The HTC HD2 remains one of the most hacker friendly devices out there. We’ve already seen this Windows Mobile phone running Windows Phone 7, MeeGo as well as various versions of Android. Like that’s not enough, eager hackers from the XDA-Developers community are now trying to cram the latest version of Google’s mobile platform on it. And what do you know, most things are already working, including mobile data, calls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SMS, video playback and the USB Mass Storage mode. Some others like camera, browser, app installation and Google search are still in the “work in progress” phase, but something tells us these will soon be fixed, as well.
Since I don’t have the HD2, I couldn’t try this myself, but if you do own one – you can check it out. After all, we assume you also have another (main) phone to use in case something goes wrong.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
