this review was not very proffecionaly done. You are only talking about small details that aren't perfect, and make such a big deal out of it. You focus so much on it that you forget why the phone is so damn impressive, yet in the end you say "You are probably looking at one of the best phones on the market". Why do you say that without have talked about what detail and none details, makes the phone awesome. I simply feel no intusiasm from you. Thumb down. :/
"The qwerty keyboard's, errr.... just a little bit dodgy"
What kind of technical review is this for Christs sake? I've read and heard many contradictory reviews to this, stating that the screen is perfectly smooth in scrolling and rendering, that the keyboard is fine to use, especially in landscape, and that 1 day for a smart phone with this kind of usage is not out of the ordinary. Naff review it has to be said.
just do the review multiple times with a layout planned out in front of u and just touch on the key points. Also there is nothing wrong with clip out the unideal parts of the videos.
My friend told me about this phone, tonight. The second he said the word "Windows" my brain shutoff completely, and I knew it was just another lovely phone, let down by *the* worst software mistakes ever. How can *anyone* take Microsoft seriously any more?. Android - yes; Windows?.... UGH!.
My friend had an HTC Touch HD for 9 months, and regretted it more & more, progressively with each passing month - he told me.
omfg! stop wasting our time! your fooking useless! plus the fact that you kept on stalling "errr, urmm, ermmm, but err," actually plaing whqat you are going to say might just help! :@
I think people should stop complaining, this review is for the average joe on street who doesnt know much about phones and their world view is through the lens of an iphone.
If you want a "geeks" review there are plenty of other videos. But i see what you guys mean though, this dude clearly doesnt know much about phones.
Well, as far as I know English people speak the original language and you are worse than all, even than us! So you better think first from whom you've inherited this language then try to make some statements. Of course it's completely understandable: You're an American!
Are you paying attention here?? He is doing a review, but doesn't know what he's talking about. He reads to much 3:04
And he's to busy talking about the things that are not good, while he shows us what he does wrong. Look at his fingers touching the screen... it's not a sticker. And it's not a resistive screen, so don't push to hard :P.
I am very chill ;) but i shurely want to place a reaction on him, making such a bad review ;). So let this boy review something about his back garden. XD
This review is a matter of "everyone's giving it rave reviews" I'm gonna stir the shit a bit"
Everyone else has raved about just HOW responsive the screen is, and just HOW good the keyboard is. Sorry you didn't like Gerald, that's fine you can stick with your iFone and the rest of the fanbois.
I personally think this is a very good review especially if you're paying £500 for a phone. It's good to know the small issues it may come with i.e. texting.
@happyjilz Of course you need to know small issues and I know this device has it´s own concerns; but when you trust a jerk you will have the wrong conception instead of learning something useful. i.e. if you want to know about texting and the on screen keyboard you can find a SlashGear review regarding to HD2 keyboard, then you will get a useful point of view by someone who actually knows what is doing.
Yes i understand where you're coming from but you gotta give the guy a break after all it's only a minor review and too in-depth. Something is better then nothing.
Did you use WiFi or HSDPA for the dedicated YouTube App. If HSDPA/3G what kind of dataplan do you have? Have you got Fair Use Policy? If so what are your experiences with this on live streaming such as YouTube?
What has happened to shineymedia? They used to have interesting, semi professional looking reviews. Now it seems they have been taken over by a bunch of teens.
Looks like a beginner trying to give a review. You look nervous, you studder and hesitate alot, and reading your notes while giving this review is just plain retard.
Go do your homework first, and give us a side by side comparison with the iphone. Show us picture quality from both phones taken at the same image, show us speed of internet, speed of launching applications, and most importantly, show us call quality and speaker phone!
that Gerald guy should be fired, very bad review he looks nervous and doesn´t know what he is talking about, hesitating all the time, etc. poor review.
Your review is not good! You don't seem to handle a touchscreen at all... it looks like you're used to a resistive screen... u touch to hard and you are sticking with your fingers on it hahaha.
And the batterylife with mine is in very havy duty, 1 day. Using game, calling, music and wifi internet. And i did not tested it for a week doing nothing. But it should handle one week standby.
You should learn more about mobile phones.. And don't look on a paper that tells you what to say 3:04 lol
Was looking at this phone, the size screen was its major drawing point, but I was never a massive fan of Windows Mobile, however much HTC have made it look pretty, its never going to beat the Andriod OS in my opinion.
The screen is absolutely ludicrous.
Good review though, going through the features, the pros and cons seem obvious as they are similar to most of these types of phones.
you're too fidgety when pressing the screen hence the lag and a bit bias in constantly comparing to a iPhone which in theory is practically the same phone since launched from day one!
Plus al the con's you mention is the same exactly the same problems as the iPhone!

See, this is the problem with everyone and their mother thinking they can review.
buddy, you didn't go deep into much. You played with homescreen for first 3 minutes going back and forth the toolbar.
You kept saying "works good/bad" but never really demonstrated the FLOW of the phone too much.
Lastly, you reviewed everything BUT the phone: How does the speakerphone sound? How is call reception? Homie, we didn't even see the DIALPAD!!!
