T-Mobile nabs HTC’s Touch HD2, schedules release for November

WinMo folks, we wouldn’t blame you for getting a bit of Android envy after last week’s DROID onslaught, but if there’s one thing that could make people pine for your OS it’s HTC’s HD2, and T-Mobile has just confirmed it’s coming on November 9 — a mere weekend after Moto’s new hotness hits Verizon. Mind you, there is some confusion continue in this place, as the picture on T-Mo’s site is of the old Touch HD, not the HD2 we met and loved, and the mention of “loads of applications to download from Android Market” is particularly perplexing. But, we’ve been told to go ahead and blame a bumbling marketeer rather than to expect some sort of cross-platform app marketplace love fest — groovy as that may sound.

Update: We’ve also just learned that HTC is plan to officially launch the HD2 on November 4 ahead of a November 11 release elsewhere. We’re not entirely sure what there is left to learn about the thing, but we’re continuously game for another press contest.

Update 2: Just to clarify things, this is T-Mobile UK. Also, as many have pointed out in comments, we’re at this time thinking the “09″ above means 2009, not November 9, which likely points to a November 11 release. Surely you can swallow that DROID envy for another two days, yeah?
