HTC HD2 Review

We review HTC's HD2 which features a huge 4.3-inch display and Qualcomm's latest 1GHz Snapdragon processor, but can it have success with Windows Mobile 6.5?HTC's HD2 from T-Mobile, with its glossy 4.3-inch display and Blockbuster download capability, is about as close to a personal multimedia device as a cell phone can get. Too bad it has the wrong operating system: the nearly obsolete Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional sugar-coated with HTC's Sense. Yes, the HD2 is chockfull of lovely technologies, but can all its wonderful multimedia capabilities peacefully co-exist in a heretofore touchscreen unfriendly operating system?The HD2's charcoal gray metal casing looks and feels more elegantly professional and just as sleek as the iPhone, but it also gives the phone a bit more heft – 5.54 ounces, which can embarrassingly sag a dress shirt's breast pocket. It's also devoid of perimeter buttons. There are five familiar controls – send, home, Start, back and end – beneath the 4.3-inch, 480 x 800 capacitive touchscreen, and only a nearly flush volume toggle on the left spine. The HD2's 4.3-inch glossy screen is beautiful, although in certain ambient light situations the sensor array dots become visible.Inside, you'll find Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, inadequate and overblown when it first came out, and likely already on its way out, if Microsoft’s Kin phones and the varying Windows Mobile 7 previews we've seen are any clue.

HTC HD2 Review

The HTC HD2 is bigger than many smartphone users may expect, but the 4.3-inch screen best displays what the phone is good at: showing movies, downloading e-books, and typing messages with the swiftest new thing in keypads, Swype. Swype allows users to swish their finger between letters to form a word, so the mistakes made by pecking at keys are easier to avoid. The phone also comes with two built-in movies, five games, a 5 MP camera and a 1GHz processor. The handset has a lot to offer for pleasure, but its business offerings can be found on almost any other smartphone. Messages are separated by their source (e-mail, text or instant message), Microsoft Office documents can be viewed and edited, and social networking sites Twitter and Facebook can be integrated into the phone, but only for update sending and receiving, and these updates aren't prominently shown on the phone. The HD2 is a lot of fun. But consumers may wonder where the innovations are for keeping up with application downloads and social media offerings on similar phones. The HD2 is a big phone with big features. Considering all the features that come built into the phone, including two full-length movies, it shouldn't be surprising the phone is as big as it is. It's a bit heavy too, weighing in at 157 grams.

HTC HD2

With its gorgeous hardware, speedy Snapdragon processor, and a knockout 4.3-inch display, the HTC HD2 ($200 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile; price as of 4/1/10) seems to be the perfect smartphone. But there's a caveat: The HD2 runs the almost-obsolete Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. And unfortunately, when Windows Phone 7 Series finally debuts at the end of this year, the HD2 won't be upgradable. In its hardware, though, the HTC HD2 is hands-down the best Windows Mobile phone currently available. The HD2's minimalist design and its stainless steel and soft black rubber body give it a very classy look. The HD2 is slightly larger than your average smartphone, measuring 4.7 by 2.6 by 0.4 inches thick. This size might be a turnoff for some, but in my opinion, the tradeoff is worth it: The HD2 is slightly larger to accommodate its brilliant 480-by-800, 4.3-inch WVGA display. The screen was fairly responsive, but I encountered some sluggishness in the software (see "Spotty Performance" below). Five oblong hardware buttons lie below the display: Talk, Home, Windows Start, Back, and End/Power. Oddly, the 3.5-mm headphone jack is on the bottom edge of the HD2; I prefer it on the top or side.

HTC HD2

In some ways the HTC HD2 feels like a phone from the future. It boasts a positively huge 4.3-inch multitouch display that makes surfing the web, watching movies, and flipping through photos a more immersive experience. And thanks to its 1-GHz Snapdragon processor, this device offers the best performance we’ve seen yet in a Windows Phone, especially within the elegant Sense user interface. Just as important, T-Mobile went the extra mile by bundling the HD2 with all sorts of entertainment applications, including a Barnes & Noble eReader for eBooks and Blockbuster on Demand for movies. Unfortunately, the backbone of this device is the dated Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, which occasionally rears its ugly, confusing head. Plus, T-Mobile’s 3G coverage remains spotty. So is this smart phone worth $199, or is it just a slick-looking bridge to even better Windows Phone 7 Series phones?Make no mistake: the HD2 is large. In fact, some may feel a bit silly holding this slate up to their head to make calls. And yet the device slips into a pocket with relative ease (thanks to its 0.4-inch profile) and is lighter than the Motorola Droid (5.5 ounces vs. 6 ounces).

HTC HD2

It's been a long wait but the HTC HD2 is now officially available from T-Mobile. Much like the unlocked version, which we reviewed in February, the smartphone offers awesome features, such as a luxurious 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and a 5-megapixel camera. But T-Mobile sweetens the deal by preloading the device with a ton of entertainment apps. However, the question is not so much whether the HD2 is awesome (because it is), but whether it's worth getting, now that Windows Phone 7 Series has been announced. That's always the problem with tech though, isn't it? There's always something newer and better around the corner, but at the same time, by waiting and waiting for the next big thing, sometimes you miss out on some really great devices and that's sort of how we feel about the HD2. (Clearly, some of you feel the same way, as the HD2 sold out in many retail channels and were in short supply at T-Mobile stores on launch day.) Obviously, the size and older Windows Mobile 6.5 will turn off some people, but we think the HD2's power and the fact that it can legitimately double as a multimedia device makes it one of, if not, the best smartphone in T-Mobile's lineup.

HTC HD2

Windows Mobile 6.5 may look like a lemon nowadays, but the T-Mobile HTC HD2 is a cool, delicious glass of the finest lemonade you've ever had. Yes, Microsoft is shifting its focus to Windows Phone 7 and leaving the non-upgradeable HD2 behind. But if you focus on what this phone can do, and ignore the HD2's creaky, older OS - easily done, given HTC's beautiful Sense UI - you'll find a gorgeous, spectacularly powerful smartphone for business and for pleasure. HTC's amazing work here makes the HD2 our Editor's Choice for T-Mobile smartphones. This is one striking phone. The extra-slim HD2 measures 4.74 by 2.64 by 0.43 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.54 ounces, making it a bit longer, wider, and thinner than the iPhone 3GS ($199-$299, ). The HD2 features soft-touch sides, a brushed aluminum back panel, and a 4.3-inch glass capacitive touch screen with 480-by-800-pixel resolution. Dialing numbers was simple. In portrait mode, the on-screen QWERTY keyboard felt just about wide enough for comfortable typing. That's good, since it doesn't always appear in landscape mode (depending on the app). The HD2 is a quad-band EDGE (850/1900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band HSDPA 7.2 (1700/2100 MHz) device with Wi-Fi.

The Touch is dead, long live the Touch2. It's been a while since the Touch range has drawn any attention to itself. HTC have taken advantage of the changeover to Windows Mobile 6.5 to rejuvenate it and adapt a new design. No complaints with respect to the Touch2's finish. The new version is just as convincing here. Nevertheless, the Touch2 does look small compared to the smartphones that have come onto the market recently. Once you turn it on however, the screen immediately comes to colourful life. The resolution is not all that high (320 x 240). Thankfully though, it's smaller than some (in line with the res) and, above all brighter and cleaner. With its small screen and shell, the Touch2 is discreet, but with a nice aluminium look. Some of the buttons are perhaps a little too small however, particularly for receiving and hanging up and HTC have included a stylus, very rare these days. It's a clever move here though. Low res, small screen and Windows Mobile, even in version 6.5, all make for a phone that isn't necessarily supremely compatible with your fingertips. It's no surprise that the usual HTC interface, the famous TouchFlo, doesn't do as well on the Touch2 as on the HD2. Nevertheless it is still by far the best interface on Windows Mobile, and with the best integration.

HTC HD2 (Unlocked)

Whenever we showed the HTC HD2 to someone, they had the same reaction: “Whoa.” That’s because the HD2 looks and feels like a full-fledged mobile Internet device that you can slip in your pocket. Its 4.3-inch screen dwarfs those on the iPhone 3GS and Motorola Droid, and when paired with HTC’s slick Sense interface, you can’t help but be impressed. Thanks to a blazing 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, this device ($629 unlocked through Amazon.com) is so smooth that you almost forget about the lag that has dogged Windows Mobile phones for ages. And, for the first time on any Windows phone, you get multitouch support. But what about the apps? And does HTC’s extreme makeover of Windows Mobile go deep enough to cover up the platform’s other blemishes? At 4.7 x 2.6 inches and 5.5 ounces, the black HTC HD2 is one of the largest smart phones on the market, but it’s a surprising 0.4 inches thin. The iPhone 3GS, by comparison, is 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces. The Motorola Droid is about the same size (4.6 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches) but is an even heftier 6.0 ounces.

This top quality outsized handset is even bigger than the . With plenty of features, it looks set to be the flagship Windows Phone for the end of 2009. With solid hardware and the largest capacitive touchscreen currently available on the outside and the most powerful processor in its range, the 1 GHz SnapDragron, on the inside, the HD2 has what it takes to be fast, responsive and provide users with an intuitive, engaging multimedia interface. After trying it out for ten days, here's our verdict. It's difficult to encounter the HD2 without being impressed by it. From any direction, its size stands out, both longer and wider than any of its competitors. Fortunately, it's incredibly thin, which helps to slim down its silhouette. However, it still weighs a hefty 157 g and is hard to slide into a pocket--HDC includes a warning on the box reminding you to take it out of your pocket before sitting down, but it's not something we'd ever forget about given the size of the device. A classy, elegant but stripped-back design is finished in black and dark grey brushed aluminium. The forbidding exterior, which looks rather masculine, will have a harder job finding favour with female consumers. The HD2 wins you over immediately with its quality finish, which bucks the current trend for phones entirely finished in glossy plastic.

HTC HD2 review: Portrait of a rockstar

Quietly brilliant is what HTC like to call themselves and they've been giving enough proof lately. But allow us to disagree. The last thing to call the HD2 is quiet - the monster of a PocketPC simply screams rock'n'roll. We just got a glimpse of the Snapdragon-powered giant in the preview we posted a few days back. It's now time to let it off the leash and hope we can keep up with its speed. The HTC HD2, a.k.a. Leo, is the company's first Snapdragon-based device and also the first Windows Mobile smartphone ever to have a capacitive touchscreen (read: super thumb-friendly). A capacitive touchscreen on a PocketPC? No way? Well, you'd better get used to it because they are just going to keep on coming. The HTC HD2 may be the first of its kind but the next ones are just around the corner. And what's even more important, a capacitive screen gives WinMo unmatched and absolutely unexpected user friendliness. With the large screen, icons are big, almost huge, and you can easily thumb your way around the menu and apps. We've met the HD2 already and we guess it's ok to cut the civilities short. It's a device that likes to be in the thick of action and we're not paid to keep it idle either. The HD2 promises an exciting ride and it sure has horsepower to spare.

HTC HD2 preview: First look

The dragon in the HTC camp has awoken, ladies and gentlemen, and it's time it shows what it's capable of. Be it a dragon, or a lion, the HTC HD2, codenamed HTC Leo, is truly a spectacular device. It seems to have all modern mobile technologies in its pocket, bridging the gap between phones and tablets. HTC are pushing the boundaries of the impossible by fitting the 4.3-inch screen in a phone smaller than the Toshiba TG01, which was the first Snapdragon-based device ever to be released. HD2 is certainly a feat of engineering and something to really look up to. Now that it has just hit the market, the HD2 is bound to make some serious waves in the high-end smartphones pool and we guess many of you would probably be checking it out this holiday season. And you would be right to do so. Let's go over its impeccable specs sheet one more time. The HTC HD2 most certainly feels great in hand - the quality of the used materials is nice and the slim bezel around the screen is almost as spectacular as the slim profile. For the fist five minutes you can't help but simply sit there and just stare at the amazing screen.
