Latest Handset to Receive Gingerbread is Not a Native Android Device

What a lovely surprise to find that my personal weapon of choice, the HTC HD2, is next on the list of devices to receive Gingerbread love from the modding community. We’ve already seen the G2 and Nexus One as well as the Galaxy S. Now the device that was intended to run Windows 6.5 and nothing more has taken fourth place, by my count, in the line of devices upgraded to Gingerbread thanks to m-deejay from XDA. Those of us HD2 owners who are ready for a different spice in our life can get their hands on a ROM based on AOSP for the Nexus One.

If you’re ready to make the dive, get on it. I’ll probably dip my toes in some time today; if for no other reason than to say I’ve used Gingerbread, then hop back.
