HTC HD2 review

When Microsoft finally launched Windows Mobile 6.5 earlier this year, there may have been lots of fanfare, but there was little honest excitement. After a tepid showing at MWC in Barcelona followed by the proper launch this October, no one was exactly up in arms over the OS, though support from the big M’s partners was characteristically plentiful. Still, there was nary a ray of light to be seen in the otherwise bleak and basic landscape of handset offerings… until the HD2 came along. In August of this year, HTC showed off what seemed to be one of the few Windows Mobile devices capable of generating honest enthusiasm. The massive, full touchscreen device boasts impressive specs: a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a generous 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 capacitive WVGA touchscreen display, a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, and lots of other bells and whistles. But the centerpiece here isn’t the hardware, it’s HTC’s totally revamped user interface, Sense, which doesn’t just hide Windows Mobile 6.5 — it all but zaps it out of existence. Sadly for Microsoft, that’s the most enticing part of this equation. So, is the HD2’s new face enough to quell the bad vibes of Windows Mobile and make the platform seem viable again, or is that a challenge which takes more than just a coat of paint? We’ve taken a hard look at the phone… so read on to find out.

HTC’s HD2 gets sized up to the competition

We’ve already seen (and written) plenty on the HD2, and we’ve enjoyed our initial experiences with the device — but now someone has finally sized up the massive, Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone with its touchscreen contemporaries… and the differences are downright shocking. Just take a look at this beast next to Apple’s iPod touch (above) or the company’s own Hero — the displays on the older devices seem dwarfed by the HD2’s 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 WVGA screen. There are lots of other revealing pictures in the writeup, but it’s the side-by-side shots that seem most telling to us — this is certainly the direction we’re headed in for mobile devices. Hit the read link and take a full look for yourself.

HTC Touch Pro2 graces Verizon on September 11

Alright, so maybe a square Nokia isn’t your style — we understand. Maybe you’d like something a little more businesslike, something with a little more Exchange ActiveSync flair and a keyboard with room to spare. What you’re looking for, we reckon, is the Touch Pro2 — and now that Sprint and T-Mobile both have it, it’s Verizon’s turn to get real with HTC’s latest QWERTY beast. Knowing full well that this is a businessperson’s dream, HTC and Verizon have gone ahead and stuffed EDGE in there to keep you connected while you’re abroad; otherwise, you’ve got the same WVGA resolution, 3.2 megapixel cam, GPS, and WiFi as the other guys, and just like Sprint, you’re signed up for that all-important 3.5mm headphone jack. Global capability doesn’t come cheap in this case, though: expect to pay $299.99 on a two-year deal before a $100 mail-in rebate.
