Early Bird gets the HTC HD2

We all know that the superstar Windows Mobile device, the HTC HD2, will be launched March 24th at T-Mobile. But a lucky Wallmart customer was able to buy the handset early from the Walmart store in Vancouver, Washington. The store had 4 units and sold at least the one to the gentleman you will meet in the video below. Before everyone starts to make a drive over to their local Walmart to see if they can pry an HD2 loose from the discounter, this is probably one of those times when the stars aligned with the planets perfectly. In other words, someone screwed up at this particular store and you're not likely to find another person working in the electronics section who will put the HD2 in your cart before the 24th no matter how much of a tantrum you make. To prove that the transaction took place, the lucky buyer made a YouTube video of the unboxing. If you ask us, with his luck, he should be heading to his local casino.
