During the Windows 7 Enterprise Launch earlier this week, I was able to take a sneak peek at the upcoming HTC HD 2 and though I was not allowed to take pictures or video, they allowed me to play around with it for a while. This is the largest screen I've ever seen in a mobile phone -- larger than the first Touch HD and even the iPod Touch. Despite that, HTC was still able to keep it slim at 11mm (as slim as the Nokia E71). The HTC Sense UI is also a beauty and runs on top of WinMo 6.5 so you don't actually see any semblance of the OS in the interface. The Touch HD2 is also Windows Mobile 7 compatible so when that OS comes out, you can have it readily upgraded. Reps from HTC Philippines tell me the Touch HD2 will be out in the public by December or early January next year with an estimated retail price of around Php49,000. HTC Philippines is running a promo with their latest line of mobile phones. HTC models included in the promo are the HTC Touch HD, Touch Pro, Touch 3G and Touch Viva.
