Soon after the news which confirmed the official upgrade path of Windows Mobile 7 for HTC HD2, folks over at XDA have dug deep and found out some references made to Windows Mobile 7 in the latest HTC Sense 2.5 Build 1922. This version of HTC Sense is from the leaked version of T-Mobile US 2.01 ROM for HTC HD2.
Two new Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ROMs for HTC HD2 has been released which features the new HTC Sense version 2.5.19222911.0. This version of HTC Sense supports the new Documents Tab and Landscape mode for Sense interface. It is based on ROM version 2.01 for T-Mobile US HTC HD2 which was leaked last week.
HTC Sense for Windows Mobile keeps getting better and better with every new version. The latest 2.5.1921 Build of HTC Sense (aka Manila and TouchFLO 3D) brings a new “Documents Tab” which lets you quickly browse through your documents stored in “\My Documents” location right from the beautiful Sense interface. The best thing about this add-in is that it supports almost all popular major formats like .txt, .doc, .docx and .pdf.
We informed you about the new and upcoming T-Mobile US ROM for HTC HD2, which hinted towards a possible US release of the said device. And now it seems like the ROM has been leaked, and is available for download. Beware though as this ROM is for T-Mobile US only and it may have issues working properly with carriers outside United States.
A guy by the name of rodrigofd at modaco forums has managed to port HTC HD2 Rom, complete with HTC Sense 2.5 on his Samsung Omnia II. It’s still a work in progress but he has stated that he is going to release to the Rom soon for Omnia II users once he is done with full testing. You can see the Rom running with HTC Sense 2.5 on Omnia II in the video attached below.
Folks over at XDA-Developers have managed to hack the popular HTC Sense interface, which ships with HTC HD2, to make it compatible to run in landscape mode. One complain that you would have often heard from users running HTC Sense on Windows phones is the lack of support in landscape mode. With this hack, you can now run the popular interface in landscape mode. Its not perfect yet, and has some alignment issues, but it is still very much usable. One can expect more improvements in future releases.
Did you ever wish to have HTC Sense –like home screen with widgets from HTC Hero and HTC HD2 right on your iPhone? SmartScreen App is set to bring such an experience on your iPhone and iPod touch that will allow informational widgets to be placed and used on the lock screen.
HTC HD2 is probably the most awaited Windows phone of this fall! The two major features which gives it an edge over its contemporary popular iPhone 3GS is the high resolution 4.3 inch 800 x 480 capacitive display, and a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash. From all the video demos that we have seen so far, it looks like HTC has finally got a killer phone which is going to prove itself equal, if not better to iPhone 3GS.
