HTC HD2 runs Windows RT, postpones trip to afterlife yet again

[Preston786]

HTC's HD2 may have begun life as just another Windows Mobile 6.5 handset, but its surprisingly hardy internals enable it to run almost any mobile OS going. The latest software to appear on the three-year-old device is Windows RT, which was jammed onto the system by a developer called Cotulla -- who previously put Windows Phone 7 on the same unit. While we imagine it's not that comfortable to use on the HD2's 4.3-inch screen, we can imagine some superheroes are now scouring eBay for a similarly immortal smartphone.

That is bloody amazing.

nah Cotulla hasn't made the ROM public as yet I guess he needs to tweak it some more

he's a superb Dev tho his WP7 and 7.5 Builds are as close to stock as you would expect HTC themselves to release

as soon as its available I'll try it and let you know how it goes ... on a another note the HD2 was genesis first

smartphone over 4 inches with Capacitive touch running WinMo 6.5 you could imagine people said that was too

big back then ....

FYI this is what it looks like now Running WP8
