New Cell Phones

The HTC HD2 cell phone is really fast. The 1GHz processor does it’s job. The screen resolution is high and the screen size is big enough to surf the web with comfort, The touch screen is clear, easy to read and sensitive. You can set the phone up as a wireless router, and connect to it with your laptop, using the phone’s 3g internet connection.

The HTC HD2 cell phone has some nice touches. Hook it up to a laptop or PC and it offers you 3 clear options: use phone’s internet connection as modem, use phone as mass-storage device (youe phone literally appears as a USB storage device, making file transfers very easy), or synchronise device with PC.

This is one fantastic phone!! I have had many Windows Mobile phones before but always been disappointed. This is different, the screen is awesome, the in-built GPS is incredible and CoPilot live means I have ditched my TomTom in the car now. Battery life is OK, lasts about a day and a half but because it has a USB connecter you can plug it in pretty much anywhere.

The interface is as good if not better than the iPhone and it is really easy to live with. The onscreen keyboard is good but not as good as a slide out keyboard, which is the only thing missing – it would add weight though so it is swings and roundabouts I guess.

Rather than repeat what everyone else has said, I’ll just dive straight in with my favourite 10 features:

1 – GPS is incredibly fast. Picks up a strong signal within seconds, which is unusually quick for a phone.
2 – There are thousands of apps out there for literally everything you could need, it just takes a little more searching to find them than it might with Apple.
3 – 1GHz processor and plenty of RAM makes it super fast – no waiting for anything.
4 – Auto dims and locks screen when it senses it is near your ear so no accidental button bashing, but lights up instantly when you need it.
5 – Incredibly responsive and accurate capacitive multi touch screen (pinch action zooming etc), which is huge (great for media and internet browsing).
6 – Integrated with social networking – the contacts list can actually be set to keep updated with Facebook profile pictures and statuses.
7 – Size isn’t too big, which was one thing I had worried about before purchase.
8 – Internet browsing on this phone on T-mobile has actually been FASTER than browsing at home through 20Mbps broadband on a 3 month old $800 PC, and easy too.
9 – Personalisation is a big thing on this phone, with animated weather on the home screen that automatically sets itself to your current location, easy access e-mail, a great functional Calendar (actually Outlook with a HTC makeover), Twitter, Facebook etc.
10 – Big improvement over other HTC phones in speaker volume and also with HTC sense (touchflo 3D) – I’ve yet to see a windows mobile menu, so we get the functionality without the hideous Microsoft set up.

It is quite simply a pleasure to use. Powerful, simple and free of any frustration.

HTC HD2 cell phone Pros:

- The design and build is very high quality
- HTC has hidden some of the Microsoft’s antiquated software with its own user interface which is easy to use and looks very stylish – in particular the media player, text & e-mail, pictures & video and Internet.
- The speed of the machine is impressive, scrolling through pictures & watching videos are fast and smooth.
- The camera is easy to use and so far the results are fine although not as good as a dedicated point and shoot.
- The FM radio is good quality outside where there is reception. In the office it is just white noise – which is the same on any FM radio.
- Surfing the web is very easy with the iphone finger gestures for zooming in & out.

HTC HD2 cell phone Cons:

- Anything to do with Microsoft – which may change with WM version 7
- Some of the program navigation needs improving
- The on screen keypad will never be as good as a keyboard or buttons. It is easy to make a mistake – but you soon get used to it.
- It’s not a laptop so don’t use it to produce MS Office documents. Viewing and minor editing however is very useful.
- Where are the apps – like the ones available for the iphone – again, a failing of Microsoft.
