Have you been waiting for the Nexus One Google Phone? Maybe you’ve been waiting for AT&T to get it together and offer an Android phone. Well it looks like you can actually have your cake and eat it too here as the word is from Tnkgrl (for carriers tried) is that this phone is unlocked and can be used on AT&T, although only the measly EDGE network. If you have to have 3G, then you could also use this phone on T-Mobile. Also notable was the snappy and fast feel.

On the downside Tnkgrl noted that the phone didn’t have multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps, no dedicated camera key, flash is weak, and low light performance passed with a decent ranking.

HTC HD2 Coming to T-Mobile USA this Spring

HTC has promised the HTC HD2 will be released in the U.S. early next year, but hasn't revealed which wireless carrier(s) will be offering it. Nevertheless, numerous leaks and unconfirmed reports indicate that T-Mobile USA will be getting this very high-end Windows phone.

The latest bit of evidence is a leaked ROM that is supposedly for this carrier's version of the HD2. This contains quite a number of system apps with the prefix TMOUS -- short for T-Mobile USA.
