According to WMPU The Telstra HTC HD2 has travelled all the way across to USA and is now being used on AT&T. The user did flash the Telstra ROM with a custom ROM available via xda-developers. check out his impressions of the device : xda-developers

WMPU has just announced that a trusted source has revealed to them that the HTC Obsession ( see here for specs ) was initially planed to be launched during June 2010 and since it was device meant to be used with WM7 it got delayed because the OS is still being fine tweaked by Microsoft. It is also rumored that Unlike previous Diamonds the device will not be coming in a CDMA version, following poor sales of the last Diamond. So do you buy this Rumor will HTC Obsession be the HTC Diamond3 ?

HTC Obsession

HTC is one of the most successful OEM partner for WM. So they will definitely have WM7 device out the door as soon as they can ( as the rumors suggest this might be some time in October 2010 ). HTC is working with Microsoft on Sense UI integration for Windows Mobile 7 and chances are we can see the device running WM7 Business Edition during MWC2010. There is a good chance T-Mobile will adopt this puppy.

LG Apollo

The first Seven device that is expected to launch is the LG Apollo. This high end device will pack some punch with features like 1280×720 screen, 10 megapixel camera, hd recording, etc. Remember the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8X50A this device might ship with that processor under the hood, this is expected to be seen on devices late in to 2010 and now LG’s Claim that they will have WM7 device out in Sep 2010 seems to be true ( we did believe you back then promise ) Apparently Sprint and Verizon will be carrying the LG Apollo. It is also said that LG has a team at Redmond working closely with Microsoft to make everything as perfect as humanly possible.
