Yeah, this is basically the HTC HD2 with a few tweaks; that's not a bad thing, mind you, because the HD2 was a hell of a Windows Phone - the best one I've ever used in fact. I really like the kickstand concept, because a 4.3 inch screen is pretty good for watching a movie on a plane. The 720p HD video capture is also a nice perk!

I have an HD2, and this would be a welcome upgrade. The only problem is the T-Mobile exclusivity. The way their service is where I live, there's no chance I'm going to switch carriers.

My HD2 on AT&T is an imported Telstra version from Australia with a custom ROM to work in the US.

I'm still going to get a WP7 device, but unless I find out that something similar is going to be possible for WP7 devices, I'm going to be sad. :(

Just monitor Expansys or other similar sites and buy one when they will become available.
In most of the European Countries sell a device only tied to a Carrier would be illegal......as Apple learnt whe they tried to do it.

Does anybody has an exploded picture of the device? I am curious to see if the SD card slot is still there......
