HTC HD2 Phone Run MeeGo OS | MeeGo OS | HTC ANDROID | ANDROID GINGERBREAD

The HTC HD2 amazes us until this day. Released late 2009 with Windows Mobile 6.5 on-board, the 4.3-inch HTC HD2 has since been ported to run Windows 7, Android 2.2 Froyo and even Android Gingerbread just recently.

HTC HD2 goes from Android Gingerbread to MeeGO 1.1

While we were very sure it's next endeavor would have been Android Honeycomb, developer Steve Troughton-Smith surprised us by running MeeGo 1.1 on the handset, technically making it the first smartphone with MeeGo we can get our hands on.

So with Nokia not planning to release a MeeGo based smartphone until later in 2011, the HTC HD2 may have very well earned a new lease on life. Running a 1GHz processor, the powerful HTC HD2 with MeeGo 1.1 on board isn't set for prime time release yet however as there are a couple of bugs that need to be ironed out first.

For starters, the touchscreen doesn't function yet, making it quite impractical and cumbersome to use at the moment. Secondly, its graphics acceleration and WiFi are still being fixed. Nevertheless, Steve has managed to load some apps onto the device via a shell over the USB so things look quite hopeful for the MeeGo-based HTC HD2 when the first stable release is ready.
