Dual-Boot Windows Phone 7 and Android on the HTC HD2

You may have heard that HTC HD2 can be hacked to run both Windows 7 Phone OS and Android OS.
The versatile HTC HD2 phone can now add a skill to his growing resume of running homebrew operating system - or should we say operating systems.
But now you can run both ... simultaneously! Okay, not really at the same time (I'm sure you can imagine a kind of crazy WinPho7 Android-mash-up), but from the same partitioned SD card.
This time, some clever folks at XDA come up with a solution that allows you to dual trunk WP7 OS and Android OS.
The cool kids over at XDA-developers have set up a tutorial on how to partition an SD Card to run both Windows and Android Phone 7.
Impressive.
It is not just a one-step process, so they went ahead and made a video: The HTC HD2, introduced in April last year for T-Mobile, running traditional Windows Mobile 6.5.
Given when the phone's versatility - users have been installing all kinds of mobile OS on the HTC HD2. The long list ranges from the classic Windows Mobile 6.5, Eclair, Froyo, gingerbread and even MeeGo.
Yes, I bet you forgot that even existed.
If you find it increasingly difficult to choose which OS you want to start on the phone, dual-boot solution fits you well.
Well, it also has a Snapdragon processor, a 4.3-inch touchscreen, and 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash.
This is by no means an easy task.
Oddly enough, it has not received an official upgrade to Windows 7 Phone, perhaps because Microsoft has just decided to let the hackers do it. [XDA developers via Engadget] Follow Sarah on Twitter (@ geeklil) or on Facebook.
