The HTC HD7 will be heading to T-Mobile and received a code name “Schubert”. The device is going to launch globally. Recently, O2 Germany and Vodafone announced the device arrival to their sides. According to the European leaks, the HTC HD7 will be launch on October along the side of WP7. Meanwhile, there are no words on launching date for US. But, we’re expecting its arrival very soon.

T-Mobile’s website is offering the HTC HD2, which runs Window’s Mobile under the beautiful HTC Sense UI, and features a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, along with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood, for only $99.99 today. And, just to reiterate the important part: today only. There’s also no word on whether or not this goes for people upgrading, as obviously T-Mobile would love to focus on new customers.

And, considering we already know that HTC have already sold out of this bad-boy once or twice in the past, you should act quickly with this one. One hundred dollars for one of the best smartphones on the market, even compared to the competition, is a pretty monumental day. Of course, if you do happen to order your very own HD2 from the website, let us know. We love to hear that our readers are out there, buying phones!

This update for HTC HD2 HTC Sense enhances the stability of the music application so your enjoyment of your music is no longer interrupted by the player behaving unexpectedly.

Clove is selling the device for £275 without VAT, and £323.17 with it, if you prefer. We have to applaud them for pricing it so cheaply, especially when you compare it to the £200 difference between it and the HD2. Considering the latter has a 1Ghz processor and 4.3-inch screen, we can understand why the 3.2-inch screen and 600MHz processor of the HD Mini would make it less costly.

You can order the phone starting right now if you want. If you’re curious, the £275 equals about $418, so you could probably find the HD Mini unlocked for about the same price. Would we say that the HD2 might be a better purchase, even if it is more expensive? Sure. But, that large screen isn’t for everyone, so we’d have to suggest maybe trying them both out before going the purchase route.

We’re hearing reports that the HD2 is sold out again, and right now, T-Mobile USA doesn’t know when stock will be back in a position of any worth. We’re seriously shocked at this. We know the device is easily the best Windows Mobile handset available, and yes, the physical manufacturing of the handset is beyond compare (kind of), but this is blowing our minds. Sold out, twice, in less than two weeks. That’s impressive, no matter how you shake a stick at it.

Here’s a quote from a T-Mobile USA representative about the existence of the HD2:

The HD2 has been very popular and is currently sold out in many locations. We are working as quickly as we can to secure additional inventory. We will post updates here on when additional inventory will be available.

Some Retail stores may still have inventory. If you live near a T-Mobile location, you can contact them to see if they have inventory remaining.Click here for a list of T-Mobile locations. We suggest you contact stores via phone before visiting to see if they have inventory on hand. If they do not have inventory, they should be able to take your name and notify you when they have stock in stores.

We will continue to keep you updated on the life expectancy of the device, and let you know as soon as we hear that you can order it from their website again.

The HTC HD2 is one of those rare devices that achieves two things at once. First, it proves that with the right hardware and software tweaks, any mobile Operating System can become useful. And second, that beautiful technology will always prevail. There’s no arguing that the HD2 is a beautiful piece of tech. That gorgeous 4.3-inch TFT LCD screen, running Sense UI, makes the whole thing a piece of eye candy. And, we’re suckers for candy.

There’s a bit of bad news, though. It’s looking like T-Mobile USA brick-and-mortar stores are still on the low-end of the devices. In fact, many of them are still sold-out. We put in a few calls to the local stores in our area, and they’ve confirmed this. There’s no word yet, either, one when they could get their inventory stocked. But, if we hear anything, we’ll bring it to your attention. Then again, you could always try RadioShack.

Thanks to a team over in Russia (yes, Russia), we’re getting video proof that the ROM is indeed hacked onto the current generation HD2. The good news doesn’t stop there, though. Everything seems to be working just fine: GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Which, if you’re familiar with porting ROMs at all, those are some of the things that can get lost in the translation. But, as the videos are showing off, everything is working, and that’s great news. Though, we can definitely see some lag, which probably has everything to do with the graphics driver. No easy fix to that, but what’s a little lag when you think about the fact that you have Windows Phone 7 Series on your HD2. Check out the videos to see it for yourself. The Russian-based team is saying that they should have this ready to go soon. That’s definitely before this holiday season, which means thanks to the developers out there, we might see Windows Phone 7 Series hit the market long before Microsoft intended it to. Thumbs up.

We wanted to give these reports a day to stew, as we were wondering if T-Mobile USA would come out and say that they had extra stock somewhere, but that didn’t happen. In fact, on T-Mobile USA’s website, where you can pick up the handset for $199.99 on a new 2-year contract, it’s listed as sold out. We’re fans of the device, and we know that if you’ve read the review, you are too, but it would seem that a complete selling out of the handset is pretty big for the company. Unless, of course, their online storefront only managed to wrangle in 15 handsets. Then it might not be that big of a deal.

However, the report also goes on to say that most every T-Mobile USA store has also sold out. That’s telling us that the HD2 was a smash-hit, and that despite its inability to update to Windows Phone 7 Series later this year (plus, it’s not the HD2′s brother, the EVO 4G), that’s not stopping anyone from sticking to the current generation software for fantastic hardware. Kudos to HTC and T-Mobile then, for striking up some fire under, what many would consider, an already out-dated handset. Now, if T-Mobile USA would go ahead and release some numbers, that would be greatly appreciated.
