Thankfully, official HTC ROMs have been leaked and made their way onto the Internet, enabling users of the HTC HD7 to run 'Mango' right now, one day after a similar ROM file was leaked for the HTC 7 Mozart.

Folks at WMPoweruser have unearthed a schematic image of HTC’s enthusiastically anticipated HD7 (release date confirmed with price). HTC HD7 is the true successor of the Windows Mobile 6.5-based HD2.
