HTC HD2 may loose out on Android OS if this report is to be believed.. Peter Chou, the HTC CEO seems optimistic about Windows Mobile and speculates not to have any hands on HD2-Android mix. Have a look at what he said in an interview given to Forbes:

About the HD2

HTC’s solution is the HD2, a wafer-thin handset that combines a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a high-end processor for snappy downloads and fast Web browsing. The phone, which was unveiled earlier this month, runs the latest version of Windows Mobile (6.5) as well as some flashy HTC software. “We’re working hard on these kinds of products to get excitement about Windows Mobile back,” says Chou.

Gadget fans have been clamoring for an Android version of the HD2, but Chou hints that the handset will stay as is. “Technically, we could make the HD2 an Android phone, but I have to take care of Windows Mobile,” says Chou.

About competition

“You cannot expect you are the only player in town. … You need other players to come and make the ecosystem stronger.”

About the YOU campaign

In the cutthroat smart phone market, even winning favored status with operators can’t guarantee strong sales. That’s one reason why Chou recently approved HTC’s first global advertising campaign. The ads, which play on the word “you” as a sign of the company’s commitment to its customers, will roll out across 20 countries in coming weeks.

Views about Motorola dumping Windows Mobile

HTC may be updating its brand, but it’s sticking by its longtime partner, Microsoft ( MSFT – news - people ). Though other handset makers such as Motorola have dropped Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system in favor of Android, Chou says HTC has no plans to follow. That doesn’t mean he’s not frustrated with the software. “Windows Mobile innovation has been a little slow and interest in Windows Mobile phones has been declining,” he admits.

The theories behind the scenes are yet to be discovered since the Android market has been tempting many carriers of late. The good in the bad is that though Lancaster may have been deplored by folks at AT&T, they seem to be sanguine about the two Windows Mobile phones from HTC.
