The March 24th launch date for the US variant of the HTC HD2 is closing in and we’re just days away from seeing the king of all Windows Mobile phones hitting the streets in all its big-screened glory. That also means T-Mobile stores across the country have already begun to stock HD2 inventory. For most of you, it’s all about playing the waiting game from here on in. For one lucky HD2 fan, though, the wait is over – JDMiPhoner just posted a video to YouTube, showing off his very own T-Mobile HD2.
According to JDMiPhoner, he managed to snag the HTC HD2 at a Walmart in Vancouver, WA. And, in the spirit of showing off his shiny new toy, he posted videos online to walk us through the unboxing, the initial setup, the voice command feature, and the bundled Blockbuster streaming video and mobile TV apps. The Blockbuster app was a no-go at the time the video was recorded, but we do get a good look at the mobile TV app and smooth live TV playback.
The sales reps at the Walmart apparently didn’t know that they weren’t allowed to sell this particular handset until later this week, so don’t go in to your local Walmart expecting to pick up a pre-release TMo HD2.
Now, the question is: how many of you out there are willing to pull the trigger on a brand new Windows Mobile smartphone – albeit the best Windows Mobile handset to ever come to market – knowing full well that Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series platform will never be made available to your HD2? Does the possibility of an HTC HD3 with Windows Phone 7 Series pre-loaded make you think twice about going with T-Mobile’s HD2?
