[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kinsago:
Right. I'll start off by stating that with so many builds out there this is a very difficult question to answer. Most people will say 'Get a build and try it out'and I agree. However, for what it's worth...

- Phone, texting et al - YES!!!

- Music and Video et al - YES!!!

- Wifi - Yes. Think it's only 802.11G but works a treat for me

- Bluetooth - not had any problems. Don't have iPod so can't test.

- Camera with flash works fine. Video camera works with flash. Don't use vid cam but did a 5 second test and playback from camera worked fine.

- I use GPS with google maps/navigation. Takes a while to lock on at first but I've never lost my lock, I can turn GPS off for 5-10 mins and it will reaquire a lock very quickly. Google maps and navigation is one of the best 'sat-navs' I've used.

- Haven't yet found an android 'feature' which doesn't work. I don't use moving wallpapers for battery conservation BUT they do work. HTC Sense works as does HTC Hub.

-All hardware buttons work for me. It would seem from threads I've read that the buttons wear out with extended use (I'm not going into the WinMo/Android button argument tho). I've had my HD2 for about 14months and I've been using android as a daily build for nearly half that, I've never had a hardware button problem (touch wood).

- I don't use skype and don't know anyone who does but the program does start and I could login with a free account. I couldn't however check the camera. Check the forums for people who use skype.

-PC doesn't have bluetooth so couldn't check sharing over bluetooth. I couldn't get sharing over USB to work HOWEVER this doesn't mean that it doesn't work. I have had builds in the past that have worked. At the time I was using ubuntu and it's easier to check than in windows (IMHO).

-WiFi router works. At time of writing this my mobile signal was patchy but it connected fine. (Windows 7) and reported an internet connection was available. If BT/USB doesn't work for whatever reason then at least this does :)

-Flash works fine. Unfortunatly, it means that flash popups also work. I don't use it very often as I don't browse flash sites on my mobile.

- Office tools do exist but they are paid for apps and as such I can't comment. There is a free office viewer available.

So, apart from internet sharing over BT or USB, everything else works for me. I'm using RAFDROID HD 1.0 - NAND VERSION (link below) on a UK 512mb HD2 with a 1Gb data.img on a 8Gb SD Card (Gives me just over 1Gb for apps and the remaining 6.5-7Gb for music, vids, pics so on so forth. The build is stable with the only hiccup being a slight lag due to the data.img being on SD card not NAND. If you go the NAND route then I would choose a build that allows you to use an external data.img or similar unless you get a TMOUS HD2 which have a 1Gb NAND (lucky devils :))

It must be asked...? Why get an HD2 just for android now, when so many good devices with superior hardware (larger mem, AMOLED screens etc) are around. Not knocking the HD2, I love mine, but just curious.

Notable things that DON'T work at the moment is 720p recording. The devs are working on it though. But, as I said, I don't use it. I also can't get my HD2 to make a decent coffee...

Just want to reiterate that not everybody likes the same build. I've only been using this build for about a day so can't say that it is foolproof or 100% stable. If you are going to get an HD2 for android then be prepared to swap builds, flash ROMS and Radios, HSPL and MAGLDR where necessary. It's not really difficult but it can be time consuming,

I think that's about it, hope this helps
