T-Mobile says a bird in the bush worth more than one in the hand

There is no denying the strong demand for the HTC HD2. More than once, the unit has been sold out at T-Mobile, which we last informed you about the middle of last month. Now that the phone is back in stock online and at corporate owned stores, the carrier is being downright miserly. T-Mobile customers seeking to upgrade from their current model to the HD2 are being turned away in favor of customers leaving other operators to sign a new contract with T-Mobile. Now, we have a very good idea that a new account is worth more to the carrier than a current customer is worth. Once demand for the device cools off though, we are sure that the restrictions will end. But for now, T-Mobile would rather reward the customers of other carriers.
