HTC HD2 hacked again, gets a taste of Windows Phone 8
0. phoneArena posted on 30 Nov 2012, 07:22
The HTC HD2 – a smartphone released no less than three years ago, has been subjected to more than a few hacks since the day of its arrival. Although the device was launched running the now-obsolete Windows Mobile 6.5, developers have managed to flash several Windows Phone 7 flavors on it. Even an Android ROM based on Jelly Bean was developed earlier this year. But perhaps this most recent hack tops all of the above...

The HD2 is the phone I wont actually be selling, it may sit in its box and collect dust until I want to play with it every few months or so, but when I sell my AT&T Galaxy Note (1), I will always keep my HD2...
Its the device that outright REFUSES to DIE, and honestly, is HTC's greatest work! Even the new devices by HTC will rot and die away and the HD2 will still have love (in many cases, it still has more development going for it then any NATIVE Android/Windows Phone device), hell for people who know its value, its still $100-200 depending on the market, even the Evo 3D is now cheaper!...
That all being said, if this proof of concept ever got a stable birthing, I still wouldn't use it... tiles remind me of my bathroom, under the can, where i take a load off my mind... also, the bland coloring sucks... and I hate the waste of space that is the basis of the operating system...

It never dies as it has 2012-like specs.. Single core 1ghz processor was monster at that time.

Still That single core is a tough one, it'll knoc-out every single core of those quad-core processors, one by one...
The original SnapDragon S1 is a great chipset.

This was such an awesome device. Lol its funny tho, 4.3 then was unheard of and now my Note 2 makes it look like a tiny baby.

And so the HD2 lives on, simply incredible how its dev community has kept it going for so long.

My neighbour had one. But her baby smashed it. It's camera and video recording was great. But the OS was ridiculous.

I almost bought one of these when they were first introduced, if I had known how much modding this would have received I might have made the purchase. If memory serves, wasn't the is the first of the big screen phones?

Depends on what you mean by "big screen", but it was the first with a 4.3" display.

I think he means that at that time 4.3 was considered huge.

Exactly, at the time it was huge. Now it's just kinda average, but it was impressive for the time.

Loved the c00kie ROM and other 6.5.3 ROMS, they looked better than most Android ROMs today.

This phone was my first chance to test out Android and Windows Phone before actually getting an Android or Windows Phone device. And I fell in love with Windows Phone over Android but I still appreciate both OS's.

And yet so many Android phones still sit around with GB...

.....And back when Gingerbread was just released.... You might say..
And yet so many Android phones still sit around with FROYO..
And when Lime key pie 5.0 is out You will say...
And yet so many Android phones still sit around with ICS and JB..
Things changes fast. And Gingerbread is no doubt the most popular and compatible android version of all time. Best Android version??
