Mozilla Firefox was my favourite browser for years. Love to use it compare to feature-less Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, it was replaced by faster Google Chrome lately. And now Mozilla is going to fight back with Firefox OS. Firefox OS is an open platform that fosters greater participation in the value chain. Built entirely using HTML5 and other open Web standards and free from the rules and restrictions of existing proprietary platforms. Want to try it? Today is your lucky day if you happen have a HTC HD2 with you. Yes, there is Firefox OS for the legendary HTC HD2 ~ HD2Gecko ROM.

Windows Phone is not my cup of tea. Well, it still can’t impress me. Still lack of apps and games when compare to iOS and Android. Maybe I will back to Windows when Microsoft combines both Windows for desktop and phone into one OS. Until then, Android is still my top choice. But this may not apply to some of you, just me. So there are Windows Phone 7.8 ROMs (still no public WP8 ROM yet) for HTC HD2. Pdaimatejam ROM is based on WP7.8 OS 7.10.8862.144. Basically, it is ported from Nokia Lumia 900. So you can see Nokia applications (Nokia Drive, Maps, Music) and features there. Windows Phone is all from Nokia mainly now, right? And the very important stuff ~ it has automatic activation code for Windows Live.

Rest in peace HTC… Oh, I mean my HTC HD2. Good bye, my very first smartphone. HTC HD2 was a great piece of hardware back in year 2009 (check out my HTC HD2 unboxing). It is the best developer friendly smartphone ever. Yes, you can run stock Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android, Ubuntu and Meego on HTC HD2. I don’t think there will be a phone that can do so in the future.
