The Desire HD's rom has been ported to the HD2, but can't the HD2 rom be ported back? They have more or less the same specs, and the same screen size, so why?

why would you want to? the HD2 is running windows 6.5, possibly the most hated mobile operating system ever made.
maybe port windows mobile 7 to the DHD, but why port an old edition to a new phone?

The Sense UI on the HD2 completely changes it, so I waned to try it out, and as for Windows 7, HD7 Port?

Your point is very interesting, I moved from hd2 and still viewed it as one of the most competitive device of it's time. But I would like to make my point clear that running an os from storage card is like crap. Never want to try so I moved to desire hd. Recently I heard it'll be possible to run from nand but it'll be none of my business.

Wrong

Thanks to WM is that OS like iPhone and Android are where they are now, so please have more respect to the father of all touch screens operating systems.
And it is not hated, different stuff is that Android is in fashion now

You have an interesting point there. There will be a multiple platform NAND booting for the HD2 soon that can boot Android, WM7 and other OSes like Ubuntu, meebo, etc. Who knows, it could come to DHD too!
