The amazing hardware (for its time) has allowed hackers to boot Android, Linux, and now Windows Phone 7. The developers haven't stopped there, and have most recently discovered a way to partition an SD card in such a way as to dual-boot both Android and Windows Phone 7. Hit the link for a video tutorial on the process of setting up the environment. &nbsp;As always, do so at your own risk.</p>

It's still amazing hardware; the CPU and GPU is still being used on the HD7 (first gen Snapdragon with Adreno 200).

My trusty HD2 still has a place of honor next to my HD7. I really can't get myself to sell the phone even though I never use it anymore!

Heh, I lost my first HD2 within a month. Just got my second one, and it's still a very nice phone. Rocking Android Gingerbread on it. :D

Which rom do you use for Gingerbread? I find that recently the XDA forums have gotten kind of chaotic with 30 different Roms released, different install methods, etc. I know that finding a Rom you like has half the fun, but it's gotten slightly ridiculous.

while I would love to try both, (mainly android), it still remains a non-simple task, and w/o a backup phone I'm scared to try it.

I'm using tytung's Gingerbread NAND ROM. It's pretty much stock, just the way I like it. I agree on how crazy it is to have so many ROMs up in the span of a few weeks.
