The HTC roadmap that was leaked some time back revealed that HTC is set to release three Windows Mobile based handsets in the first half of 2010, the HTC Photon, HTC Trophy and HTC Tera. None of these mentioned devices can be graded as high end devices. The roadmap, thus brought somewhat disappointment to HTC fans.
The upcoming version 2.0.1 ROM for HTC HD2 has revealed, that HTC HD2 could finally be heading to the United States on T-Mobile in the first half of 2010. The files and folders dumped from .nbh file has definite references in the form of a folder named “TMOUS”, which points to a T-Mobile US version of the said device. HTC HD2 was released in Europe and Asia in October of this year for a retail price of approx. US $800 for the unlocked version.
Some units of HTC HD2 were shipped with camera problem in which a pink hue spot was noticed in the center of all the snaps taken from the 5 megapixel autofocus camera on board HTC HD2. HTC first confirmed it as an hardware issue but then later they found out that it was infact a software issue, rather than a hardware one. And now HTC has rolled out a software update which fixes this problem on all the defected handsets.
It looks like HTC is set to release a mini variant of HD2 in the first half of 2010. This news comes out through HTC portfolio which has been leaked online via XDA, hinting at a number of Windows Mobile and Android based devices for next year.
A guy by the name of rodrigofd at modaco forums has managed to port HTC HD2 Rom, complete with HTC Sense 2.5 on his Samsung Omnia II. It’s still a work in progress but he has stated that he is going to release to the Rom soon for Omnia II users once he is done with full testing. You can see the Rom running with HTC Sense 2.5 on Omnia II in the video attached below.
Last month, we saw the launch of large variety of GSM-based Windows phones like HTC HD2, running Windows Mobile 6.5. However, we didn't see many Windows phones coming in for CDMA users on carriers like Verizon as some of the Android phones like Motorola Droid. And now after much delay, CDMA version of Samsung Omnia II has finally landed today on Verizon Wireless. The Omnia II has a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display which has now pretty much become a standard for Samsung's high-end smartphones.
A camera defect was earlier reported by the early adopters of HTC HD2 in which a pink hue spot was noticed in the centre of all the pictures taken from the 5 MP autofocus camera on HTC HD2. HTC earlier had confirmed it as a hardware issue and asked the effected owners to contact their reseller to exchange the defected handset with a new one. The pinkish hue spot in question can be seen clearly in the screenshot attached below.
A source closed to MSMobiles has confirmed that HTC HD2 will be receiving an official free upgrade to Windows Mobile 7 once it is out in Q4 2010. This makes sense because HD2 is the first phone which meets all the hardware chassis requirements laid out by Microsoft for a phone which will be powered by Windows Mobile 7, including support for multi-touch through its massive 4.3’’ capacitive display.
