HTC HD2 expertrecensioner
Pros: The first thing you notice about this phone is the big screen. It is brilliant. The second thing is the speed of the QUALCOMM processor and the speed of the scrolling which is light years ahead of the iPhone. Size is also a big benefit despite the large screen. It is light easy to carry and slips away nicely into a pocket or bag.
Cons: Battery life sucks in more ways than one. Running this phone side by side with an iPhone, the iPhone won hands down when accessing emails the web and the occasional application. Ideally, this phone needs a kill switch that turns applications off 60 seconds after you have left them. As for Microsoft, there appears to be a deliberate attempt to snub Australia consumers. It does this with Media Centre, Windows 7, and now with Windows Mobile.

The good: The HTC HD2 features a brilliant and massive 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen with multitouch support. HTC Sense offers a more user-friendly and customizable user experience. The smartphone is also equipped with a 1GHz processor and 5-megapixel camera.
The bad: The HD2 is huge. Speakerphone quality was somewhat poor. No U.S. 3G support on the unlocked version.
The bottom line: The HTC HD2 is simply the best Windows Mobile phone out there, but its appeal could be hampered by its size and the upcoming Windows Phone 7 series.
