HTC HD2 for T-Mobile Review

2010-04-30T23:44:14Z

At long last, one of the greatest Windows Mobile powered devices to have ever been conceived has finally touched down to an awaiting market that has been starved from experiencing a truly mammoth smartphone. T-Mobile has been fortunate enough to lay claim to possibly one of the last great Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphones of our time with the HTC HD2 and will surely have a huge following. Interestingly enough, it’s entering the US market, which rarely sees any major standouts in the Windows Mobile front; possibly except for the HTC Touch Pro2. With Android at full steam, the HTC HD2 is looking to make a stand because there is just more to it than meets the eye.

Which to choose: HTC HD2 vs. Nexus One, a Superphone Smackdown. If you’re a T-Mobile U.S. customer, or a European smartphone lover, it’s not easy choosing between the HTC HD2 and the Nexus One.

Review: T-Mobile HTC HD2 Travel Apps

2010-04-09T23:16:38Z

I recently borrowed the new T-Mobile HTC HD2 smartphone and, after about two weeks of playing around with it, I have to say: I have a big fat crush. The screen—an astounding 4.3″—is insanely sharp. In fact, I happened to receive the phone the day before hopping on a bus for 4 1/2 hours. For 2 1/2 of those hours, I entertained myself by watching Transformers…on the phone. Aside from the crystal clear image blowing me away, let me point this out: the phone’s battery was still half full by the end of the movie. Crazy!

HD2 tips & tricks: Watch your movies using the HTC media player

2010-04-05T18:28:34Z

I am really enjoying my T-Mobile HD2 and after a couple of days with the lock screen freezing up and device locking up I have had two and a half days of rock solid stability. I think it may have been one of the 20+ 3rd party apps I loaded right away, but it may also have been due to the Contact Favorites bug since I have had these favorites synced across multiple devices in the past. Every review I have read has been quite positive of the device, even with Windows Mobile 6.5 powering it so as much as some people complain the operating system is still a viable choice that does offer a high level of customizability. I just read a very good review over on PC Magazine that was thorough and truthful. One thing mentioned by the reviewer was the apparent inability to view video files, other than the included Transformers movies, with the slick and simplified HTC media player. I wanted to post another tips & tricks article for the HD2 since you can indeed use this player.

Before we begin by announcing the winner of the T-Mobile HTC HD2, let’s pour a little out for the smartphone-less. We feel for you. We do. We went through a whole lot of tales of woe. Lots of people literally deserved phones for the trouble they’ve been through and I’m going to encourage T-Mo to go through the comments to address some of the T-Mo customers who feel they’re being unfairly treated. However, we had to pick one and we picked a young man with a sad phone and an even sadder tale of woe.

HTC HD2 Once Again Available from T-Mobile

T-Mobile USA launched the HTC HD2 last week, but as a sign of how eagerly anticipated this Windows phone was, it sold out within hours. However, this high-end model is now available again.

I have been waffling back and forth over whether or not to buy an HD2 on T-Mobile, but when they announced it would only cost $199.99 that made a decision a lot easier.

As you probably noticed the HTC HD2 is now available at T-Mobile for the U.S. people and although we were expecting the sales to be very low, actually, T-Mo is very happy with how things went.
