It is already November 2009 and this 1 GHz monster of a mobile phone is already out on the market. Go to Vodafone UK if you are looking for some tight HD2 deals, or if you do not like being on a contract, try for the retail version. This 4.3 inch screened HD mobile phone from HTC is worth every Pound. Of course, that is if you prefer to have Windows over other operating systems, Android fans should wait for the HTC Hero instead.
The HD2 got quite a lot of attention when it was first announced; boasting an impressive processor and large high resolution screen, people knew this phone had the right stuff. With the device now available, it can definitely be said that HTC can deliver.
Hardware Specifications
The HTC HD2 has a 480 x 800 pixel resolution, 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen display. It looks beautifully bright, displaying image clarity not usually found in most mobile devices. The touch screen itself is very responsive to touch commands and tracks movements and gestures accurately. The response time however, can be attributed more to the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor rather than the touch screen. For good reason too, Windows Mobile 6.5 has been known to run smoothly on slower 528 MHz processors; HD2 reviews are not detailed on how the WinMo OS fully utilizes the processor.
The device is slightly larger than the average touch screen phone; mostly due to the extra space needed for the display. At 4.74 x 2.64 x 0.43 inches, the HD2 is both wide and slim, providing an excellent balance in size.
Overall
HTC’s official press release states that this mobile phone is the first time they incorporated the HTC Sense interface on a different operating system –being Windows Mobile. HTC has successfully done this and the result is that the HD2 has an amazing interface for accessing all the useful features of Windows Mobile.
