No! The HD is incapable of using WM7.If you look at the preliminary specs; WM7 requires a device with Multi-Touch capability. Only devices with Capacitive Touch are capable of this. The HD uses a pressure plate touchsceen, not capacitive touch. The HD2 is capacative & MS claims that it will be one of the first devices to get the WM7 upgrade {When & if they release it}. Of the older HTCs; the Diamond & Touch Pro are the only ones with a capacitive interface {entire Bottom panel is capacitive}.

I know how you feel; I can't wait to see 7. From the sneak peeks, it looks like Microsoft may finally get it right.

I think that may be a feature of the BT device you have. Pretty sure I can have my BlueAnt unit in the car auto answer without altering settings on the phone.
