HTC HD2 Still a good choice after 2 years?

[Bubblewhip]

I'm planning on buying a phone totally unlocked for about $400-500 just because I live in Canada and I don't want to deal with 3 year contract bullcrap for phones that are not as good as the ones in the US and even if they we're they'd be outdated next year let alone 3. I've always liked the HD2's ability to install around 5 OS' at once, and I asked if running it as an android phone was viable for everyday use and the answer was yes. It has a 4.3 inch screen which is nice, and boast good battery life. Last I checked it still benchmarks better than most phones other than the new dual cores and the Thunderbolt. So my question is, since I'm buying a totally unlocked phone from the get go, is it still worth it to take the HD2 a phone from 2 years ago for a price of a modern phone today?

Hi,

This is a non android phone, so I need to move this here.

Welcome!

I think it's still totally worth it. I just bought mine off Craigslist a few weeks ago and I love it so much more than my old phone which was newer, but a slower and smaller and didn't have nearly the rom community this one has. I don't know that I would pay 400-500 for it though. I paid $200 for mine and it was in perfect condition and came with the original OS.

$400-$500 is not worth it for this phone. I paid $220 for mine in January. The phone is worth that price if you want to install Android on it and have a AWS service provider in your area. I'm from Canada too and am using one on Wind Mobile. If you don't sign up with either Wind Mobile or Mobilicity you won't get 3G. If you want a phone with Android already installed and done. The Sony Experia X10 is pretty cheap, will get Android 2.3, and it is a nice option depending on what provider you use it on.

Where would I find one for 220 here in Canada reputably?
