Vodafone to drop HTC HD2
In a move that rather shocked some of us at Stuff Towers, Vodafone has confirmed it will be dropping the HTC HD2 from its portfolio to make way for the iPhone in 2010.The HD2 has only been on the market for a few weeks, and had been launched to reportedly good sales – it was certainly one of the most promising WinMo phones we’d ever seen.However Vodafone has decided to ditch it, with a spokesperson saying: "We are not re-stocking the HTC HD2 for general consumer sales once current stock runs out. We have had a massive amount of interest in it, and our initial stock sold out quickly. "Subsequent deliveries have been used to fulfil backorders, but we are not looking to re-stock the device."Vodafone has suggested that its portfolio in 2010 had no room for the device, especially with the introduction of the iPhone sometime in January.Has Apple had any say in this, or is it the right move for Vodafone?

According to engadget, the above is a misunderstanding: "Update 2: HTC pinged us directly and apologized for being unclear. Here's the bottom line: "[The] HD2 will continue to be available on Vodafone, even after the iPhone launches."" http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/vodafone-reportedly-ditching-the-hd2-as-iphone-launch-looms/ Mark
