Htc hd2

Anyone using it? I've had it for a few days now and I love it. Been hacking the crap out of it and it runs awesome. Battery life is quite good and the screen is absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad I chose this over the iPhone.

Two co-workers of mine have it.
Still uses WinMo (though 6.5) with HTC UI, it looks nice and seems pretty snappy. Downside is WinMo, it still hangs the same way when doing certain things, still have to go into the deeper menus which are horrible to browse through.

I am unable to modify phones as they are for business, so they get stuck with the stock ROM. One of them is not 100% happy with it, but she wanted a regular keyboard and had to settle with this one.

Verizone is supposed to be coming out with the HTC incredible & nexus one. The incredible will have Sense UI though and the specs are better than the Nexus One. While Sprint is coming out with the HTC Evo. The specs of the Evo coming out will be blowing everything out of the market including the capability of the 4G network. But in my area Verizon's coverage is greater than Sprints

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of WM6.5, but the UI they placed over it does a decent job to helping you forget that its a winmo phone. I think with a few hacks, its a great phone. Straight out of the box its just ok. The ability to tweak and modify it definitely was the appeal to me. There are folks out there that have developed some great apps/drivers that make the phone go much faster than out of the box.

I assume you have been over to XDA-developers?
Coming from iPhone, WinMo and finally on Android, attempting (as good as it may be) to use the HD2 just lacks what others have made so easy to use.

yeah, i've been using the apps over at xda-dev. while the hd2 isn't the best phone out there, it certainly beats my old blackberry and i've been pretty happy with it so far. i really dig the ability to create a wifi network with the phone. on the downside, the facebook app for winmo just blows. im using the mobile site more than the app for facebook.
