WinMo : Took delivery of my HD2 this morning

Dr. Z · 06-01-2010, 14:09

It is awesome. Totally dwarfs the iPhone in terms of build quality, screen size and quality. iPhone OS is definitely a better UI than winmo/senseui but the fact I can have stuff running in the background just makes the difference for me - a real frustration on the iPhone.

The 1GHz Snapdragon processor is MASSIVELY fast - its like no other handheld I have ever used for speed.

The included 2Gb MicroSD card needs upgrading but otherwise its a fairly complete package.

It's a great little toy

Puts all those iPhone posers to shame too

Looks nice although I don't know too much about the spec. In some ways I do miss a WinMo HTC phone but in others I just like the way the iPhone works. Can't say I like the size much though. The iPhone was quite a step up in size from my old Diamond and I don't think I'd want to go bigger again.

I've been using my HD2 for about a month, and I love it (aside from a few bugs). I've had to buy and download g-alarm as the HD2 alarm is very ropey. I've overslept because of it.

I've had a few hangs, plus I've noticed a few spelling mistakes. It's made my iPod Touch feel small.

I want a HD2 with a keyboard.

Touch Pro2 isn't bad - just love the HD's screen size.

Any good vids of it in action? Looks good though - nice big screen. What's the UI like?

LeperousDust · 07-01-2010, 21:09

Its sense so theyve hidden most things windows related (thank god) I still would rather this awesome hardware with android (which i guess is basically what the nexus is). Only because android seems easier to skin properly and generally quicker...

Me too, but hey, it does the job.

It's annoying when the windows stuff appears, as it looks terrible. UI is more complicated than the iPhone (based on my Touch). The screen is stunning. I cannot say this enough, I'm blown away.
