HTC HD2 is a fully featured windows mobile phone for those people who love to use Microsoft products wherever they go. Experts agree that it is one of the greatest windows mobile phone. The dimensions are 67 x 121 x 11mm which definitely persuades us to call it a thinner phone and the weight is 157g. The mobile phoone has a massive structure and features a Li-Ion battery which supports 380 minutes of talk time and 490 hours of standby time.

The large 4.3 inches touch screen makes HTC HD2, a real hot mobile phone. The small icons of windows mobile operating system can be touch activated without any hassle with the huge screen. The Windows mobile icons designed for poking with the stylus can now be poked with fingers because of the large capacitive screen. Thanks to the small bezel around the screen, the touch screen doesn¡¯t look unhandy and operates very smoothly though it is considerably large.

At the back of HTC HD2, you will find a 5MP camera with dual LED flash. The software has a special blend of photo management utilities which at the first look may overrule your bulky digital camera. However, when you look at the video recording capabilities, you will be disappointed with HTC HD2. As far as call quality is concerned, HD2 performs well with its solid speakers.

The outdated window media player has been changed into a new one which is completely refreshed with its own variations, and the video player also performs impressively with brilliant color displaying.

The real surprise of HTC HD2is not the hardware, but the user interface used. Many flaws of windows mobile operating system are disguised and HTC presents a nice Sense interface which is loaded with software and utilities that makes it a real pleasure when using the mobile phone. The polished style and function of the interface gives a new face to the existing application widgets like twitter, footprints and the like.

The interface surprises you even further when you start using the QWERTY keyboard. It can be said that HTC HD2 has neared the touch screen experience of Apple iPhone, thanks to the massive processor that almost eliminates lag time. SMS, MMS and emails can be sent easily using relevant editors on the phone. The phone dialer component is another attractive feature that is really considerate. HTC makes another change to the windows mobile feel by including opera mobile alongside internet explorer The solid browser supports flash content and it is handsome. Several organizer applications are also modified in the HTC HD2, giving a complete new look.

The accelerameter in HTC HD2 can change orientation modes when you rotate the phone and the proximity sensor will automatically lock the keypad when you are talking on the phone. Moreover, some menus such as pinching for zooming can be activated through the multi touch gestures .

Even though HTC has done much to hide the defects of windows mobile 6.5 operating system, there are still perceptible delays that annoy smartphone users and certain windows mobile apps make the phone run slowly even with the most responsive Sense interface.
