Unlocked, contract-free HTC HD2 will be available November 11 for a lot of money

We know the HD2 is hitting O2 later this month and Vodafone is getting the handset in Spain in December, but now it looks like the unlocked version isn't too far off either: UK retailer Clove says it'll be out on November 11 for £469, about $740 US. Importing will soon follow, to be sure, but though the phone is unlocked and sim-free we'll be limited to EDGE in the States until that US-specific version hits our shores next year. The question is: will we be strong enough to wait?

Ewww edge? Why would you get this phone without 3g? Wait for the American version, it's not the holy grail of cell phones or anything.

I want that phone...and that dock

OK - who'd be stupid enough to spend three-quarters of a grand on an EDGE??? Apparently - those folks are the same pilfers that got bennies from OB's Stimulus (#1, #2 and the incoming #3)....

Of course that £469 is before tax...

@ daniel shut up. Thanks lets call it Bushs and The Grand Old Partys stim.. Your logic would put fault of a car accident or crime at the police who come after to clean up the scene.. Your an idiot if you think Obama, McCain, Berneke, or anyone can snap their fingers and bring us back instantly from 8 years of abuse and mismanagement by a certain administration, coupled by corporate greed that brought the world financial markets to the brink of ruin.. Lmao

@ TEKNIKKLE SHUT UP. please get a clue before spouting on someone else's rant. under the clinton administration is when they started the home loans for dummies crisis. bush WASN'T a genius, but he isn't the cause of EVERYTHING either.

Way to go Jason, way to go.

When it comes to politicians
The whole lot I do detest
Choosing "liberal" or "conservative"
Is like choosing which flu I like best.
When it comes to pointing fingers
and exposing accountability
Spread the hate around I say
Line them up and blame all three!

I don't get it ?

who will get this phone here in the US? can we figure out this first!!!

[greg3d Posted Oct 13th 2009 1:30AM]

I'd buy this unlocked in a heartbeat if it were US 3G capable. Cant wait until Q1 of next year!

[tcremer Posted Oct 13th 2009 6:05PM]

Ah well.
