Rumor: HTC Touch HD2 to run Android

The HTC Touch HD was a splash when released in the UK. Plenty of U.S.-based consumers anxiously awaited its release on American shores, only to have their hopes dashed when the company announced that it wouldn’t be able to bring it to the U.S. The Touch HD is set for a refresh, and it may come in the form of an Android phone.
As always, treat this as a rumor until confirmed as fact, but there’s talk that HTC will make the Touch HD sequel run Android rather than Windows Mobile. UK tech source Register Hardware reports that a tipster informed them that HTC is opting to load Android on the next Touch HD, sprucing the device up with a slightly faster 628MHz Qualcomm chip to go along with the 3.8in touchscreen. No pricing or launch date has been set according to the source.
If true, the new HD would be quite the Android phone. The original device came with a 400×800 resolution and 5 megapixel camera among other features that would be nice to have with Sense UI and Android capabilities. Maybe this time around we’ll get lucky and be able to purchase the device stateside.
Wow, looks really nice!
