If you don’t want Opera to be the default browser, you can easily uncheck this option in Opera’s settings page.
First off, the HD2 comes with Transformers part 1 and 2 preloaded on the included 16Gb memory card. These are full 800×480 resolution, and look fantastic on the HD2’s screen. These movies are sure to impress.
The T-Mobile HD2 also gets a Documents tab where you can flick through documents on your device as well as attachments in your emails. The attachments don’t show thumbnails unless you’ve specified to download them.
Warning: Some other reviewers may complain about the HD2 occasionally slowing down or freezing at times. Be sure to check out page 4 where we discuss some bugs HTC overlooked and how you can easily avoid/fix them in order to make your HD2 rock solid and fantastic.
Movies are great, but how about some TV too? The HD comes with Mobi TV and 30 days of free service. After the free trial, continued service will cost an additional $10 per month.
The HD2 has a 5MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash. The camera application is the same as found on newer HTC devices (like the Touch Pro2), but has an option for flash. The camera app performance is excellent. Above is a night shot taken using the flash.
T-Mobile includes an instant messaging client that supports AIM, Google Talk, Windows Live, MySpace IM, and Yahoo. If you want a better Windows Live Messenger client, the native Windows Mobile version is also included in a different folder.
In many applications, the HD2 makes use of multitouch to pinch and zoom.
For most device settings, you can stay in the comfort of HTC Sense without going into the Windows Mobile interface. This is all well and good unless the Sense UI freezes and then you can’t do anything.
ZuneDroid: How I Gave Up My Zune for an Android.
In this video (taken from the European HD2 review), we cover HTC Sense in depth. As you can see, HTC has essentially built an entirely new interface on top of Windows Mobile.
HTC’s Sense interface has been hugely revamped for the HD2 and sports a very deep integration with Windows Mobile.
HTC has replaced the usual Windows Mobile text messaging application with their own. This one looks great, and has some nice features, but unfortunately it does not work with Microsoft Voice Command.
HTC’s Compact Qwerty keyboard is thankfully back.
The HD2’s Sense UI has some heavily integrated Facebook features. From the settings or "All People" section you can set up your device with your Facebook account. Then you’ll be able to link your friends in your contacts listing with your friends in Facebook.

Who cares if it won’t be upgradable to Windows Phone 7? This phone has it all!
Flipping over to the back, we reveal the 5.0MP camera with the dual LED flash. The back battery cover is real brushed metal. Above and below the brushed metal is a rubbery texture that makes the device feel secure in hand.
PURCHASING.
BATTERY LIFE.
Outdoor shots can look very nice if you get the lighting right and are going to use the image at a lower downsampled resolution. If you click on the image to get the original, you won’t be very impressed.
The multimedia experience on the HD2 is amazing. Every time I show anyone one of the Transformers movies playing on the HD2’s screen, all they have to say, after a short pause, is "WOW!"
Here’s a tour of the hardware features.
WHAT’S HOT.
On the left side of the device we have the volume rocker.
At the top of the device you see an ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, the speaker grill, and T-Mobile logo. Inside the speaker grill on the left corner is an LED indicator light.
MULTITOUCH.
The device comes with a silicone rubber case with big circular textures and an HTC logo on the back.
INTRODUCTION.
Up next.
After you get tired of Transformers, you can easily buy or rent new movies from Blockbuster. The device includes a Blockbuster store where you can browse, search for, rent and buy movies. You can also order movies from the Blockbuster website and download them on your device. When you create an account with Blockbuster, you’ll also get two free movie rentals (Forrest Gump and Ferris Buellers Day Off), one month free Blockbuster by Mail service, one night free rental from Blockbuster Express, one free BlueRay movie rental, and 50% off one night rental from Blockbuster OnDemand. Movies that you rent from the Blockbuster app can only be watched where you first started downloading it. However, movies that you buy can be watched on your PC and a variety of other set-top devices that support Blockbuster movies. Yes, Blockbuster’s services are similar to NetFlix these days, however, Blockbuster has the advantage of offering new releases for rent as soon as they’re available.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX.
Maybe you’d rather read a book? No problem. The HD2 also comes with the Barnes & Noble eReader. This application lets you download any of the eBooks available on Barnes & Noble. It also syncs with your Nook eReader, and even lets you download eBooks you may have purchased back in 2001 when Barnes & Noble originally started selling eBooks for the Pocket PCs and Windows Tablet PCs of the time. The BN eReader isn’t as advanced as the eBook readers from long ago as it does not have a dictionary look-up feature, bookmarking, highlighting, or text-to-speech reading.
Next up is the text messaging application. While HTC’s version looks great and is certainly functional, it disable’s Voice Command’s ability to read incoming text messages to you. There’s a fix for that too. If you don’t care about having your text messages read to you, then don’t worry about it.
Another great feature that HTC has added is the consolidation of Internet Favorites! They sync with Windows Mobile Device Center on the desktop, but are also available in both Opera and Internet Explorer. That means if you want to browse the web from Opera for some sites or Internet Explorer for other sites, your favorites listing is the same in both places. This is extremely useful!
The right side of the device is bare except for a little notch to help you open the battery cover.
HTC SENSE.
The HD2 includes a full version of Guitar Hero Mobile. This is a great addition and a lot of fun. You also get demo versions of Prince of Persia HD, Ferrari GT Evolution, Millionaire 2010, and Tetris.
OVERALL IMPRESSION.
Let’s look at the T-Mobile HD2 in summary… For $200 you get the best Windows Phone to date, with a beautiful large multitouch screen, extremely fast processor, tons of RAM, 17Gb of storage, 5Mp camera w/ bright flash, full web browsing with Flash support, free better-than-DVD quality copies of Transformers 1 and 2 movies, a couple free Blockbuster movie rentals, a few other Blockbuster discount promotions, Barnes & Nobel eBooks, MobiTV, FM Radio, Guitar Hero, 6 months of free Gogo Inflight Internet, great Facebook integration, and extremely high speed 3G internet speeds (depending on where you live). That sounds like a pretty awesome deal to me!

Outdoor direct sunlight visibility is not fantastic, but certainly usable.
video (taken from the European HD2 review), we take a deep look at the internet experience on the HD2, and compare it to the iPhone 3GS. We find that remarkably, the HD2’s internet experience is as good as it is on the iPhone, thanks in part to the huge screen and super fast page load times.
Near the red soft reset button is the microSD slot. The T-Mobile HD2 comes with a 16GB Micro SD card pre-installed and pre-loaded with Transformers 1 and 2.
Capacitive touch on Windows Mobile Sense UI is deeply integrated Hardware is thin, gorgeous, and made from quality materials Snapdragon is fast Multitouch is smoothly implemented Huge screen is beautiful and crisp 16GB Micro SD included Transformers 1 and 2 high resolution movies included Six months free Inflight Internet Guitar Hero included Blockbuster movie rentals Barnes & Nobel eReader Microsoft Voice Command Includes 3.5mm headphone jack Great price 5MP Camera with Flash is very fast Good battery life The nation’s actual fastest 3G network.
HTC’s full Qwerty keyboard is also available.
In this video (taken from the HD2 review), we go through the programs that can utilize the pinch to zoom feature. These include: Office Mobile apps, photo gallery, PDF reader, Outlook, NewsBreak, Internet Explorer mobile, Remote Desktop Mobile, and Google Maps.
While many of the software features in T-Mobile’s HD2 have been brought over from the European HD2 that you’re already familiar with, T-Mobile has added a variety of great features that T-Mobile users can be excited about.
You can even access your friends’ photo galleries from their contact card.
T-Mobile also includes the Facebook app for Windows Mobile. You’ll see there’s also some heavy Facebook integration in the Sense UI too.
SETTINGS.
The HTC HD2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor running at 1024MHz. It has 1GB ROM, 576MB RAM, and has a microSD/HC expansion slot for added memory. The capacitive touchscreen is 4.3" and is WVGA 480×800 resolution. It’s a quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900) phone with dualband UMTS (1700/2100) with HSDPA and HSUPA. It also has assisted GPS, WiFi b/g (n can be enabled with a registry hack), Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, USB 2.0, an accelerometer, FM radio, proximity sensor, and a digital compass. For audio, the HD2 has a 3.5mm headphone jack, and for syncing and charging there is a microUSB port. The rear camera is 5MP with auto focus and a dual flash. Powering the device is a 1230mAh battery. For even more specs, check out PDAdb.net or to see how the T-Mobile HD2 specs compare to the European HD2, click here.
The HD2 is adorned with a large piece of glass on the front that spans almost from edge to edge. Despite having the largest screen of any smartphone on the market, it’s just 11mm thick. Here you see it showing the pictures tab from Sense in landscape mode.
On the bottom, we have a 3.5mm headphone jack, plus microUSB for syncing and charging. Gone is the single-plug that handles both charging, input/output, and audio all at the same time.
THE DEVICE.

Zooming into the camera we get a closer look at the speaker, camera sensor, and flash. Sadly, the speakerphone distorts too easily. Even at minimum volume, there is distortion. Another problem is that the area around the camera lens is very sharp.
The European HD2 was pretty popular. It was the first Windows Phone with a capacitive multitouch screen, and it had the largest screen on the market. T-Mobile’s version adds a few hardware and software enhancements along with some great value-added bundles and a fantastic price to make the HD2 a top selling phone in the U.S. Heck, for the first few weeks since its release, HTC can’t make enough! Everytime T-Mobile gets a fresh shipment of HD2s, they sell out before the end of the week… with the exception of the launch day, where they sold out in about four hours. Did HTC and T-Mobile grossly underestimate the popularity and powerful potential of Windows Mobile 6.5? Read on to find out what makes this device such a crazy hot seller.
And there’s a T9 style keyboard for even better one-handed input.
In this video (taken from the European HD2 review) we cover all of the settings for the HD2, both through Sense and through the main Settings menu.
BUGS AND WISHES.
I prefer the device without the rubber case since it’s thinner and there’s less friction when slipping it into my pocket.
The quick links on the home page are pre-populated with some of the featured applications T-Mobile has added. Of course you can customize these to your choosing using the menu in the lower right.
One important addition to the T-Mobile HD2 is Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.2. If you want your text messages to be read to you, you’ll need to disable HTC’s Messaging app. Also there’s an issue with HTC’s non-standard Bluetooth software that does not allow incoming caller ID name announcements to route through the Bluetooth headset.
For the jet-setters, when you buy the HTC HD2, you also get 6 months of free Gogo Inflight Internet service across the continental US. That’s right, free internet in the plane while you fly!
Sense UI has some bugs Poor speakerphone No kickstand for watching movies No Straight Talk conference calling features Voice Command does not announce caller names via Bluetooth HTC Messaging app is incompatible with Voice Command HTC’s Twitter tab becomes very slow very quickly Value Ease of Use Features.
While HTC’s Sense UI is pretty cool and puts a new face on Windows Mobile, it can also have its issues. First off is the Contacts Bug. You might run into that one if you’ve synced your contacts with other HTC phones in the past. The people tab may cause the entire Sense UI to freeze, requiring a soft reset. Luckily, the fix is pretty simple.
Another possible source of annoying slow-downs (and certainly battery life reducers) are the scheduled automatic cloud syncs. By default, the HD2 likes to automatically keep in sync with Facebook, the Weather, Stocks, and Twitter. Disabling the automatic syncing for those services will reduce apparent random heavey load requirements on the processor and network. Twitter tends to be the biggest culprit, especially if you are following a lot of heaver tweeters.
The HD2 uses a customized version of Opera Mobile 9.7 that allows for multitouch. You can launch the browser from the Internet tab, which also lets you.
The photo albums from Facebook then load in HTC’s Album software and you can view each photo full screen and flip through them. Multi-touch pince-to-zoom and flick panning all work here on Facebook photos, too.
Every time you tap the Standby button on the device, the device suspends. When you flip it back on, you are taken to the Windows Mobile 6.5 lock screen.
The speakerphone on the HD2 is sub-par. Even at minimum volume, it’s too loud, causing the speaker to distort. Considering that HTC pioneered the amazing StraightTalk speakerphone found on the Touch Pro2, it’s not acceptable the their new flagship device has this flaw. I also greatly miss the Touch Pro2’s ability to create conference calls so easily.
save live thumbnails of sites you visit often.
As mentioned earlier, the Twitter tab and HTC Peep Twitter applications have no way of clearing out old tweets. This means you’ll get a huge list of Twitter tweets pretty quickly, and that can seriously slow down your Sense UI. Deleting the Twitter cache database is a pretty easy fix, but I’d recommend disabling the Twitter tab and using a better Twitter app instead.
While older mobile phone cameras often took a very long time to load, a long time to focus, and a long time to save a photo, the HD2 is very quick. This makes it much easier to quickly snap photos without having to stand around being obtrusive waiting for your camera to run.

Here’s a comparison shot. From left to right we have: T-Mobile HTC HD2, HTC HD, HTC Touch Pro 2, and T-Mobile Dash 3G.
A big touch-friendly NaviPanel is available when you plug the HD2 into its car cradle. The navigation features link to the TeleNav software included on the device.
INTERNET.
Taking off the back battery cover we reveal the SIM card slot.
The HD2 has a curiously small battery at just 1230mAh. Recent devices like the Touch Pro2 and Diamond2 have batteries of size 1500mAh. You’d think that with a huge screen and a 1GHz CPU, the HD2 would have paltry battery life, but it doesn’t. The battery life on the HD2 can be classified as "good"…not amazing, but good. That means that with moderate use (several calls, a couple GPS sessions, and a fair amount of web browsing), you’ll go a day and a quarter, probably a day and a half before you need a charge. With heavy use, expect a full day, and with light use, you’ll last two to three days without plugging in.
Weather animations fill the home screen periodically and depending on the current weather.
The HD2 comes with a USB sync cable, wall charger, silicone case, headphones, 16GB MicroSD card, software and manuals.
Overall.
Since Opera 9.7 does not support Flash, Internet Explorer 6 is also included with built in support for Flash 8. If you remember some of the earlier Windows Phone’s that supported Flash, it was a painful experience since the Flash animations took up so much memory. The HD2 is much more powerful and therefore handles most Flash animations quite well. If IE6 isn’t enough for you, you can always download Skyfire for even better Flash support.
The T-Mobile HD2 comes with the Swype keyboard for high-speed text input if you can learn how to use it. Thanks to the high level of sensitivity of the screen, entering text is very easy on the HD2. Also, it helps that the screen has a ton of surface area.
Facebook updates also appear in each contact’s information card.
The case does not protect the front of the device or screen at all, however you do have some small rubber areas around the edges that should protect a bit if dropped on a flat surface.
FACEBOOK.
The HD2 is available from T-Mobile retail stores, partner stores, and online for $199 with a 2 year contract… if you can find one that has them in stock. You can also get the HD2 from Wirefly for about $120 with contract.
HTC now has a nice Twitter tab built into Sense. Unfortunately, if you download too many tweets, it can significantly slow you down. We recommend disabling the tab and using a different Twitter program.
If you need to dig a bit deeper, you can still access the usual Windows Mobile settings from the bottom right softkey menu and its "All Settings" command.
CAMERA.
The NaviPanel has an easy way of calling people in both your favorites list and recent calls.
For your navigation needs, Telenav is included, but this requires a subscription fee of $10/month after the initial 60 day free trial.
The Footprints tab is not enabled by default, but it is there. You can enable it in the settings.
There are five hardware buttons on the bottom of the screen. Only the send key (holding it) is programmable. By default, it’s set to Voice Command. These buttons will glow when the ambient light conditions are dim. Interestingly, HTC has placed the power/standby button on the bottom of the device, and combined it with the call end button.
In-hand, the device does feel large, but not massive, and the high level of build quality is apparent from the moment you hold the device for the first time.
