HTC HD2 Gets Android, Ubuntu Options

HTC's last major Windows Mobile 6.5 based phone is the mighty HD2 which boasts of great specs and hardware firepower. If you always thought the OS on the stock phone (Windows Mobile) was just not enough to squeeze the max out of the hardware, it's time you head towards the XDA -Developers forum where highly smart folks have managed to port Ubuntu and Android for the handset.

That's right. The HTC HD2 can now run Android as well as Ubuntu with the official XDA Developers blog confirming that early builds of the OSes are working fine on HD2s.




As always, if you happen to own an HD2, you are free to try installing these builds however, the risk of bricking your phone remains although that risk has been lowered to some extent nowadays. But then, flashing a phone is always a tricky business.
