Despite being released back in 2009 the HTC HD2 remains a oft-talked about device. The reason for this is the fact that at the time and even still the HD2 is a highly advanced device. If you’re not familiar with its specs it features a 4.3-inch display with 800 x 480 resolution, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 576MB of RAM, 1GB of storage with microSDHC slot for up to 32GB of additional storage, 5 megapixel rear facing camera with autofocus and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.5.

If you’ve been paying attention you’ll probably know that Windows Mobile is no longer supported by Microsoft with the company instead focusing its efforts on Windows Phone 7.

Luckily, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is on the scene to give us some insight. According to Mr. Elop, Nokia is doing everything they can to have their first Windows Phone 7 smartphones out by the end of this year. This goes against previous reports that say Nokia would be targeting 2012 as the first year for their Windows Phone debut.

Unfortunately, we weren’t given anymore information as to what exactly these phones will be like, or an exact release window. On that note, sit tight and we’ll keep you posted.
