HTC Touch HD (Unlocked)

The HTC Touch HD boasts a spacious and sharp 3.8-inch WVGA touch screen, and offers integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The Windows Mobile smartphone also includes the Opera Web browser, YouTube app, and a 5-megapixel camera

The Touch HD doesn't support U.S. 3G bands. The smartphone can be sluggish at times, and the video performance is disappointing. It's also expensive

The HTC Touch HD dazzles with its large, high-resolution touch screen, but the smartphone's feature set and performance is average at best. You can get much more for your money.

HTC Touch HD

Despite its reasonable bulk, the HTC Touch HD is a thing of beauty, most emphasised by its cracking HD display.

One of the most vibrant displays we have cast our eyes on.

The touch-screen interface is not quite what we have come to expect.

HTC Touch HD

By Brandon Miniman

Super sexy design ; Has a large, high resolution screen ; Everything is finger-friendly ; Ships with an 8GB microSD card ; Includes 3.5mm headphone jack ; Solid performance ; Haptic feedback on hardware buttons and some icons ; Pouch/screen protector ...

Feels big in hand ; Poor one-handed usability ; Lacks D-Pad and programmable buttons ; Lacks US 3G bands ; Cannot re-orient display to landscape permanently ; Still no Flash support in Opera Mobile ; Needs a more robust built-in video player ; microSD ...

As I mentioned, for the business user, the Touch HD is just not practical. Instead, business users should consider the HTC Touch Pro or SE XPERIA X1. If you're looking for the most flashy/sexy/gorgeous (and capable) multimedia and internet browsing ...

HTC Touch HD Review

By PhoneArena Team

Let's analyze its name – Touch HD. The first word shows that the device belongs to the Touch series, known for its optimized interface in order to be finger-friendly. But what does HD stand ......

3.8" WVGA display, Very good size and construction, This is the phone for document viewing

Currently, it cannot play quality videos, Weak display performance in direct sunlight, More lag in the menu compared to Touch Diamond

We were excited when we started testing the phone, hoping that we'll see something great and revolutionary. Sadly, the reality is different. Hardware-wise, the Touch HD is impressive with a large display and excellent build quality. As a phone, it ...
