Basically, you can consider this one a simple Public Service Announcement. Truth be told, we’re hoping that this is, indeed, just as T-Mobile USA suggests: a one day event to help stimulate sales, because the best device (at least in retail stores right now) going down this low so soon after its launch isn’t a good sign. Either way, it’s a good deal, without a doubt, so if you have been waiting for today, you’ll need to make sure and jump in on the action soon.

The latest batch of available HTC HD2 units on T-Mobile’s web site surely went quick as we see it once again sold out. With the demand of the high powered Windows Mobile smartphone still chugging along at a decent rate, T-Mobile needs to take advantage of this opportunity and hopefully manages to get more units in stock to appease the growing demand.
