This is not entirely true. I believe holding off on buying a new phone depends on several variables. My contract is nearing renewal so I will wait and see what's coming. If I had just purchased a new phone or still had a year left on contract, I probably would not be willing to buy a new phone (or terminate my contract and jump to another carrier to get one). Since no one knows where the HD2 will go when it comes to the US or what features it will support, pinning all one's hopes on the proverbial "bird in the bush" may not prove wise.
So far there is no word from HTC whether the HD2 will be upgraded to WinMo 7 (short of flashing a cooked ROM). Also, US phones are usually "crippled" by the carriers in some way relative to their European counterparts. The HTC HD2 phone we are drooling about now may not be the same phone that lands in the US. Anyone with a cell phone knows there is always another better phone "just a few months away". One can't wait forever. All except hard-core cell phone users will buy whatever is available now.
