HTC HD2: The best of three worlds

Yah I know it’s probably too late to review such as a phone but I’ll do it anyway coz it’s that incredible. When it came out it was a monster of a phone and I think it still is. It however ran the old windows mobile 6.5. The windows OS wasn’t so bad on it and due its fast processor (the fastest at the time) browsing the web and swiping through the phone was zippy. But as time moved by developers thought it wasn’t wise to leave all that hardware go to wasn’t and so they came up with the right operating system(s) for it. The HD2 was hacked to run android and impressively it can now run Gingerbread. Well, as awesome as that was, that wasn’t all and it was again hacked to run the latest windows, windows phone 7. I just hope the Mango update hits it too. Again that wasn’t all. It then became possible to run both android and Windows phone 7 on the same SD card. That means you can actually triple boot three operating systems. And for those who care Meego can also work here.
The phone packs a large 4.3 inch capacitive screen. There is 448 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM. The processor is a 1GHz Scorpion processor and there is the usual GPS, Wi-Fi and HSPA. The camera is decent at 5 megapixels with dual LED flash. The battery however is only 1230mAh and that worries me.
The cool thing about this phone is that it has decent features that can compete with the best smartphones at this moment but since it came out much earlier its cheaper. Then you get to replace your old OS with the best operating systems at the moment.
