As many of you are sure to know Microsoft is gearing up to launch their latest mobile platform dubbed Windows Phone 7 in the coming weeks. This platform will right all of the wrongs done by Windows Mobile and give consumers a pleasant experience. Featuring things like deep integration with Xbox Live and social networks, Windows Phone 7 is gearing up to be quite the release.

However, while Windows Phone 7 itself looks good, we’ve yet to officially see what devices will run it. Luckily, some hackers have managed to get WP7 running on an HTC HD2. This device has long been available running  Windows Mobile 6.5 but with specs that can compete with even the highest end smartphones on the market, many have wondered if it will run Microsoft’s latest Windows Phone 7.

According to the above video the HTC HD2 is definitely capable of runnign Windows Phone 7 but considering the phone isn’t actually used on video, we have our doubts. As for an official release? Well, at this point I’d say don’t hold your breath as Microsoft surely has devices in the pipeline that will far outpace the HD2.
