HTC HD2 for T-Mobile Review
Share:
For more details, see our review of the HTC HD2 for Europe, which is almost identical.
Introduction:
 |
 |
The package contains:
• HTC HD2
• Wall Charger
• USB Cable
• Stereo Headset
• Start Guide
Design:
This version is identical to the European version in almost every way, but there is no denying that it exudes one of the best industrial designs seen on any phone to date. Although it may prove to be one massive device when holding in the hand, its thin profile makes it equally impressive due to the fact that it holds within itself a mind-boggling large display. The HTC HD2 gets treated to some fine material that adds to its overall appeal, durability, and workmanship – which all goes to show the impressive nature of this smartphone. If there is anything that the HTC HD2 can claim for itself in terms of design, it has to be that it truly embodies the essence of what near perfection looks like.

This version is of the HTC HD2 is identical to the European version in almost every way | ||
Feasting your eyes to its larger than life 4.3” WVGA capacitive touchscreen with support for 65k colors is utterly extraordinary and breath taking at first – there are just very few devices that are capable of captivating the attention of people like the HD2. Every inch of the display explodes with rich detail and subtle colors that will leave everyone gazing at it for the first time to see their jaw drop to the floor. Aside from the volume rocker, the only other dedicated hardware buttons are found below the display – which have a pretty distinct feel to them. On the rear, you can find the 5-megapixel auto-focusing camera with dual-LED flash and the speaker phone found next to it. After removing the metallic back cover, you gain access to the battery, SIM card slot, and microSD slot.

Wow. I can't believe this review was published. I mean, great phone, but the article reads like a 7 year old wrote it. Misspellings are one thing, but the run on sentences, wrong words, poor grammar...just awful to read.

You're a real idiot. Who cares how other people type? Mostly people who wish people thought they were smart. Go back to school where spelling and grammar matter dousche.

Alas, it is always the backwoods uneducated hicks that insist that spelling and grammar don't matter. When you fail at English, you leave the perception that your intelligence lacks, and your credibility falters as a result. When you are a professional business and/or blog, it is especially noticeable. Your statement telling tedkord to go back to school further highlights your disdain for actual education, as well as your need for it. And it's spelled "douche."

hahaha, moron, you spelled douche incorrectly. You go back to school, maybe you can learn/relearn how important grammar and writing is.

The idiot is you and perhaps you are not out of elementary school yet. If there is something important is to speak and write in an elegant and simple manner, attributes that you do not have.

The T-Mobile (US) version of the HD2 is NOT "exactly like the european version in every way"....the US model has much more ROM memory available, and the shell is 1.5mm taller than the euro model, which can obviously make a big difference when it comes to cases, mounts, and other accessories.

Great phone but T-mobile's 3G network sucks! I just returned my phone back to T-mobile - the phone was not able to keep with simple e-mail, internet browsing or weather updates! The data connection was turning off all the time, I had to constantly reset it so I can view a web site or send/recieve an e-mail. It's a shame that T-Mobile would not fix it's network.

I actually don't have any real problems with t-mobile's data network. Web pages and emails work fine, no need to reset any data. I think the phone is the problem. I've used tmobile's 3g data with the g1, the cliq, my nokia n900, EDGE data with my n900 and cliq and an E71, and regular GPRS data with a Sony Ericsson m600i and never had a data reset problem. May be the phone. T-Mobile 3g coverage does suck balls outside of major metropolitan areas though.

I bought a total of 4 phones and they all did that at various times, then I looked online for help and found out that it is a common issue with T-mobile! I called cust. support and was told that there is no solution!!! Hello AT&T!

Uhhh, where the HELL have you been for the past month and a half?!?!?! The HD2 has been selling like crazy. They can't even keep it in stock enough. And it's called promtional, or advertisement. Duh.

too bad it still runs windows mobile and doesnt have half the specs of the EVO, this phone will bow to the android powered giant of the EVO

Yeah... The only thing better on the EVO is the camera. All the other specs of the HD2 are better. Just saying.

(That's according to the stats on this website, by the way.)

Cool phone but a little to big for my taste. Its like between a tablet and a normal cell phone.

It is funny to hear/read about the whinings of people on how a phone or network sucks. EVERY phone has at least 0.1% chance of malfunctioning/being defective. It happens. It does not mean the phone sucks. Obviously, this is the greatest WINDOWS phone of all time. Wish it had ANDROID 2.1 instead....hmmm, I wonder if it could be done. Also, every network has issues somewhere in the U.S. It happens, oh well. Cell phones and providers are not perfect. In the terms and conditions of each prospective carrier lies the writing that indicates that basically service is not guaranteed to work at all times. Luckily, where I live all 4 major carriers work great, and I live in a town of under 100k people.
