HTC HD2 Gets Beefier Specs for American Shores

t-mo-htc-hd2

Now that the official word from T-Mobile indicates they’re getting the HTC HD2 in the U.S., you’d think there are no more surprises left. But wait, there’s more! Aside from already having the most potent platform under the hood with a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, the U.S. version of the HD2 gets a few booster packs in the form of memory and storage. And we all know what more memory and storage can do for a phone, right?

So here’s the deal, according to WMPowerUser who has a link to the official HTC product page. ROM is getting a boost over the 512 MB offered in the European version, to the tune of 1 GB. RAM gets a subtle bump also — from 448 MB to 576 MB. Egads, I’ve owned full Windows UMPCs that only came with less memory than that! And T-Mobile won’t be including a measly 2 GB microSD card either. No, the local version will see a 16 GB microSD memory card included. Aye carumba!

Now if the price comes in around $200 to $300, I think these handsets will move faster than hotcakes in a local diner in the morning. And that will surely help Microsoft with their smartphone market share numbers. I’m also wondering if these Windows Mobile 6.5 units will then qualify for a WinMo 7 upgrade in the second half of the year. Surely, they’ll have the horsepower.
