@TheCharmedRebel09 it was a good phone for its time, but its running a terrible os and has outdated hardware. HTC has some great very similar phones running android or WP7.
Gr8 walk thru, i just bought 2 brand new of theez beautiful, LARGE screen devices. However, not really know how to use them to the fullest extend. Thanx for the quick vid guide.
Man I thought I was in love with this phone from day one then I found an app that allows me to use it as a wifi router which allows me to connect to the internet on my lap top via the phone wirelessly. I'm very surprised at how fast it works also when you're in a good 3g area. Comes in handy when you're at "star bucks" and don't want to pay for THEIR wifi usage.
@adrian570 I forgot honestly. Google "wifi router for htc hd2". Try to click a link that leads to xda-developers website cause that's where I downloaded the package. It's included in a package called "the bowman pack". Actually google that. Then download and pull up via file expl and expand the pack to install that cab file. But U might some of the other stuff in the pack to. Especially the updated Bing which offers turn by turn navigation with voice talking FREE.
@SpoiledBeauty91 you have to type htc hd2 "bowman package" in google, or "htc hd2 wifi router" in google and it should bring up a link which should lead to the xda developers website where you would download to your sd card.
So a quick question, i'm on Verizon and i want an HTC phone with android and the new snapdragon processor. Is there any phones you could possibly suggest? I know none are really out atm, but any in the future?
this guy is good... wow.. he know how to present this shyt good.. so tmobile..huh... 3g service is kinda slow...... what abt sprint? the million dollar question
i was never a fan of the windows mobile platform. i always thought its interface was hideously disgusting. But this new windows mobile or windows phone looks fucking sexy and amazing!!!!!!!!!!
lmao yea your right just wait till it comes out in america itll likely be 199.99 with a contract nd u can pay like 200.00 on any carrier to have the contract cancelled (if thats wat u wana do)
Or even better would have been Web OS That would be BEAST. This coming from an iPhone user!!! And it should be on AT&T, Verizon And Sprint possibly T-Mobile?
looks alright but g1 has better homescreen i think, left to right apps in stead of sliding to different menus, i would also rather have keyboard instead of touch, also doesnt look durable
The screen is large with an awesome resolution. I still think my iPhone 3GS is/will be better. I haven't found any phone that has a more appealing OS than the iPhone. I also don't like that the headphone jack is on the bottom of the HD2.
I doubt it's coming to AT&T though. Apple will hate AT&T and might even switch to verizon(Yay!) if it does. Unfortunately it might only come to T-Mobile which has the shittiest coverage in the U.S.
agreed on the fact that id take this over the iphone anyday.
this is just so incredibly sexy.
the graphics couldnt be more gorgeous, the touch screen is so responsive unlike other windows mobile phones, and its madfast with that 1GHz processor in it. snapdragon ftw.
its UI is a breath of fresh air...incredible, i wish they had released it rite now in the US.
and i rly hope they dont put this on tmobile. verizon or at&t would be amazing.
Now I'm an iPhone user and I can say tht this phone is as good or
Maybe better than my iPhone but two reasons i wouldn't get it is because no 3g... Which is a really big downfall and because of apps ... Otherwise I would have this.
But I can say that the next iPhone is going to be kick ass... Cuz it's obviously got to measure up to this phone .....
yeah iphone is losing somewhat now, but apple will once again destroy competition when the new one comes out....and I swear the new one will be just awe and oo's
this phone is AMAZING!! the only thing i dont like is the battery being 1230mha, it could have been bigger. and the phone is too big to fit in my pocket.
Many people say that the iPhone rocks... But I think that what make the iPhone a super phone is becuase it has many many many apps... But if you take away all the apps from the iPhone, the iPhone is as good as nothing! But seriously... Even though there are many apps on the iPhone waiting to be downloaded, I think that now many phone is trashing iPhone's ass... For example... The HTC HD2... And of course... Many other phone indeed..
Whoa I have the iPhone 3GS and I'm absolutly astonished that phone is amazing, the interface is brilliant. Apple really needs to go ahead and completly redesign our interface, I mean come on it's been 3 gens with this same interface it's getting pretty boring. And I do not want to wait for 4.0.
i'm the biggest apple fanboy you'll ever meet. but i have to admit this phone is making me like HTC a lot! its OS is fantastic and i hope apple with their next iphone OS will make it more like HTC's... i believe actually HTC uses microsoft mobile? which is perhaps my favorite thing microsoft has out.
Wow, looking at the awesome animations and interface on this phone, and seeing how fast it is, almost makes me want to dump my iPhone. C'mon, Apple, stick an Intel Atom in there, and THEN see which phone wins. xD
i love the iphone, great phone, but this one right here is out of his mind! that weather animation is awesome and the device itself looks pretty cool. hope i'll buy it one day.
