I am not a WinMo fan. If you’ve been reading PhoneDog for any period of time, you already know that. I’ve tried embracing this OS (which, for an Apple girl, isn’t an easy task), to no avail. But if there was ever a device that would make me give the Microsoft mobile platform another shot, the HD2 would be it.

I have to hand it to HTC — This highly anticipated follow-up to the Touch HD is one sexy handset. And today, the phone manufacturer (which is debuting the device for Europe and Taiwan) has officially confirmed that it’s arriving here early next year (Q1 2010), and that it will launch on a major carrier.

No confirmation yet on that other rumor, which predicts that the carrier in question will be T-Mobile. But the buzz on the Winmo-6.5-packin’, Sense UI-sportin’, Snapdragon phone landing on Magenta is pretty strong. If this turns out to be true, are you picking it up? (And if you’re not already on T-Mobile, would you switch to get this phone?) Inquiring minds want to know.
