The famous Chinese DFT Team hackers have once again gotten their hands on some juicy bits earlier than everybody else. As seen in the picture above they have the RTM 7720 Mango build already up and running on an HTC HD7 just a few days after the bits where sent to OEMs. This shouldn’t come as a surprise given that they also had Mango build in the possession early on and are the guys behind the HTC HD2 port of WP7. From the looks of it their must have some close “friends” at an OEM (If I had to guess I would say HTC..).
