The HTC HD2 To Be Forgotten and Others Along With It

If you can remember the HTC HD2 blog post we posted quite a while ago, you should know that it's for sure a slick and fast device. The HD2 even today is one of the best Windows Mobile devices out there because of its design, speed, and just usability in general.

But if you can also recall our blog post on the new alleged Windows Phone 7 Series, which is going to be very familiar in looks to the Microsoft Zune.

It was rumored for quite a while that the HD2 will be receiving the upgrade to Windows Phone 7 series. But as of right now, that has changed.

The head of consumer marketing for Windows Phone UK, Oded Ran, informed Pocket-lint about the following:

We are proud of the Windows Phone experience we introduced with Windows Mobile 6.5 and we will continue to partner closely with mobile networks and phone manufacturers to support and invest in the platform.

Which was said in an exclusive interview with them.

But also, Ran said to them:

We've received many questions about the upgradability of HTC HD2 and we currently do not have plans to update the HTC HD2 to Windows Phone 7 Series.

I'm sure there will be ways to great around that, but hopefully, they''ll reconsider that decision. To kick all these HD2 users out, who have payed a lot of money for this device, is just such a shame.

I can understand where they are coming from in the terms of support, but you have to think about it, the HD2 will not be the only device not supported this new phone operating system.

Of course it would be nice if they would allow everyone to upgrade, but of course like Microsoft always does, they want you to buy new hardware, or in this case, a brand new phone.
