Personal Experiances of the HTC HD2

Still getting to grips with it, but a few initial thoughts.

Pro's:

Fast - almost no lag on switching applications, very fast rendering of web pages and quick to locate gps satellites.

Gorgeous screen that works well in bright light as well as inside.

Works beautifully with Windows office and outlook

Cons:

Camera - image quality is just acceptable and lack of a dedicated shutter button is an annoyance

Price.

Mixed:

Size - great for two handed operation, awkward one-handed.

Applications - plenty out there but they need searching for - windows marketplace is not great

I think it's quite unfair comparing the iPhone's appstore to the Windows marketplace. Remember that the appstore is all aimed for one type of touchscreen, one general speed of processing, one resolution and one phone. The Windows range of apps has to cater for phones dating back to 2000 and as such, are not made for touchscreens, and even recently made for solely resistive touchscreens or the mixture of resistive and hardware keys.

Bear in mind this is the first capacitive WinMo phone, and especially the first with a 4.3inch WVGA screen.

Better is subjective. If you wish to be productive, then Windows Mobile apps are superior, as it is, at heart, a business-centric OS. If you want entertainment apps, the iPhone apps are superior as it as an entertainment-centric phone.

Also, there are actually more programs for WinMo than for the iPhone.

Hated it!
Sent it back after 5 days. Camera quality was appalling, using flash everyone had blue faces.
Screen just too oversensitive if you just move it, yet other times unresponsive.
Texting was a nightmare, I'm on call 24/7 and you cant reply to texts while in Tesco shopping for example , I'm too busy to have to use 2 hands to text!
Difficult to switch between applications without closing all screens and starting again.
Doesnt give the option to select whether you want to connect wifi or contract, just does it, and would cost a fortune abroad if you didn't watch the connection symbols - my Nokia asks you first.

Doesn't actually do anything my beloved N95 does, apart from a big screen with weather pictures that cant update your location - always unavailable. I went to Middleton on Sea one evening and remained there for 3 days with phone showing snow and it was brilliant sunshine!

The final straw was when I deleted my emails from my phone and they deleted from my pc too!!!! My Nokia asks if you want to delete from phone or phone and server, but not this one, oh no, just delete without warning! What a nightmare!

Cant wait for my Nokia N900

well maybe, but putting a decent user guide in the box would have helped!
And at the price,well sorry but I do think it should work straight out the box. Its supposed to be a business orientated phone, busy business people have better things to do than faff around.
In the few days I had it I had to do a soft reset and then re enter all my email settings, wifi etc  again.
Never ever had to do anything like that before with any other phone, nor have my colleagues.
Seems to be a lot of new firmware and fixes, sorry, but if it don't work, don't release it.

Maybe I was lucky - but my phone worked (and has continued to work) perfectly out of the box. Setting up all connections (email, wifi etc ) took no more than 15 minutes. I have applied all of the hot fixes issued by HTC, but do not feel the need to apply the new ROM (1.48) I am still on 1.43, as it is working very well.
I have been using it since early December, and it is a pleasure to use.

Well? My experiences with phone are "0".All I have to say is all I have to deal with is some members on forum, making fun of poor Quig, cause he can't get "1" yet!!!    I'll get even!!  jk, lol, just joking, I will get you guys!!!
