Now we have run into a few sceptics in our comment section, and of course more widely on the internet. We decided therefore to tabulate the evidence we have for Windows Mobile 7<\/a> being announced at Mobile World Congress, and of course coming to the HTC HD2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Evidence for Windows Mobile 7 announcement at Mobile World Congress, release at the end of the year<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As of October 2009 Windows Mobile 7 was on track<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An October slide leaked from Microsoft spoke of a Sprint 2010 Release To Manufacturers of Windows Mobile 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ZDNet leaked a Maldives test program for Windows Mobile 7 for Q1 2010, for shipping in Q3 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Windows Mobile 7 is in testing<\/a>. You don’t test an OS a year before release.<\/p>\n

A reliable XDA-Dev tipster said the OS would come in Q3 2010.<\/a><\/p>\n

Digitimes leaked a Q4 timescale for WM7.<\/a><\/p>\n

Phil Moore from Microsoft says in December Windows Mobile 7 is coming late next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LG says they will ship Windows Mobile 7 handsets in 2010<\/a>. If the handsets are set to ship at the end of the year, the OS needs to e announced soon, and MWC has been the traditional location for this for Microsoft.  Where else if not there?<\/p>\n

Robbie Bach said they would discuss a product that\u2019s not evolutionary<\/a>, but looks, feels and acts completely different at Mobile World Congress. Whatever Windows Mobile 6.5<\/a>.3 is, it is certainly evolutionary.<\/p>\n

Office Vice President Kurt Delbene confirmed that Microsoft will be unveiling its plans for Windows Mobile 7 at the MIX 2010 conference in March 2010.<\/a>  This is after Mobile World Congress.<\/p>\n

Evidence for WM7 on the HTC HD2<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The HTC HD2 matches the Chassis 1 specs for Windows Mobile 7<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The HTC HD2\u2019s Snapdragon processor supports Windows Mobile 7<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides the previous leaks about Chassis 1, we have confirmation from leaked CV\u2019s that Qualcomm was working on supporting Windows Mobile 7 on their Snapdragon processor.<\/p>\n

Greg Sullivan spoke of the platform work<\/a> \u2013 the only mobile OS we know of with specific hardware requirements is Windows Mobile 7. <\/p>\n

HTC HD2\u2019’s HTC Sense UI contains Windows Mobile 7 references<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HTC confirmed an upgrade via Twitter<\/a>.  Despite retracting it again, the initial confirmation appeared much more truthful than the much later retraction.<\/p>\n

HTC Support staff confirming the HTC HD2 getting a free upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the comment that support staff often know nothing is usually pretty accurate, HTC is still a small company, and the claim of a November or later free upgrade very specific.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now after 2 hours of sifting through our Windows Mobile 7 coverage I am quite convinced.  Are you?  Let us know in the poll below.<\/p>\n
