Reviews of HTC HD2 MID (Windows Phone)
Gizmodo and CNET get the multi-touch HTC HD2 in their hands. The device gets quite interesting perceptions with its capacitive screen appreciated by all.
Gizmodo loves its looks, the hardware but sees it as a beauty with lesser brains(software). Have a look at their review synopsis:
- The 4.3-inch glass display is pure bliss.
- Actually, no, this whole handset is bliss. If they were sitting right here, right now, I would kiss the hardware designers on the mouth. With tongue.
- Battery life isn’t as atrocious as you’d expect it to be.
- HTC Sense does extensive damage control on Windows Mobile, making this the best WinMo experience out there right now.
- Not to beat a dead horse, but it’s still Windows Mobile
For CNET, its a mixed reaction:
The Good:
What really made us drench the HD2 in tears of joy, however, is the fact that the touchscreen is of the capacitive variety, so you don’t have to apply pressure to make it work. The touchscreen is responsive and a pleasure to use, especially in the parts of the user interface customised by HTC.
The Bad:
In many places, features are duplicated, with an HTC version and a Windows Mobile version. This left us bewildered at times, especially when our task wasn’t straightforward. We found that videos might open in HTC’s player or they might default to the dated-looking Windows Media Player.
In some cases, problems arise because HTC hasn’t gone far enough — its user-interface tweaks feel cosmetic. For example, emails look great on the home screen, and they’re fun to flip through with the swipe of a finger, but only a few lines are displayed.
