The Italian boys over at SoloPalmari did a fairly long pre/review of the HTC HD2 (using non-final hardware and ROM). So far they have only posted the first two parts of their work.

Finally Part 2 features a size comparaison gallery ( vs iPhone, HTC Touch2 etc) and for the first time, sample pictures & video taken with the phones 5Mpix camera. They’ve also tested the GPS out. Just remember that it’s all done on non-final hardware (it features only 320Mb of ram instead of 448Mb and a beta ROM).
