The HTC HD2, the nicest Windows Mobile 6.5-based mobile phone delivered to the market during the ongoing year, seems set to make an appearance on at least one new market as soon as January 2010 is here, namely in Australia. Microsoft's website already points towards the near arrival of the high-end device in the country, so there are not too many things to argue about here, it seems.

The HTC HD2 is launching in January 2010 – it’s HTC’s most exciting Windows Phone, featuring a massive 4.3" capacitive touch screen. To celebrate, we are giving away five complimentary HTC HD2 Windows phones. To enter, you simply need to register your interest and tell us in 25 words or less how the HTC HD2 will improve your life,” Microsoft's website notes.

While there are five HTC HD2 waiting to be delivered to lucky users, there are a series of terms and conditions that those interested in this device need to be aware of. All of the necessary details on how to win a free HD2 are available on Microsoft's website here, so head there to learn more. At the same time, you will also find a presentation of the phone, to see a little of what it can offer.

The Windows Mobile 6.5-powered handset is already available for purchase in a series of markets around the world, as many of you might already know, and should arrive in even more of them in the near future. According to some of the latest rumors on the web, T-Mobile US might receive the phone in early 2010, and there is a page on Microsoft's US website that might suggest the same time frame for the launch.

While Australians can already rejoice, knowing that one of the hottest handsets for 2009 is heading towards their country, US fans might still have to wait a little before it all goes official. One way or the other, the handset will still arrive in the US, as HTC promised before, bringing all of its 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen goodness to the market.
