HTC HD2 gets itself a promo video and a website
We might have to wait until next year to score the HTC HD2 Stateside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all enjoy this jazzy little promo video showing off the highlights of Sense. But is the music more reminiscent of Donkey Kong Country or Iko Iko by the Belle Stars? We ask the hard-hitting questions here at Engadget. Video after the break, website at the read link.

Entelligence: The HTC HD2 and the future of Windows Mobile
Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he’ll explore where our industry is and where it’s going — on both micro and macro levels — with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.
A few columns ago, I wrote how folks shouldn’t dismiss Windows Mobile. This week, Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6.5 and it’s further proof that this OS is very much a serious contender in the mobile OS platform wars. What makes Windows Mobile 6.5 work isn’t so much the OS per se, but rather the Windows Phones that are the basis for the ecosystem.
Despite Steve Ballmer himself apologizing for the delay of Window Mobile 7 a few days ago, there’s a lot in WinMo 6.5 that Microsoft should be proud of. Overall the OS itself has been tweaked a lot for performance — I’ve tried devices that were running WM 6.1 and were upgraded to 6.5 and there’s a dramatic difference in speed. Microsoft has also worked hard to make the new OS much more finger friendly, with UI elements that really required a stylus in the past much more usable with a finger instead. There’s also some nice integration with new services such at the marketplace for mobile applications and MyPhone synchronization.
That’s all well and good, but it’s one device that I’ve had the chance to use for just a few minutes that’s really affirmed my view of Windows Mobile viability, and it has me very excited about the platform. It’s the new standard for Windows Phones and it’s pretty much the device that every other Windows-powered phone is going to need to live up to. It’s called the HTC HD2 (code named Leo) and it’s a game changer in my opinion.

HTC HD2 to arrive Stateside in early 2010 — huzzah!
Snap, looks like that painful feeling in our gut was just from that late-night Mickey’s sesh after all. HTC’s Peter Chou told SlashGear today that the monstrous, amazing HTC HD2 will be coming to the United States of America sometime in Q1 of 2010. That’s not too far off, but let’s be honest — it’s gonna be a long wait.
