Grab the sizzling hot HTC HD2 for less than a C-Note from Amazon

The long awaited, drool producing HTC HD2 has just been launched via T-Mobile for $199.99 with a 2 year contract, and already you can pick up the handset for just $99.99 through Amazon. Of course, your John Hancock on a 2 year contract is still required. The only decision now is yours. Do you go ahead and purchase the HD2 or do you sit and drool over the next batch of highly desirable handsets? The introduction of the HTC EVO 4G has certainly produced the same reaction in cellphone fanatics as the HD2 did when first brought to our attention as the Leo. But that is all in the future. Right now you can pick up one of the most anticipated handsets in history, be the King of your neighborhood, impress the wife (Honey, look at those 4.3 inches) and get change back from a $100 bill-even if its only a penny.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with WinMo. It gets the job done. Just because MS didn't pretty it up to win over the "oh it looks pretty so it must be good" crowd isn't a reason to bash it. And of even more imprtance is the fact that HTC slapped Sense on it and it looks absolutely awesome. You'd be hard pressed to find a stock WinMo icon without digging very deeply for it. If I wasn't firmly in the Android camp and in love with my Droid I would seriously consider buying this phone.

I agree to you on this one. I do not see any down side from using WinMo 6.5 instead of Androids. The WinMo haters mostly come from WinMo 6.1, but this HD2 is got the 6.5 with HTC Sense UI. It is more friendly and reliable. I am not sure people who say they hate WinMo even had a chance using one of them or simply just follow the crowd and bash WinMo consistently.

Dude, this is the most intelligent comment on the WM situation I've heard in a very long time.You are absolutely right, and yes, with HTC Sense interface it's not only functonal, but also beautiful. I'll add to that my concern that the "oh it looks pretty so it must be good" crowd, unfortunately, has too much influence on the direction of the smartphone market, and the upcoming Windows Phone 7, from what we see so far, might be a little too dumbed down in order to please an average consumer (i.e., no cut and paste - unacceptable for a professional user).

I was so tempted to get this, and then Microsoft had to announce WP7. I guess i'm going another 8 months with my MT3G before my upgrade, and that's hoping T-Mobile gets a WP7 phone this year.

I would rather wait until 4G gets more mature then to jump into 4G. HD2 seems a nice phone to use while waiting.

Thats true 4g does need to grow but even using tha EVO 4G on 3g still makes all other phones uncompareable to it..that is for now.

Saw someone in one of my classes with one of these and I wasn't sure it it was an HD2. Later on we were at a meeting and the owner just handed it to me to record video of what was going on, its crazy light! And the video recording seemed to be pretty good too. Man, I'd love one of these.
