Just found this out on WinMo.nl website and thought it was worthy of a share. What you see here is a HTC HD2 running one of the early builds of Windows Phone 7 Series. According to the site, the build was working nice and smooth and it was shown running on HD2 to the audience in Barcelona present at MWC.
Keep in mind though that such images can easily be Photoshopped to look like the real deal when it is not. HTC HD2 by all means meets all the specs which Microsoft has made mandatory for a Windows Phone 7 Series device including a 1Ghz processor, over 512MB of RAM, a large multitouch capacitive touchscreen and so on. The only hardware requirement which HD2 is missing is the dedicated Bing search button for the device. Currently though, neither Microsoft nor HTC has denied the possibility of Windows Phone OS 7.0 upgrade for HTC HD2. This is what the official Windows Phone account on twitter said about this possible upgrade.
to everyone asking about HD2 & Windows Phone 7 Series; nothing announced yet but there may be info coming next month
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unveiled the next generation of Windows phones called the Windows Phone 7 Series in his keynote address at the Mobile World Congress 2010. Windows Phone 7 Series refers to the next-generation Windows phones running Windows Phone OS 7.0.

I know MS wants much more control over its UI with Series 7 but would we as users be able to change the tile colors and fonts; or maybe the tile sizes. How about rectangles instead of squares?
Basically I am alittle concerned that every phone maker and user will turn turn into drones ala iPhone zombie? I like some diversity.

It wouldn't be smart to get negative publicity on the first phone Microsoft puts out there. So my guess is that if there's a Win 7 in the future, then the HD2 will be able to download it. They wouldn't want that many unhappy and angry customers turned off to their products for ever! You only get to make a first impression once and they better make it a good one in the storm of phones that are coming.
