HTC HD2 Review

HTC's 4.3-inch behemoth proves bigger really is better – until you weave Windows Mobile 6.5 into the mix.

HTC HD2-Review (mit Video)

Das HTC HD2 hatten wir hier schon rauf und runter, sogar mit Scratchtest und in seine Einzelteile zerlegt . Jetzt haben es unsere US-Kollegen in einer sehr ausführlichen Review auf Herz und Nieren geprüft. Fazit: so beeindruckend die Hardware auch...

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

Huge, gorgeous display ; HTC Sense UI ; Slick industrial design

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...

Huge 4.3" 65K-color WVGA glass-covered capacitive touchscreen ; Multi-touch input ; Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional OS with Sense UI ; Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz CPU and 448MB RAM ; Quad-band GSM support ; 3G with HSDPA 7.2Mbps ; Wi-Fi...

It's a pretty large phone ; Poor sunlight legibility ; 65K color limitation of display has color gradients banding ; Card slot under the battery cover ; Disappointing photo and video quality ; No dedicated camera key and no lens cover ; No DivX/XviD...

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...

Review: HTC HD2 Smartphone

Beautiful hardware mated with an atrocious OS. Meet the HD2

A screen that screams, “Watch something awesome on me!” Body of an SI swimsuit model. Easy to navigate user interface, and fancy interactive wallpaper

Came loaded with WinMo 6.5 — what is this, 2009? Jumpy touchscreen and a camera that over-promises and under-delivers

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...

Stunning 4.3-inch display ; Fantastic multimedia capabilities

Runs now-outdated Windows Mobile 6.5 ; Performance can be sluggish

Gorgeous hardware and superb specs are marred by the HTC HD2's soon-to-be-obsolete operating system.

HTC HD2 review

Editors' note: Portions of this review were taken from our evaluation of the unlocked HTC HD2 since the two devices are similar.

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...

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 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.

HTC HD2 (T-Mobile)

The HTC HD2 is a beautifully crafted smartphone with a stunning 4.3-inch screen. It's a shame about the dead-end Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, because this one is a keeper.

Stunning screen. Spectacular video playback. Fast CPU. Smooth HTC Sense interface layer. Slim design feels expensive.

Menus and dialogs can be difficult. Not upgradeable to Windows Phone 7 Series. Battery life could be longer.

Windows Mobile 6.5 and Conclusions Let's address the concerns surrounding Windows Mobile. On the one hand, Windows Mobile 6.5 is a dead OS with poor task management, crappy built-in apps, uneven multimedia performance, and a clunky UI riddled with...

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...

The HTC HD2 is the most impressive T-Mobile smartphone we've tested to date, by a long shot. Pity about its clunky, dead-end Windows Mobile 6.5 OS.
