It seems there are all kinds of benefits to launching late. The HTC HD2 ROM for T-Mobile US has leaked onto the internet, and the packages contained in there shows a veritable power house of entertainment software.

To start with, the device will finally support the Amazon music store, meaning music can be purchased directly from the device. Next, the ereader application we recently showed from China will also make it to the US version of the device. 

The smartphone will also come bundled with games like Prince of Persia, Ferrari GT, Tetris and Guitar Hero.  Its not known of these will simply be trials or full versions however.

More interesting additions are Mobi-TV support, Slacker Radio and the presence of a BlockBuster app, and and finally, the smartphone will also come with Swype pre-installed.

Existing HTC HD2 owners can quench their seething jealousy by downloading the ROM from XDA-Developers here.
