HTC HD2 Mini-Review

If you look now, you will find HTC HD2 contracts available on Vodafone UK and on T-Mobile UK at similar (identical?) rates. Unless you dislike having a monthly tariff, this is the best deals for this impressive HTC HD2. The HD2 is the phone of choice for those who appreciate Windows Mobile. If you prefer Android, you might want to wait for the HTC Hero. The HD2 is one of the best Windows Mobile phones thanks to its hardware and the way the HTC sense interface complements Window’s weaknesses in navigation design.

The main feature of this device, is its’ large capacitive touch screen. At 4.3 inches, it is the largest touch screen on this year’s crop of mobile phones (the XPERIA X10 has a 4 inch screen).

HD2’s Hardware and Features

One common factor found on HTC HD2 reviews is that the HTC Sense truly shines in this device. Navigating the HD2’s features using the touch screen interface is easy thanks to the intuitive design and responsiveness of the Sense and the hardware. All that speed comes from the power of the Snapdragon 1GHz processor.  For features, the HD2 relies mostly on Windows Mobile’s functions such as the Windows Media Player, but in some instances, HTC provides alternatives such as the Opera Mobile browser instead of the less-reliable Internet Explorer mobile.

Dimensions

The official HD2 press release hails the HD2’s 4.3 inch monster of a screen as the phone’s showcase feature, and it is. It is hard not to notice the huge screen; in a way, it makes the HD2 look like a really small tablet. HTC compensated for the extra width (the HD2 is 4.74 x 2.64 inches) by keeping the HD2 at a slim 0.43 inches. With the battery, the phone only weighs 5.54 ounces.
