon as someone get a hold of a copy... so official or not we shuld get it...

on the other side as time goes by im debating IF i will actually want it, i will most certainty give it a go, but if it going to b as lock down as iPoop i may stick with last standing WinMo OS where i can get all the freedom i want, without having to jailbreak it or whatever it will b called if it will b the case...

iphone and WebOS, BB and alike are not actual pocket pc as WM is now, they just advanced phones... and i hope WM7 is not going to become that...

posted today on engadged.com:

The fate of the mighty HTC HD2 seems to be getting murkier by the minute: Microsoft UK VP Alex Reeve said last week that an upgrade to Windows Phone 7 Series might be left up to hardware partners, but now Natasha Kwan, General Manager for Microsoft's Asia Pacific Mobile Communications Business says the 1GHz handset "doesn't qualify because it doesn't have the three buttons" required by WP7. Making matters even less clear, we asked Microsoft's Director of Consumer Experiences Aaron Woodman about the HD2 directly on The Engadget Show, and he politely declined to tell us about the device's upgradability, and said that WP7's final required specs would be revealed at MIX '10. We'll be honest: we're taking all this confusion to mean that Microsoft hasn't quite figured out how to say the HD2 is at a dead end just before it launches on T-Mobile US, but hey -- maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised at MIX.

This is likely the real reason, and it's not some sort of useful phone hardware that's missing. They probably require some sort of encryption hardware so the OS is hell to hack on. (Like the ZuneHD is a pain to try and hack).

From the sounds of it, W7PS is all show and no go anyway... what's up with all the talk of limited multitasking, and not having access to native APIs?

I have download some CHS support ROMs, all of them have some add ons to support Chinese input, such as fronts and input, but none of them has a China in region choose, these can make some of the Chinese program not work well because there has many garbled.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddy0071:
something weird happened on my phone when I installed the SuperD 1.9.3 rom. I've never had this problem before, so see if you can help me. I installed Chompsms and Acontacts amongst a variety of other apps. Well, I was texting earlier, when my phone froze. No biggy, I popped the battery out, placed it back in, and turned it on. Well I got the green boxes in place of the the logos for Chomp and Acontacts. I clicked on them and it said that the apps weren't installed? um, ok. I have aps2sd with ext3, so I figure something must have corrupted the file, no biggy, I'll just redownload it. So I go to the market, and it says the program is installed. I click on the program to try to reinstall, and the bottom where it says "open, uninstall" are greyed out. So the app isn't installed, but it is, so I can't uninstall and re-install. Anyone, help please? I really use these 2 apps!:confused::confused::confused::(:confused::confused::confused:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
It also sounds like your marketdb file is still there too. I've had this problem with Backup for root users. It'll import the marketdb but sometimes it won't import the APK's. So that leaves you with no apps and the market seeing that you already have it. I'm trying to find where the program is pulling that file, and i'll let you know. If anyone else knows where it's at feel free to jump in.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:

While Im still looking for that file, you could also do the following:

Use switchrom and save your rom
flash a new rom
download the apks that are giving you problems (if its not too many)
use linda to save the apks to your SD card
switchrom back to the old rom
download and use linda to install the apks you saved.

It's not pretty but it'll get the job done.

[HD2 General] Earthbrain:
Yes....I have already read the article (and several discussions from this forum) that WM7 will not be upgradable for the HD2 and guess what....

I will get the HD2 when it come out from T-mobile this month or next month.

Why buy the new phone with WM7 when I already have so many applications/games for the WM6? If I wait for the new WM7, there won't be any good applications for awhile. What good will that do for me?

So who in the USA with T-mobile is still going to buy the HD2 from T-mobile even if it will not be upgradable to WM7?
[HD2 General] adrian_nene16:

[HD2 General] 10332007:
I am not with T-Mo but if the price is right I will be for a no contract stint with the HD2. If the price is 100 - 200 short of the Telstra version I will probably keep ATT and import it.

I like WM7, but dont care about it as its not here and I need a nice new phone.

[HD2 General] Smartmob:

[HD2 General] paalkr:
Hi!

I totally agree with the others in this thread. I just bought the HD2 knowing that there will not be a WM7 upgrade, at least not official. There will most likely take a while before we see any interesting apps for WM7 anyway, and by that time (maybe in a couple of years from now), its time to switch phone. For the moment I'm very happy with WM 6.5.x, especially the amount of available software that runs perfectly. The multimedia, communication and web experience of the HD2 are excellent, thanks to outstanding hardware and good value added software like Sense 2.5 and the Opera browser. I guess that the 1st generation of WM7 (OS and devices) will have some bugs and glitches, and I don't plan to be a beta tester for Microsoft.

Regards,

PK
[HD2 General] XDA mark:
Please learn me how to find these good applications and games. I have been on the HD2 since December and have not found so many. Bejeweled 2 and Teeter are the only 2 games of good quality. The Marketplace is dead, so really tell me where all those apps and games are! :D

I really do hope you will answer me, this is not a flame. IMO the problem of the HD2 is the lack of apps and games, but whatever.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EFMax:
I live in an area where my 3G signal strength is often 1 bar or below and is weak but my non 3G signal strength is 4 bars and strong.

Is there an app that I can use to set up when 3G cuts out and reverts to normal GSM signal.. I know I can set 3G to auto switch but it only cuts in when it feels like and often this means my phone is limbo with no 3G signal and no auto option to switch over to GSM and will often just drop my signal mid call at home.. or am I asking too much.. cheers..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Leddy:
When your 3G signal becomes weak it should automatically switch to GSM. If switching between the two is causing your phone to drop calls you can lock your phone to GSM only by changing it via the Comm Manager, tap on "change phone settings" and then "Band" on the bottom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EFMax:

[G1 General] esmith972:
Guys I just wanted to give you a forewarning about T-Mobile's business practices.

I apologize if anyone takes offense but I am simply posting my experience with T-Mobile. I understand I signed a 2 year contract but where I am moving I have horrible service and I am not asking for a sympathy boat either, but if you don't agree with the way T-Mobile handled this, please feel free to upvote this.

tl;dr - T-Mobile's map shows 4+ bars where I'm moving; we (my fiancee and I) get 2... outside and that doesn't include the many dropped calls we get either. I never got a dropped call until I went to the new location. I have to pay $300 in cancellation fees because they wouldn't budge because their map is supposedly "right."

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/b5php/tmobile_trying_to_screw_over_their_own_customer/

If you guys are willing, please upvote. I'd really appreciate it.
[G1 General] G1ForFun:
Once your locked in....its pretty hard to get out.
[G1 General] esmith972:
Yeah I'm seeing that now. I honestly loved the service, but now that I am moving, it's no good to me. :(
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Contracts blow. Stupidest thing you can ever do is lock yourself into a phone contract, especially when there is the possibility of moving, and the FACT that in a few months, some OTHER carrier will probably offer a better deal. Might as well avail yourself to the chance!

It is ALWAYS better to buy your phone outright.

Note: I suspect that eventually, the US carriers will be forced out of their contract practices.... we in CANADA even already have a new NATIONAL carrier that DOES NOT OFFER contracts.
[G1 General] shadowch31:
I've never understood contracts personally, I hate being tied into anything just because they give you a sparkly new phone. That's why I'm thankful T-mobile have 30 day rolling sim only deals, I can get huge discounts after a year on a newer phone upgrade, get 350 minutes (any network) unlimited text and free unlimited internet (thank you rewards) for £15 a month and can walk away with only 30 days notice anytime.

Thank god for the sim only plan :D
[G1 General] SmokeyJBluntz:
thats why you get used phones and no contract.. plus being on an employee plan is always nice :P
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You don't need to get a used phone... the carrier will still sell you the phone without contract, just at the "full price". You can also buy your phone from a STORE rather than from the carrier.

Note: The way the contract works, you end up actually paying SIGNIFICANTLY MORE for the phone through the contract than just buying the thing from a store for full price.
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
The problem is that the full price of these devices is quite high. A lot of people can only afford a decent phone by getting the contract.

Another problem I had when looking at the g1 initially was a lack of good data plans on non-contract deals.
[G1 General] Gary13579:
The people that are telling you it's cheaper to buy your phone outright... this really isn't the case for the G1. At launch, I purchased my G1 for $179 in 2 year contract. Unlocked would have cost $399. I needed phone service regardless, so the fact that I was paying for service is moot.

Now, when I moved, I knew I wasn't going to still get service, and didn't want to stick with T-Mobile. So I paid the $200 to get out of contract. That brings the total cost of the phone up to $379. That's pretty damn close to the $399 price point I would have paid for an unlocked phone from the start ;).

To the OP, your only real choice is to live with it or pay the termination fees. Read every contract you sign carefully. Service outage isn't a reason to break the contract. It sucks, but that's US carriers for you.
[G1 General] esmith972:
I appreciate all of the responses but again, why pay for a service I cannot use? I had no intention of moving until after the contract; things changed, so I had no option. I'll just be glad when contracts like this are over with worldwide; cell phones could get away with murder if they wanted to. BLEH I say, haha.

We will see how things turn out with the FCC and FTC. Maybe my complaint will push them over the barrier and stop advertising fake signal readings? Roughly 5 phones report all the same exact thing, but their map is always right apparently.

BBB will probably just tell me to deal with it, so we will see on that too.

Again, thanks guys.
[G1 General] ohgood:
have you upgraded your radio ?

have you tried using EDGE instead ?

you seem more upset with the contract than the service, and one of those two might help things.

if you're at 2 bars with edge, ya, that's pretty bad. 2 on 3g is about average to bounce around at from my experience. 2 - 4 on 3g can mean a person standing between me and the tower.

:) good luck
[G1 General] OG:
That's why I hate contracts. You get a $600 phone for $150, but you're stuck with it for 2 years. And you envy evr1 who gets a new phone while you're stuck with yours and then in 2 years when you get a settle phone, a new one comes out a month later.
