Rumor:HTC Touch HD will come to U.S. in android flavor

Ok guys, I found this article over the net and it is a rumor as of yet. So don't get over excited.I got this rumor from 1 of the most respectable phone website out there. I am not really an Android fan, In fact I really don't like Android. But I think U guys still ought to know.

here is my own take on the topic. I really doubt it will happen, But Who knows? HTC recently came out with an announcement that the "Touch HD" is not coming to the U.S. What if the android version was renamed,for example, G2? So technically, Touch HD is not coming to the U.S. but G2 prolly will. So HTC won't be lying. they just didn't tell the truth. Take note, HTC said they have cool devices coming tho. It's up to U guys. Whatever the outcome is, U see it here, First!

The Rumor:

Two unrelated sources tipped off PhoneDog stating that T-Mobile is already prepping a version of HTC’s Touch HD to be their next Android-powered handset. Many Android Community members have expressed their wishes for the HTC Touch HD to become an Android-powered device.
The pic is not suppose to be the actual pic. It's just for reference.

While one of the sources is a tipster that likes to pass along anything interesting they may hear, the other apparently has a pretty decent track record when it comes to leaking upcoming handset information accurately. Neither of the sources are part of HTC or T-Mobile.
The HTC Touch HD, not be confused with the HTC Touch Pro, has specs similar to the G1. The Touch HD would make a perfect Android-powered handset to compete with the leading phones in the US. The Touch HD is most noted for having a large display that beats even the iPhone 3G. Boasting a large 3.8-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with 480 x 800 WVGA resolution, this phone easily one of the best to look at. However HTC today revealed that they would not be bringing the Touch HD to the US, as it lacks US-spec 3G and they feel the device would be outdated by the time it could be re-engineered.

Source here:
I'm publishing this one as much because I want it to happen as anything else. I got it from two unrelated sources late last week that T-Mobile is prepping a version of HTC's Touch HD as their next Android phone. One of the sources was the ever talkative Anonymous Tipster, but the other one was somebody with a decent track record when it comes to accurately leaking info on upcoming handset releases. Neither of them are inside the folds of HTC or T-Mo, and no I haven't signed an NDA I'm trying to get around here.
Personally, I'd love to see a T-Mo branded (and subsidized) Touch HD running Android on the carrier's lovely new 3G network here in the U.S. Touch HD would give T-mo two things I think it needs: A flashy Android phone, and a tricked-out, high-end iPhone competitor.
Treat this as rumor and nothing more at this point, but if anything more comes of this one I'll be sure to let you know. I promise.
