Can the HTC HD2 be upgradeable to the newly minted Windows 7 Phone Series? This is a question most HD2 owners would like to know but so far, there has been many conflicting reports regarding the likelihood of this happening. Now, there is a online petition set up by HD2Hacks asking for the HD2 community to support the upgrade. Although petitions doesn't really serve it's cause but signing it don't hurt much either. So show your support by signing the petition here and hope HTC take a serious look into this. Currently, 296 people have already shown their support in this petition. Won't you be the next one?

Well, technically, I don't think it's an issue.
But.. licensing may be an issue. Product is priced accordingly with the OS it offers in it. WP7 might be more expensive perhaps.. So you think HTC will allow upgrades if you pay a fee?

Dark side is free, not cheaper....
Anyway I always doubt the effectiveness of such petitions....as HTC did not commit to any Win7 upgrades when they were selling their HD2... so chances are very very slim...
And they would not want to cannibalise the sales of their HD3 or newer models...

not really meant to disappoint those having the HD2...
but just read a bad news, "HTC HD2 doesn't qualify for a Windows Phone 7 upgrade" from here, http://www.gsmarena....e-news-1479.php, the reason stated is kinda ridiculous so dunno if it's true.

Yes I am also disappointment after reading the news from both company MS & HTC knows
how to play people feeling when comes to HD2. But look on the positive side here , we still
have the fastest CPU 1 Ghz so still able to handle most of today application like watching
movies or even listen to music is good enough.
Looking forward to WM 7 to me is on my own feeling is not good enough for me to buying
another WM 7 hardware, reason is very simple since from day 1 been using WM 6 version
plus HTC GUI is already good enough or should I say far better than WM 7.
Very simple fact if I don't like the interface of HTC , can remove it or change to another
GUI it your choice. At the end of day is up to you as a end users choice weather good or
bad it is your own phone and it your own choice .
Can blame them HTC or MS or they want is to make profit without ever thinking end
users feeling or even how it feels .. It all comes down to $$$$ is the profit.
Only thing could do I can only join the dark side of HD2 .. ... .. Very dark days are
coming..... ..... .....
