A working build of Android 2.1 with Sense UI for the HTC Droid Eris is now available for download courtesy of the folks at xda-developers. They said it's working fine, but we'd be careful anyway since it's not an official build and you're risking to lose your data, or even brick your device.
The quality of the video sucks, but you get the idea. These are the only ones available; the lower video leaked earlier, but was removed a couple of times from YT.
Judging by the screenshot above, we can name the presumable prices for the HTC HD2 and Moto Cliq XT that will soon be launching on T-Mobile U.S.The HTC HD2 will cost you $199 after rebate, on a 2-year contract. Just make sure you won't regret buying a WM6.5 based device these days, as its lifespan is almost over.The Motorola Cliq XT will be going for $129 on the same conditions.
According to TmoNews, the release date of the HTC HD2 may be closer than we thought. The two dates circulating now are March 12th and March 17th, though they are still to be determined. The official release date remains unchanged - March 24th.
Rogers and HTC announced an upgraded version of the HTC Magic, whitch has the same name with a (+) sign in the end. The HTC Magic+ is almost the same as the original, except that it comes with a much-needed 3.5 mm jack, and features HTC's Sense UI on top of the Android 1.5 OS (later upgradeable). So as you can see, there's no point in buying this if you already own the first model.
The video below features the upcoming HTC HD smartphone showing off its unique Swype typing software, as well as a custom ROM made for the phone by XDA's Laurentius that replaces all the system icons of the unit. The phone will be available starting March 24th.
