HTC HD2 Review

April 6, 2010 – 10:28 am 		Abdul Fattah Ismail

Yesterday, I was fortunate to test drive the new HTC HD2, carried by T-Mobile.  A friend of mine bought the smartphone this weekend, and according to her, demand was very strong.  Many of the T-Mobile shops had sold out as of yesterday afternoon.

First of all, the images have crisp, fluid pixelation, which is perfect for the market’s biggest smartphone screen at 4.3′ on a HD screen.  The navigation platform is borrowed from the Android, so fans of Google have an easy transition.

Phone calls were reliable, although T-Mobile has a reputation of weak connectivity.  My friend also noticed that the call didn’t hang up on the screen an hour afterwards.

The video playback is also flawless, with rich sound.  Transformers I and II are pre-installed for your viewing pleasure.  If you wish to download more videos, try JetFlicks for $9.99/month.  Bing, Barnes and Noble’s eReader, and Blockbuster are also installed on the home drive.

Like the Android, the HD2 has the swipeframe feature for easy picture management.  The camera functionality parallels and exceeds the Iphone system. As I mentioned with the video, pictures are on a higher level.

The battery life is also strong, with regular use lasting 12 hours while continuous usage takes up to four.

My negative has to do with the Windows operating system.  It is not the easiest to navigate between applications.  I also felt that the processor was slow to load at times.

If you are a fan of the Android platform, though, run to your T-Mobile shop this second because they’re flying off the shelves.
