I will keep this brief. I have now owned this HTC for 6 months and I am just amazed at it. I have never owned such a device! How I have resisted throwing it hard against a wall in all that time I do not know.

I am not technophobic but nor do I wishy to spend hours updating software and re setting all of my preferences, this phone seems to demand such commitment.

it is slow!! - sometimes there is a gap of 30 seconds between pressing the call button and the call taking place by which time I may have forgotten why I was making the call in the first place!

The battery live is dire - its now 1300 and the phone was on charge all night and the battery is showing 46%!! OK thats with WiFi running but come on!!

To close programs you have to use task manager (as suggested by HTC support) why can't I just close a program directly??

Ok yes the screen is lovely and the feel of the device is nice but that's it. Keep away is my advice. Get an android phone or just accept that an iPhone is probably better, I have reached that conclusion. People who I know who have an iPhone seem less likely to throw theirs at the wall and are less likely to be found in a state of near despair because their phone won'rt allow tham to make (or indeed end) a phone call!

It's fast, the contacts integrate well with e-mail and fb etc. The e-mail preview is great. Had one hardware issue and got the phone replaced. Some things a bit technical such as setting up wifi printing. Preinstalled copilot 15 day trail only.

I have been using the phone now for 6 months. In some ways it is good, clear screen and high specification. I would score the phone highly but it is badly let down by the software. The phone now needs an almost daily reset through lock ups, freezing and slow down. The bluetooth is flakey when in car mode and linking in to wi-Fi unreliable. I have to say that I have found it to be a big disappointment and an unreliable phone. It's a shame as it promises a lot but fails to deliver reliably. I wish I had gone for the I-Phone. The .Microsoft software is unnacceptably bad and lets HTC and the user experience down. I would avoid this at all cost


1 out of 5 stars HTC HD2 - terrible   June 21, 2010

Aside from the large bright screen and snapdragon processor, i have nothing positive to say about the phone. The Windows 6.5 Operating System is slow and buggy, and you need to update many of the feature from day 1.

Also, you cannot dual boot the phone with Google Android which is frustrating.
I would not purchase this phone again.

I have had this phone for a couple of months now and i think it is fantastic. I upgraded from the htc hd after the screen on it broke and i must say there is just no comparison. Although this phone is promoted as a business phone i would say it is more suitable as a personal phone.
The pros:
-Excellent, bright, sharp and huge screen.
-Easy to transfer music as uses windows media player.
-Camera can produce really good photos with a really bright flash.
-Internet browsing is good with the option of two installed browsers.
-Really smart predictive text.
-HTC sense software laid over the top of windows mobile is great.
-Microsoft office programs
-Sat nav
-Quick processor meaning pages load quickly in internet and ability to do more than one thing at a time with the phone.
-Social networking programs

The cons:
-Music player when using it through sense software skips sometimes although this seems to have goten better with use. Think there is a hotfix but as the problem is very intermittent now have not tried this yet.
-Dark shots with the camera dont always come out and can be blurry.
-Battery life is poor, has to be charged every night. Altough i do use the mp3 player for about 1-2 hours each day have it checking emails, updating the weather and a bit of texting as well.
-Windows market place is very poor, small range of apps.

Overall verdict:
The hd2 is an absolutely brilliant and powerful phone. It can do the standard functions of a mobile phone, keep you in touch with you facebook/twitter etc, tell you where you are and direct you if you install sat nav software (really this should be included on the phone), view and edit microsoft office files, browse the internet, take photos, listen to music, mp3 and radio and more. Dont get me wrong it has its little niggles but with a phone that does so much there is bound to small gripes. People who have said the texting is slow, yes this may be true if in comparison to a standard keyed phoned but for a touch phone i think it is really good once you get used to the htc predictive text. If your someone looking for a business phone who requires writing lots of emails i would then say this not the best phone, you would need a phone with a full qwerty keypad. HTC's sense software is really good at covering windows mobile horrible interface and it is a shame where the phone reverts back to windows style menus but this is a gripe with windows mobile and not the phone itself. I would highly recommend this phone and for the iphone doubters, i have a friend who owns an iphone and was really impressed by the hd2 and would upgrade to this phone from the iphone.
