We have written earlier about TMoNews’s speculation that the HTC HD2 was coming in March, based on a Dark Project Training date on the 19th March. They have not managed to narrow down the date even further by laying their hands on this slide, which clearly shows the handset with a launch date of the 24th March.

I know some of our US readers are pretty impatient for the device to arrive, but it is clear that even in 6 weeks time the HTC HD2 will still be the best specified handset in the US.

Just recently — as in today – Verizon Wireless released their Windows Mobile 6.5 update for the Touchpro2, and now T-mobile’s update has leaked as well.  The ROM is an official, not hacked version, and should run happily on all T-Mobile Touch Pro2’s.

New in this ROM compared to the shipped ROM are:

• Windows Mobile 6.5
• HTC Sense 2.1
• Fix: Browser favorites in the TouchFLO menu are not user customizable / editable.
• Fix:TouchFLO SMS shows that there is one new message but there is not.
• Fix:HTTP links and phone numbers embedded in SMS messages are not actionable in the TouchFLO screen.
• Fix:The weather displayed in calendar events will show as New York as default and user must change the default location in the World Clock application in order to change
• Addition of Visual Voicemail Application
• Addition of Mobile Backup with Opt in and On Demand Sync option
• Client enhancement from Telenav to improve the billing
• Addition of Microsoft Application Store
• Addition of My Phone (Web based Mobile Backup Application)
• MSN Widgets
• Facebook
• UI Improvements (Today Screen, New Themes)
• MSN Mobile Messaging Improvements (Conversation View)
• Send key change from white to green
• End Key change from white to red
• Home Key change to Microsoft Flag

Certainly sounds worth the hard reset inevitable on install.

Arriving in the U.S. this spring, the HTC HD2 features a big, brilliant screen, blazing fast processor, and the celebrated HTC Sense™ experience

LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2010 – T-Mobile USA, Inc. and HTC today announced that HTC HD2ä  is expected to be available for the first time in the U.S. exclusively from T-Mobile USA this spring. With its industry-leading, high-resolution, 4.3-inch capacitive touch display and high-powered features, the ultrathin HTC HD2 phone delivers content in a sharper, brighter and richer way.

The HTC HD2 comes equipped with the 1GHz Snapdragon™ by Qualcomm mobile processor and utilizes T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network for a fast mobile data experience.

“T-Mobile and HTC have a long history of partnering to deliver innovative, cutting-edge products to T-Mobile customers,” said George Harrison, vice president, marketing product innovation, T-Mobile USA. “The HTC HD2 delivers a thin, sophisticated design and powerful features that we are excited to add to our dynamic smartphone lineup this spring.”

The HTC HD2 is the first Windows® phone with HTC Sense, a software experience focused on putting people at the center by making their phones work in a more simple, natural and personal way. With the HTC Sense experience, the HTC HD2 includes a variety of enhancements that expand and improve the overall phone experience. For example, the HTC HD2 includes a proximity sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call, and a light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display.

“Combining the intuitive user interface based on HTC Sense with an outstanding set of specifications and the powerful T-Mobile network, the HTC HD2 adds up to be not only an amazing device, but an amazing experience as well,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “The HTC HD2 is a Windows phone that has already been enthusiastically received in Europe and Asia, and we are excited to bring this highly anticipated device to the U.S., exclusively through T-Mobile USA.”

The HTC HD2 uses the first capacitive touch display on a Windows phone for the smoothest possible performance and to make viewing, zooming and resizing Web sites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a simple pinching motion. The large capacitive display makes it easy to read and reply to Outlook e-mails, edit a Word document or modify an Excel spreadsheet right from the HTC HD2. In addition, the HTC HD2 delivers advanced phone features including GPS functionality, a Web browser, and an advanced 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash for capturing images, even in dim conditions.
