HTC HD2 is expected to be displayed during a T-Mobile event on March 16. The set is supposed to be launched on March 24 for about $199 with a new two-year contract.
The phone has features like 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, WiFi, 3G, high-resolution 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, GPS, a microSD slot and Blockbuster On Demand integration. This handset will however only run Windows Mobile 6.5 and it is most likely that it won’t ever be able to upgrade to the intriguing Windows Phone 7 series as well.
But a the same time if we put aside the negativities then this is expected to be one of the best smartphones ever and also one of the most powerful one an individual can get from a T-Mobile store. The additional advantage the phone will offer its users include pre-loaded Transformers movies.

The Motorola Backflip which came out this weekend for AT&T looked like a standard mid-range Android device. According to the critics it is completely bush league.
While the Backflip is loaded with AT&T’s bloatware, the default Google is completely replaced with Yahoo. AT&T is doing business so it cannot be blamed for blindly copying Android but you can blame them for not allowing you to delete those carrier apps or install apps that don’t come from the Android Market.
According to Phandroid, programs cannot be installed from other app stores even if an individual puts them into his microSD card while it’s connected to his computer. This could be AT&T approach to ensure that the Backflip Android experience isn’t tainted by bad apps but it goes directly against what the company said it planned to do with the operating system.
Last year the AT&T Mobility’s CEO, Ralph de la Vega opined that, the Android is liked as an operating system on its own, however the company wants to make sure that the company as well as the customers have the option to put applications on that device that are not just Google applications. Therefore when the G1 came out and T-Mobile launched it, it’s primarily a Google phone.
The company wants to give customers the choice of other applications on that device and not just the same Google applications.
Eric Zemen of Phonescoop added to the scene by mentioning on his Twitter stream that the MotoBlur on his Backflip gave him the option to set up myFaves at a time when myFaves is an exclusive calling feature of T-Mobile.

Deutsche Telekom CFO, Timotheus Hoettges told Bloomberg News that he sees no need for further consolidation of the U.S. mobile-phone market.
He mentioned that there are four national players in the U.S. market for 300 million households, whereas in Europe, there are 350 million households with close to 70 operators.
Deutsche Telekom’s current focus in the U.S. is on expanding its 3G network. It is investing $3.5 billion euros in the network in 2009. He said that the mobile data market in the US is booming and they must participate in that now.
On the Issue of 4G networks, there is a possibility that T-mobile could provide funding in exchange for access to ClearWire’s 4G network. Verizon and AT&T are already buliding independent 4G networks.
