HTC HD2 model rumored with keyboard
The HTC HD2 may soon be available with a side-sliding keyboard. Or so says Xmoo, a ROM collector, who has found evidence for such a HD2 version.
Just as with Conflipper finding evidence of potentially new HTC Windows Phones, Xmoo has found evidence in the registry keys of a new HD2 ROM that support a slide-out QWERTY device.
This is purely in the speculation/rumor stages. However, adding a keyboard to the HD2 is an interesting concept. If this develops into reality, you can only hope HTC finds a way to keep the increase in thickness the keyboard will bring to a minimum.

HD2 with a physical keyboard... seems more like TP3 territory.

4 THE LUV OF GOD COME 2 SPRINT & LET IT RUN ANDROID! i officially hate wm on my tp2.
My TP2 has become terribly buggy of late even after a full reset and running minimal programs like Google Maps off the expansion card.
The real issue is about twice per day now the screen simply will not wake up. It's obviously trying to run in the background and having some issues, but the screen will not wake up for several minutes without a soft reset.
I used to love this phone, but I'm not sure that I can take WinMo much longer after the same thing happened with my Treo800w - which I also loved when it was healthy.
I'm in the same boat as you, have had my Sprint TP2 for 6 months and am really wondering how I'm going to handle having it for another 6. It just gets buggier and buggier. True, I do flash custom ROMs every month or so, but the degradation as the ROM ages is really surprising.
Oh, and the web experience sucks sucks sucks. Opera is manageable, but if I need to find something fast on the internet while I'm on the go, I ask my wife to borrow her iPhone. There's just no point in waiting for Opera. And IE6 is a nonstarter.
I can't wait to switch to Android. I'm hoping HTC comes out with some sweet Android TP2s or TP3s.
I've had a the original Tilt and the TP2. My takeaway from my experience over the past 2+ years? Love HTC and everything they do, especially their keyboards and tilt mechanism, but astonishingly disappointed with WinMo. I know that in a few months I will seriously regret every buying the TP2.
