HTC HD Mini Review

The HTC HD Mini is the last of the Windows Mobile phones, and the little brother of the HTC HD2, what many people regarded as the best Windows Mobile phone of all time. Sharing many features with its brother, the HD Mini looks nothing like your average Windows Mobile phone, as it uses the same shiny Sense User Interface that you see on most of HTC's othe rsmartphones, including the HD2, Desire and Hero. Indeed, at first glance, you could mistake the Mini for any of HTC's other smartphones, and would be forgiven for wondering how it differs from its bigger brother, the HD2. We thought that, too, so we decided to review the thing! Find out just what the Mini offers in our full HTC HD Mini review after the jump. The first thing you notice with the HTC HD Mini is just how cute it looks. The giant clock, which is HTC's signature homescreen widget, makes the rest of the phone look tiny, giving it the appearance that it's a giant smartphone in a tiny body. Which it is, really - its bigger brother, the HTC HD2, has a screen that's a whopping 4.2\" in size, which is full 1\" more than the Mini. Fortunately, the tiny appearance of the Mini is just an illusion. It's still got a 3.2\" screen, which is only slightly smaller than the average 3.5\" screen used by most smartphones (including the T-Mobile G1).

HTC HD Mini Review

HTC is riding high at the moment. A string of top-class Android phones – the Legend, the Desire and Google Nexus One – as well as the HD2, the best Windows Mobile phone yet, have firmly positioned the company as a smartphone giant. Its latest handset, the HTC HD Mini, is the successor to the HD2, the first handset that made the tricky WinMo OS effective and attractive, largely by covering is with a useable interface. The HD2 was also the first WinMo phone to have a capacitive touch-screen, which look and handle better than the pressure-sensitive resistive kind. But it was big, at 4.3 inches, and proved too much to lug around for some users. The Mini has a 3.2-inch capacitive screen, which brings the overall size of the phone down to a more manageable size and still gives you space to view content effectively. The build quality is superb, with a tactile rubber covering on the back complemented by stainless steel screws to give an elegant industrial look. The front is smooth and slick, with touch-sensitive icons that sit next to the display. These are start and end call, home and back keys, and a dedicated Windows Mobile key. This will take you to Microsoft's list of shortcuts including Internet Explorer and Microsoft My Phone, which syncs up contacts calendars and more.

HTC HD mini review

There was a time when Windows Mobile used to rule the smartphone seas. Then along came Symbian but that?s a whole other story. It was touchscreen that showed to all the willing challengers that Windows Mobile is just too big to turn around quickly enough and catch the new wind. HTC however seem to disagree and dispel doubts of jumping ship. They have not given up on the cause and the HTC HD mini is the living proof. So, mini is perhaps the right approach to users who would otherwise feel timid about giving Windows Mobile a try ? especially with so many touchscreen temptations around. On the other hand, it does matter whose mini version it is. The almighty HD2 was the first PocketPC with a capacitive screen and a Snapdragon core. Now, the HTC HD mini is obviously shorter on size, resolution and processing power. But it may be well worth the resources invested in making it what it is ? a pocket-friendly, but still powerful handset with solid build, slick design and a touch-friendly UI. Check out the HTC HD mini key strengths and possible turn-offs in the lists below to get an idea if this is the handset that will suit you. We all know there?s more to a contemporary smartphone (touchscreen at that) than its spec sheet. The HTC HD mini certainly has the pedigree but the verdict will only be passed on its performance.

HTC HD mini Review

At this year's MWC, HTC, the premier Windows Mobile phone manufacturer, officially announced what's maybe one of the last smartphones to run the condemned Windows Mobile 6.x.x OS - the HTC HD mini. As the HD mini arrives at this world during what's probably the last days of the Windows Mobile platform as we knew it, we can't help but wonder if it's gotten the guts to face the plethora of Android phones that are flooding the market right now from literally every direction. Still, HTC wouldn't have been such a name today if wasn't making quality products that the users enjoy.So what does the HTC HD mini has to offer in its fight against time? Let's start by opening the box:• HTC HD mini• microUSB cable• Compact wall charger with attachments• Wired handsfree• Quick start guide• Some other papersAs you see, the package contains almost everything a user may need. Only a car charger and a case are missing, but why should you use a case, when your phone is such a good looker? What, the HTC HD mini is a good looker? Yep, that's right...Of course, the most important question here is how "mini" is the HTC HD mini. It depends on your approach really.

HTC HD Mini review

Hot on the heels of the excellent HTC Legend and the even more impressive HTC Desire, is the HTC HD Mini. But whereas the Legend and Desire both come equipped with Android 2.1, the HD Mini has to make do with Windows Mobile 6.5.3.Don't be put off by the less-than-trendy operating system though, because if anyone knows how to make a Windows Mobile phone usable, it's HTC, and the HD Mini is a fine example of just that. With HTC Sense UI thrown on top of Windows Mobile, the HD Mini is not just easy to use, but actually quite enjoyable. So, has HTC managed to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? (Sorry Microsoft.) In a word, yes. But there's far more to the success of the HD Mini than the slick masking of Windows Mobile. HTC has created a phone that is simply packed with features, while also being far more compact and pocketable than its direct competitors. At just under 104mm tall, the HD Mini is noticeably shorter than the HTC Legend and even the disappointing Nokia X6. At 57.7mm wide and 11.7mm thick, the HD Mini is also extremely comfortable to hold – in fact it feels far more like a traditional phone than, say, the Desire or iPhone.

Product Survey: Mobiles & Smartphones

HTC has jumped on the bandwagon with its new HD Mini, a smaller version of its very popular , a huge handset running Windows Mobile 6.5 It's been shrunk in size and has lost weight, but also has a less powerful processor than its bigger brother; the Mini still uses a Qualcomm chip, but it now runs at 600 MHz instead of the 1 GHz found on the HD2. But when it comes to using the two handsets every day, will the Mini be able to wow us as much as the HD2? Bucking the current trend, the HD Mini doesn't have an enormous screen, which left some people in the office wondering whether it was a smartphone at all or just a traditional mobile--but when did exactly did we decide that handsets had to reach a minimum size before they could be called smartphones? While the HD2 had 4.3'' capacitative touchscreen, this one 'only' measures 3.2'' with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels--but it's just as attractive. It's as responsive as the larger version, and multitouch works perfectly, which is unusual for a phone running Windows Mobile 6.5, which is more commonly deployed on resistive touchscreens. It's also pleasingly bright, thanks to the AMOLED technology.

HTC HD mini Review

It sounds like a recipe for success: take the surprisingly popular HTC HD2, shrink it down some, and offer it as a more pocketable alternative. Yet out of the three devices HTC announced at Mobile World Congress in February, the HTC HD mini has prompted the least interest. The HD mini has to convince prospective buyers not only of its own merits but that it’s worth buying into an ageing OS that’s just months away from replacement. Can it deliver? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. At its launch, HTC told us that the HD mini embodies their new “Hidden Power” design ethos, where the structural form of a device is embraced by its aesthetic rather than hidden away. Most obvious are the four exposed screw heads that emerge through the rubbery back cover, being not just decorative but what’s actually holding the whole phone together. The front, meanwhile, is a single pane of glass, with a 3.2-inch HVGA 320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen and five touch-sensitive buttons for Call, Home, Start, Back and End. On the side there’s a volume rocker while up top a small power button doubles as the lock key; on the very bottom there’s a microUSB port.
