i bought a iphone 4 and didnt like it so i gave it to my missus, while i bought this kind of mobile. i had it 2yrs already, after ii finished my hd2 contract i download my monthly bill then still using my old number and my htc hd2.. love it,, i uploaded almost 50 videos in youtube..
is the htc hd2 better than the hd7, i really dont like the homescreen on the hd7, however if they have a update then that can change, but the hd2 homescreen is really nice.
this dude don't know what he's talking about, "widescreen view is nice so we're gonna leave that on" what a noob. Widescreen mode "off" gives you true 5mp picture 2952x1944, widescreen "on" is 2952x1552. Another example of "don't believe everything you see or hear"
I buyed the HTC HD2 but there was some camera problem and i gave them to repair it so when i went to get my mobile the language was changed into chinese.
@takisnat I thought that too but I'm saving it to my 16GB memory card and I have about 13GB free. I think it's just my phone. I tried changing it to different time limits and it works for them. It isn't a big deal. It's just a little thing that is bothering me.
@takisnat I'm very satisfied with the phone in general. With some upgrades to the OS, its very much a great phone. Because I am using T-mobile, the 3G is limited and goes out a lot. I just blame the service on that. Camera and Camcorder are pretty good. The problem I have is when I use flash, the pictures turn out a bit yellow. It could be the lighting, but I'm not so sure on that. Overall, it's worth the buy. I just wish it had android market place because the apps are very limited.
@takisnat I heard Evo 4G is a good phone. It has very good specifications. I looked into buying Evo 4G before settling down for HD2. The only reason I didn't get it was because it was out of my price range. I wasn't looking to pay that much for a phone. Because I have T-mobile, I would have to buy the unlocked version of Evo 4G and it's very pricey. I wouldn't recommend you getting either Evo 4G or HD2 if you don't like bulky phones. They are thin but very wide.
@takisnat If you are asking about HD2, it usually costs around $400-$450. Depends on where you are getting it from. I got mine for around $350 on ebay, brand new sealed in the box. Is htc droid incredible available in Europe? Because over in the US, it's strictly for Verizon. I tried looking for an unlocked version but there aren't any available. I hear good things about Samsung Galaxy S. You should check it out. I heard good things about it.
@MrCoOL47 no,i meant evo 4g's price,incredible isn't out yet,but we're expecting it very soon,it'll be unlocked,i think there are no limitations like verizon's here,which i think it's kinda unpractical.i wanted to buy a microsoft kin two,but they cancelled it before they produce the european version,i found only cdma models.i mean why only cdma?i am a sharp fan,microsoft did this phone with sharp,so this would be a great phone for me...galaxy,i heard a lot about it,but it hasn't even flash...
@takisnat Evo 4G is around $600 for an unlocked version. Unless you are in a hurry, I would just wait til HTC Droid Incredible hits the market. It seems like a good phone. Good size and still has the big touch screen. Plus, it has 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash.
@MrCoOL47 $600,not bad.i mean,currency helps me in this case,it's about 450 euros if i could find it $500,i would easily buy it.but i don't know,if evo works in europe...do you know anything about that?i hear that it's only cdma...that ties my hands and in this case i have to wait...
is there a limit as to how long a video can be? like for example on my sidekick (i know, don't laugh :( ) you can only take 20 second videos with a 1.3 megapixel camera
Woah i just got a great idea - I've got an Ipod Touch and if i get this hd2, i'll be able to let it be a wi-fi router. Thereafter i'll connect my itouch to it and use any internet applications that is not available on the hd2.
wow it is so much faster and better quality than the normal HD i got. When i signed my contract for new job i definately will choose that phone! Thx for sharing it!
would u recomend this phone to buy against the iphone. if no which phone would u recomend. and the camra quailty will improve with the updates. thks plz reply pocketnowvideo
Great reviews! - I like the way you actually go into the menus through every setting and talk about the features and also going through the first time setup on your previous video.
Unlike other reviewers who don't do a "proper" review.
i am a fan of the iphone, since i have one, and i love it, if any phone can beat the 3gs, it is this phone. i mean i was really hyped for the 5mp with led flash, but after looking at the gsmarena samples, i think my 3gs takes better pics ROFL. and the video is better on 3gs too :[ man i was having high hopes for this monster and its camera >:O well i still love the overall size of this screen, and the 1 ghz processor and 448 mb of ram. :]
I would go so far as to say it time and time again, there is not really a phone out right now that can top this one. I recently ordered it as well...and I can't wait to get my hands on it. WOW. I too think he gives the best reviews for winmo phones...GREAT JOB Brandon. What is the first thing you would recommend after I get my phone? Any apps? anything? Thanks...
Once again, good job on the review. I know that pictures and videos can not replace a real camera or camcorder yet.
However, can you compare the images side by side with the iphone? I would like to see pictures and video taken in the same environment under the same lighting condition.
thing that gets me is this phone and ip3gs are £500 you can get a really good laptop for that so how do they justify the price? no phone is worth 500 quid 200-300 max . i just sold my crap n97 and i got i8910 which is good for my needs until sony x10 or lg louve comes out next year
i cant justify no mobile device is worth £500 i actually work in chip making/sales industry and can tell you the consumer is well ripped off the cost of components for the htc hd2 will be apprx £65-135 to actually make it. i know companies need to make a profit but the markups on this non innovative tech is taking the piss. you feel this less if your in usa but here in the uk those robbing bastards in the house of parliment levy us with high taxes uk produces bugger all as a nation :(
Hey Brandon, can you check the camera problem of HD2. Look at the camera when you turn it on without flash, you'll see a pink portion right at the center of the screen. It dissapears when we turn on flash! It's a common problem of HD2, which is being complained almost everywhere.
I think this person's reviews only stand out because the rest of the reviewers do so poor of a job. It's all relative. I don't think this guy speaks any better than your normal everyday educated person, it's just that he doesn't have much competition amongst other cell phone reviewers.
