The new Motorola Droid has been basking in the spotlight as of late, but we’ve got good news for those of you still drooling over HTC’s monster touchscreen phone called the HD2. HTC has announced that they’ve already begun shipping this Windows Mobile 6.5-powered 4.3-inch touchscreen-equipped 5-megapixel camera phone to Europe and Asia, and barring any delays, it’ll definitely be available in most markets in time for the early holiday shopping rush. This also supports the previous report that it will be available in the UK by November 11th. As far as the US is concerned, they’ll have to wait until the New Year festivities are over before they can get their HTC HD2 as its slated to debut sometime in early 2010. No word on who will be releasing it in the US, but T-Mobile is currently the top candidate to do so.
