Technology, Hd2 | featured news

I installed Android on my HD2 a couple weeks ago. Initially, I thought I would continue to use Windows Mobile 6.5 as my main OS, but just hop into Android once in a while for games and apps not available in WM.

I'm finally taking the Android plunge. Ever since I bought the HD2, I had been keeping track of the development of the Android port for it. Why didn’t I just get an Android phone? Well, at the time, the HD2 was the first smartphone with a 1GHz processor and a 4.3” screen. I also liked the HTC Sense UI and had been using Windows Mobile since I started using smartphones. I was looking more for an alternative mobile OS for additional apps and games.

Ever since I saw the specs on HTC's HD2 several months ago, I wanted to get it - 1GHz processor, 5MP camera, and 4.3" screen. You see, my contract with T-Mobile then was done, so I was looking for a new phone to replace my ancient T-Mobile MDA. I had that phone for four years which, in cell phone years, is a lifetime.
