HTC HD 2 Review
HTC HD2 Review. For those who wanted Widows mobile phone with gigantic screen to surf the web, watch videos and pictures, HTC HD 2 could be your perfect phone. Here are HTC HD 2 review.
This phone runs Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense which is an excellent HTC Shell, brilliant, executive, serious, innovative, useful, customizable and extremely user friendly. First request has been fulfilled.
This is the greatest screen you’ll find… There’s just 1 device that comes closer (Toshiba TG01) and it is 0.2 inches smaller (Toshiba 4.1″ / HD2 4.3″) So my second reason is clearly covered. Indeed it is bigger than what I thought and I am obviously happy about it.
Camera resolution is fine (not the best) but it does its job. Still pictures are very nice and video recording quality is also very good. I am very impressed about taking still pictures on dark environments beacuse it gets a highly brilliant and beautiful pictures. Its two led flash allows you to photograph almost anything on black dark environments (as long as it is closer enought to light it)
The capacitive screen prevents unwanted touches from any other thing that is not your finger (or skin) and it has a proximity sensor so you won’t click buttons with your face when talking on the phone. This proximity sensor turns off the screen when you place the phone on your ear and turns it back on when removed.

Battery life is amazing considering 1GHz processor and extra giant screen, I get more than 24hrs of power listening to music, placing and receiving calls, sending and receiving SMS, MMS, surfing the web through WiFi, GPRS, EDGE or 3G (any available) and “playing” with GPS, google maps, Garmin, etc.
It comes with an extremely addictive game (Teeter) that uses the built-in accelerometer to move a ball while you move the phone, the objective is to insert the ball in a green hole preventing the gray ones.
It has a built-in connection with Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Windows Live, so your contacts are always up-to-date with status, tweets, profile pictures and even birthdays! (it stores birthdays on the calendar and alerts you on the go)
Microsoft has a very useful software “MyPhone” (not exclusive for this device but 4 all Windows Mobile phones) which allows you to sync contacts, calendar, pictures, text messages, music, documents, storage card contents and even location. This lets you change your device and by simply synchronizing with a couple of clicks, your new device will be exactly as the old one, and you don’t even need a computer ’cause it stores the content on your Windows Live account. (I’ve heard about a lot of BB users who loses their contacts when updating the BB messenger) So this deserves a big “Hurrah” for Microsoft. I found it soooo useful and important.
The stock manager allows you to keep track of your stocks, always up-to-date, it can even show graphics for 1 day behavior, 5 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 and 2 years.
Storage card is placed below the back cover and it is not below the battery, so you can change it while phone is still on. It supports up to 32 GB microSD HC.
Applications included are very useful, I saw a review that talks about the simple calculator and this is wrong… it is not so simple, it has a simple calculator when holding the phone in a vertical position and you can get a scientific calculator if you turn your phone and hold it horizontal.
The MP3 trimmer allows you to cut an MP3 file in a determinated position and save and extract of it to use it as a ringtone.
Office Mobile includes OneNote where you can write using the keyboard or handwritting. (I also read a review that says that this phone won’t let you handwrite to create a message), this is also wrong… you can turn on this function on the keyboard options while you are writting your message.
WorldCard Mobile (found on tools) is an OCR recognition engine that lets you take a picture of a bussiness card and it recongnizes names, email, website, address, phones, etc and save it to a new contact so you don’t have to write it manually.
Remote Desktop Mobile lets you connect to any PC, the digital compass can be combined with google maps to get directions or orientate on unknown places and this HD2 can be configured as a WiFi router to use your mobile internet connection everywhere (GPRS, EDGE or 3G) so your laptop will be always online no matter where you are, it can connect to a network or bluetooth printer to print your documents on the go including Acrobat PDF documents. The Opera browser and even IE are flash compatible and you can navigate almost as if you are in front of your desktop PC.
The performance for this device is impressive with its 1GHz processor and as if this is not enought out there are millions of software apps that can be installed and customize your phone covering all your needs.
Scoring 8,2 of 10 at CNET
The Good: The HTC HD2 boasts a gorgeous 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen, and T-Mobile preloads the smartphone with a ton of entertainment extras to take advantage of its display and 1GHz processor. The phone’s 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures, and it has decent call quality. HTC’s Sense offers an easier-to-use and customizable user experience than the standard Windows Mobile interface.
The Bad: The HD2 is clunky and big. It runs Windows Mobile 6.5. We also experienced data connection issues and the smartphone felt more sluggish compared with the unlocked version.
The Bottom Line: The HTC HD2’s size and older operating system aren’t ideal, but you won’t find a more powerful or entertaining smartphone in T-Mobile’s lineup.
