Windows Phone 7 on HD2 update coming in March?
A Tuesday Twitter update aims to assuage rumors floating around the net regarding an HTC HD2 handset allegedly running the recently announced Windows Phone 7. Believed to originate from Microsoft itself, the Twitter update hints that more information on the handset running on the new OS may arrive sometime in March. WP7 will bring many upgrades compared to its predecessor, WM6.5, including multi-touch support and a Zune-like interface, among many other more modest improvements.
HTC had said last year that the HD2 is its only handset that will qualify for upgrading to the next-generation Windows Mobile operating system. This is likely due to its fast 1GHz CPU and high resolution capacitive touchscreen, both of which are necessary to meet Microsoft's requirements. Any updates won't appear until closer to the end of the year.

Will it matter?
By the time Windows Phone 7 comes out the HD2 will be over a year old. It is an amazing phone but by that time HTC will probably have the HD3 and their will be a better flagship phone.
