I beleive we will see gen 2 ...here in the states. Sometime mid 2009. I expect to see an unlocked version coming directly from HTC and a CDMA version subsidised by the usual suspects.

(or vice versa)...I may be wrong, but my guess is that HTC didn't think the US demand for the HD would be worth all the time and money required for a launch in the US...

don't believe those. It's speculation. U.S. version prolly doesnt have a blue print yet. Or prolly it will not even touch the U.S. soil. it's all speculation U know.

nice but whether this phone will launch to U.S is another question

R u kidding me? Sprint beats the hell out of Verizon. Come to VZW for a while & then u can c what it's like to finally get a device when it'scompletely obsolete. VZW is usually 1 year behind Sprint.

I started a thread titled HTC Touch HD - Join My Crusade!!! I would love it if
people would start their talks about it there, so it can be in one location.
