HTC HD2 to get Windows Mobile 7 upgrade?

The HTC HD2, recently released overseas, has so many features and specs that its every move is watched intently by cellphone fans in the States and abroad. According to MSMobiles, there is one more reason for lusting after this phone: Windows Mobile 7. The site says that they have received information that as soon as the boys in Redmond announce Windows Mobile 7, HTC will follow suit and announce when the OS will be available on the HD2. Note that the upgrade will come directly from the Taiwan based manufacturer. The HTC HD2 is be the first model that is able to meet the chassis requirements for Windows Mobile 7 as laid out by Microsoft. One of the requirements is support for multi-touch, no problem for the handset which is the first Windows Mobile phone to be equipped with a capacitive touchscreen (which measures a massive 4.3 inches). With the huge amount of attention that the HD2 is receiving, even in the face of a few Android heavyweights, it is expected that the phone will be launched in the states through T-Mobile sometime in Q1.
