HTC’s product page for the forthcoming T-Mobile version of the HD2 Windows Mobile smart device has revealed that the US version will receive a slight upgrade in terms of ROM and RAM, as the page lists 1GB of onboard ROM and 576MB of RAM while the European/Asian versions both feature 512MB of ROM and 448MB of RAM.
T-Mobile will also be bundling a much larger 16GB memory card in its version of the HD2 as opposed to the 2GB card bundled in the international version.
With the marked increase in ROM and RAM, speculation abounds that the T-Mobile HD2 will be one of the first devices to support Windows Mobile 7.
