I think the HD would be a fine phone for WM7. I don't think multitouch is a requirement for Windows Mobile 7 any more than it will be for Windows 7. I think multitouch is a feature Windows Mobile will support but is not a requirement from what I've read.
I believe I saw someone even running a beta of WM7 on the mogul or the touch in some web site so I think the HD should have plenty of power to handle WM7.
While there will obviously be something newer and better coming out not long after the HD is released in Europe - the issue is that typcially Sprint isn't about to jump at the newer model and release it any time soon. So suppose the HDX comes out in April and it is even better than the HD - Sprint still typically takes 4 months to a year before releasing their version. Every engineer I've ever spoken with at the trade shows hates the Sprint "testing" process. From what I hear it is mainly about SPrint putting their market apps e.g. Sprint music on the phone which sometimes can effectively break other parts of the phone. I didn't get more details than that and I don't claim to know the OS ins and out on a WM device but I've certainly seen DLL's from AOL and other crap programs break a perfectly good PC.
