Check these photos if you don’t believe me
See these photos of my HTC HD2 (well actually my brother-in-law’s HD2) running Android Froyo 2.2. Pretty much everything is working, and very nicely too. Check my previous posts on this topic for links to the Android builds if you want to try it for yourself. The builds are not being punted as completely stable, but I am using it as my primary phone and so far so good. Best of all is that Android runs from the SD card in the phone, so no damage to the Windows Mobile on the phone. I am running jmztaylor’s dual-boot utility which lets me choose to boot either Windows or Android at startup. Pretty nifty.
As far as I know only Google’s own Nexus One runs Froyo 2.2, which puts the HD2 in a very select group of phones. And with its hardware specs (1GHz processor, 4.3 inch screen), the HD2 running Android is a hard act to beat. Don’t know why HTC hasn’t released an Android upgrade for the phone. They will sell a zillion of them. Should call it the HDa.
