Thanks a little detective work from Engadget, we now know that the PD98100, or Desire HD, has just passed through the FCC with no American 3G bands on board. How do they know the PD98100 is the Desire HD? A photo of the battery slot during a hands on at the HTC London event shows the model number plain and simple.

It’s sad to see that the Desire HD won’t be readily available in America, but look on the bright side: We still have our EVO, Nexus, Incredible, Galaxy S devices, DROID 2, DROID X, and plenty more amazing devices coming soon. I’m sure you can find something to suit your fancy, no?

In other news, there is a system dump for the device on XDA that confirms a Vodafone release.
