Yeah, we are kind of bummed. Because HTC CEO Peter Chou has just confirmed with Forbes that the upcoming HTC HD2 will only be on Windows Mobile, and no Android port will be available for the massive smartphone. This means we'll have to wait just a little longer to see how the Android platform fares on the speedy 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Engadget - In an interview given to Forbes, HTC CEO Peter Chou spoke pretty candidly about the widespread desire for an Android version of the HD2, and says the phone won't be finagled thusly. "Technically, we could make the HD2 an Android phone, but I have to take care of Windows Mobile," said Chou, after which we imagine popped in a stick of Juicy Fruit and didn't offer to share any with the rest of the class. Of course, this doesn't rule out a handset with similar specifications to the HD2, like the Dragon, matching DROID's push toward Android 2.0 and modern hardware, but it seems to imply that at least it won't be called "HD2," and probably won't look much like it either.
But note the words - HTC could make the HD2 and Android device, but they aren't. So this is still an indication that there will be developers who will do their thing and port the Android build onto the HD2. Hop on over to check out the full story about the HD2 and its loyalty to Windws Mobile
