Before the release of the HD2, I was lucky enough to get a play on it, and I loved it! You could actually see the effect that the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor had on making Windows mobile 6.5 run like it should do. Everything on it ran smoothly, but it made me feel very annoyed because I had only recently got the Touch Diamond 2. GRR! Although my Diamond 2 looked nicer (in my eyes anyhow), the HD2 had the power that just made the OS run effortlessly, plus it had the better specs to back it up and would make the recently announced WM7 run like a dream.
So, you HD2 users where happy, smugly sat waiting for their new OS to be officially announced and made available for them to enjoy and show off.
It seems with every new announcement about Windows Mobile 7, that this would still be the case until, as it turned out, that the HD2 had too many hardware buttons to make it work! Apparently, 5 buttons is just too many, and Microsoft is aiming at 3 buttons and no more it seems.
All the rumours before the announcement were stating that WM7 phones would need to have a home key, a Windows key, a back key, plus the call and end call keys. However, this just shows how you can’t put too much faith into rumours – they are just rumours after all.
Looking at some of the Windows Mobile 7 phones that have just been announced, they do just have the home, Windows and back keys, so it shouldn’t be that hard to attach the call functions from the screen to the hardware buttons on the device.
However I’m sure that certain Windows fans out there will hack the WM7 OS to make it work on the HD2 (this is not an encouragement to you lot, just an understanding that it will probably happen). And it’s just not the same to have a hacked version as it is to have the official product.
