Hi,

If comparing with used phone, i would prefer the HTC HD2 phone, its the 
only phone that is capable(and having the roms) to run winmo 6.5, 
windows phone 7, android, ubuntu/meebo(these 2 are not for day to day use).

Its possible to dual boot android/wp7 together or run android on top win 
mo 6.5

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=531 and 
http://android.hd2roms.com/ (look the number of roms it supports!), I'm 
currently using http://android.hd2roms.com/details/?r=87

Cheers,
Zhi Xiong
