The Phone looks nice and sleek, It may look Chunky when you see the image, but its slimmer then the iphone :) The screen is perfect for browsing the internet and the response is great (even While using Mobile internet) I have used other smart phones, Nokia N97, Iphone and the browsing isn’t the...

It probably isn't fair for me to write a review after only owning the phone for two days but I figure with all the neggative press it's been getting amongst the "average joe" user I thought I'd try and brighten things up (hope I'm not jinxing my future experience!). I... Read the full review →

I purchased the T-Mo verison of the HD2 specifically because I was planning on switching to Canadian carrier Wind Mobile. After reading all the reviews of the European version, I was still stunned at how thin the HD2 is in person. The build quality is top notch. It feels like a solid piece of... Read the full review →
Ok first of all I am coming from a jail broken iPhone, with expectations for both business and personal use. So there will be comparisons. First impression was WOW this is a well built phone with an incredible screen. Starting up it felt very familiar but different. The sense UI can carry the... Read the full review →
I'm not a fan of the physical keyboard. If there's no better option I'll use it but since the 1st gen iPhone, the soft keyboard's ability to know what I wanted to type is much better than the hard keyboards ability to figure out which of the tiny keys my oversized fingers were...

I love this phone. Of course I used with the Windows Mobile 6.5 until I got my next phone then I installed an Android Rom onto it. It is my second phone and with me at all times. Mostly for the apps though. Read the full review →

The HTC HD2. I was completely impressed by reviews, and hands on by the mobile godz. The huge touchscreen and hackability of Windows lured me to picking one up on launch day. Big mistake. After literally 45 seconds i was unimpressed. Unfortunately I didn't return it quick enough which led to a... Read the full review →

This is definitely the best Windows Phone I've used. As a piece of hardware it is really beautiful. HTC's software does an admirable job of hiding most of WinMo 6.5's warts. The hardware: The screen is really big and beautiful. Super sharp, vivid colors. 480 x 800 resolution is great.... Read the full review →

Great phone if you are looking to put Android on it otherwise better off getting the HD7. Phone is gorgeous and incredibly fast with Android on it though. Loved every minute I had with it. Read the full review →

Upgraded it to Android 2.3; way better than Windows Mobile 6.5 although it did lose a bit in battery life. It is really fast with Android and I love the 4.3" screen. Read the full review →

The HTC HD2 is the flagship Windows Phone, with some impressive specs. Launched in Europe in November 2009, it won't reach the North America market until well into 2010. There's a lot to boast about, and a few pitfalls to consider. But will the HD2 win you over? Hardware But let's... Read the full review →

Out of the box it's pretty poor, but with CM7 Android it's in another league!!! Read the full review →
Since I plugged my AT&T 3G Card in my Touch HD2, I have yet found time to use my iPhone… Elegant, Fast, with a brilliant UI, the Touch HD2 is really something that I was expecting for a very long time in the Window Phone world.
For folks who want to stay on the platform but want to run as far away from the stock experience as possible, the HD2 is the answer. Actually, you could say it's "the answer" for Windows Mobile 6.5, period -- this is easily the best WinMo device ever made, with world-beating hardware and a spec sheet that'd make any geek drool. Ultimately, though, it's going to take a thorough revamping of the core to make even the best "coachbuilt" WinMo-based HTC phone an easy recommendation, and that requires a commitment on Microsoft's part that we haven't yet seen
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.
