UPDATE: Video demo of WP7 Series running on the HTC HD2 added above.
UPDATE 2: Another video of the HD2 running Windows Phone 7 Series added after the jump!
For those of you that didn’t purchase a T-Mobile HD2 because of the upgrade possibilities or lack of them to Windows Phone 7 Series, it looks like you might be changing your mind. We all knew this was going to happen at some point, but I don’t think any of us expected it this soon. It looks like a some Russian guys have managed to port a “real” functional ROM of Windows Phone 7 on the hugely popular HTC HD2. One user over at HTCPedia has posted screenshots which show the HTC HD2 running an early build of Windows Phone 7 Series OS. Even with Microsoft crushing our hopes of a WP7 upgrade for the HD2, there’s nothing stopping these hackers. Almost everything is said to be working, including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth etc. But there are some problems with the graphic driver which is said to be choppy/laggy in this build. A Beta release of this ROM is expected to be released soon. Hit the jump for a couple of more screenshots of the HD2 running a WP7 Series ROM. Sound off in the comments!
