HTC HD2 has it all to be a winner groundbreaking hardware, inventive software, high performance and solid design. HTC have struck the right balance with the HD2 and they are certainly giving the competition a run for their money. But we didnt and we dont suppose Snapdragons are going to become mainstream any time soon. So from a broader perspective, Windows Mobile is still just another runner-up in the run for the ultimate all-touch smartphone. The impressive user-experience on the HD2 is hardly indicative for the OS by itself. read more →

In the auto industry, there's a concept known as coachbuilding by world-renowned firms like Bertone, Zagato, Karmann, and Fisker (yes, of Karma fame) -- a nearly century-old boutique industry of brilliant designers and craftsmen taking existing vehicles from big manufacturers and turning them into beautiful, customized works of art. The end results are almost always more stunning than the starting point (take Pininfarina's Enzo-bodied P4/5 , for instance), a testament to the spectacular creativity, talent, and flexibility of both the coachbuilder and the stock car's components. read more →
- Huge, gorgeous display
- HTC Sense UI
- Slick industrial design
- Outdated Windows Mobile OS
- Lack of compelling applications
- Could be too big for some users
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. read more →
- Stunning screen
- Spectacular video playback
- Fast CPU
- Smooth HTC Sense interface layer
- Slim design feels expensive.
The HTC HD2 smashes past the iPhone in terms of raw processing speed and the ability to handle Flash video.
It dwarfs the Hero with a more responsive screen and its Wi-Fi routing ability too, and is far better than anything Samsung, LG or Nokia have come up with so far. read more →
- Responsive touchscreen
- Fast processor
- Decent range of media playback options
- Dual LED flash for the camera
- Sense integration into Windows Mobile
- Screen is far too big for some
- Messaging is fiddly
- Phone can still slow down on the odd occasion
- Opera doesn't support Flash playback
- Poor camera
We made quite a few calls with the HTC HD2 and our conclusion is its performance is average. Sound is passable in terms of loudness, although there´s room for improvement. We could hear constant static, quality was a far cry from being the best we´d evidenced and voices were slightly muffled. Our callers said we sounded a bit louder and sharper, but more intelligible. It´s a good thing the HD2 manages to isolate environmental noises, meaning the only thing your callers hear is your voice. read more →
