For the past few weeks, it seems like people in the United States are getting some better deals. Not only were they the first to get Android 2.0 through the Motorola DROID (though the Milestone did eventually follow after a few weeks), they also go an upgraded version of the HTC HD2. Or so we thought.

The HTC HD2 is one very well known device for it is one of those few Windows Mobile phones that are actually worth owning. It all starts with the hardware; the device comes with a 4.3 inch touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and can display 65 thousand colors. It also has a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor running at 1GHz. The built in 5 mega pixel camera comes with auto focus, LED flash, and geo-tagging –and it will also take VGA videos at 30 frames per second. Best of all, the WinMo user interface does not pose a hindrance thanks to the HTC Sense UI which allows the device to use a capacitive touch screen.

And apparently, T-Mobile USA got 576MB of RAM over the standard 448MB of RAM available.

In truth, all HTC HD2 units actually have 576MB of RAM. A recent custom ROM from XDA developers will allow users to unlock the extra hardware. While this does void warranty, it proves that all the HD2 units were made equal. As to why this specification was hidden remains to be explained.

Aside from the RAM, it has also been known that the GPS and FM functions of the HD2 have to be enabled through unconventional methods as the hardware is present but is inaccessible when used straight from the box.

To get more details on the hidden functions of the HTC HD2, the extra RAM and links to XDA, go straight to GSM Arena.
