First, reread the title… no, you are not crazy and neither am I.  For once (or so it seems) a US bound headset is actually going to be better than that of it’s brother from across the pond.  In this case, we are talking about the HTC HD2.  The T-Mobile bound version will be getting a nice jump in ROM (from 512 MB to 1 GB), a jump in RAM (from 448 MB to 576 MB) and will come with a 16GB microSD card, all powered by that wonderful 1 GHz Snapdragon processor.  So yes, it does sound like this will be fast.  As a side note, it should also be mentioned that the T-Mobile USA version may be the only one to get Windows Mobile 7.0, or just Seven (depending on what Microsoft calls it).  If Windows Mobile were my thing, I would be all over it, I guess I could make an exception for this HTC Sense laden, monster piece of hardware.  Larger image after the break and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Looks like T-Mobile still has a few more surprises in store for us. According to the guys over at WMPowerUser, “reliable sources” have claimed that T-Mobile and AT&T are supposedly getting the HTC Obsession in the form of the HTC Diamond3 with its 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 1Ghz processor, 4GB of onboard memory, and HD video-capable 5-megapixel camera. WMPowerUser also reports that the HTC Obsession (Diamond3) will not come with Windows Mobile 6.5, in fact the smartphone will ship with Windows Mobile 7 and is expected for a June 2010 release.

But here is the kicker. T-Mobile USA has already officially confirmed that they will be the exclusive carrier for the HTC HD2 in the U.S, slated for release this Spring of 2010. The HTC HD2 is also rumored to receive the Windows Mobile 7 update when its available. Will T-Mobile carry both of these high-end smartphones? We sure hope so!

While we await the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 one week from today, those looking to score the HTC HD2 can expect to enjoy whatever goodness Windows Mobile 7 brings. Windows Mobile 7 isn’t expected to drop until November but after a false Twitter alarm, HTC has confirmed the HTC HD2 will receive the free update. Little is known about Windows Mobile 7 at this point, but Microsoft hopefully has put some serious muscle behind it as the competition has all but stolen the media attention. We’ll know more next month when WM7 is introduced at Mobile World Congress.

Those TouchPro2 and Dash3G customers eagerly awaiting the release of 6.5 next Wednesday can take a look at this list sent over to me last night highlighting some of the expected upgrades:

On January 20, the Windows Mobile 6.5 software upgrade will be available for customers with the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 and Dash 3G. Customers can obtain the update on T-Mobile.com at www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/.
Windows Mobile 6.5 includes some exciting enhancements, such as:
Windows Marketplace for Mobile
With Windows Marketplace for Mobile, customers can choose from a large library of mobile applications to purchase and download either through their phones or from their PCs.
Applications include games, business tools, and social networking.
Customers can check ratings and read reviews before they download an application.
Microsoft My Phone
Microsoft My Phone allows customers to easily store their phone’s data to a password protected Microsoft Web site for free.
Customers can back up their phone automatically, including SMS, MMS, and memory card files, to a secure Microsoft server.
Customers can share photos on their favorite social networking sites, access their contacts, text messages, and more online.
Customers can recover data from a lost phone and remotely wipe their phone if needed.
An active Windows Live account is required for this feature.
Visual Voicemail
Mobile Backup
The Windows Mobile 6.5 software update will not be sent to existing customers over-the-air. All customers must download the update at www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/. Existing customers will be notified of the update via a free T-Mobile SMS beginning January 20.

We knew Twitter was becoming a heavy source for all kinds of information, but breaking news from the tech world hadn’t yet gone that way. Don’t tell that to the folks from HTC Russia who stated through Twitter, the HTC HD2 (expected to drop on T-Mobile sometime next year) is going to be the only HTC “communicator” phone to receive the Windows Mobile 7 update. That’s good and all, but for the T-Mobile faithful, how about some Windows Mobile 6.5 love for devices that are actually being sold today?

That’s really all there is to say here…the guys at WMExperts say this is a likely scenario as the WM7 required specs are all met by the HTC HD2.
