I've installed opera mobile 10 Beta on my HD. Which is subjectively faster than the preinstalled version and sports some other cool features. I wonder if you can run other browsers than safari on the iphone. Maybe an owner can answer that.
After all I prefer the bigger screen on the htc, which prooved to be really usable in terms of reading news online. Even after the release of 3gs I still love the hd (allthough the 3gs needs to be compared against hd2). Never regretted I've payed more.
On Android you have Tap Tap KEYBOARD and Apple & Microsoft still use 141 years old keyboard, so Android have far superior keyboard then Apple & MS. Even better keyboard is much better then one on the iPhone or MS and on HTC you have good customized keyboard too.
Lol the HD actually has a much higher quality screen, considering the resolution is nearly twice the size of the iphone......And the screen is physically bigger.....
lol a few seconds doesnt make much of a difference in real life situations. but if u guys are thinking iphone is better cuz of that then ur in for disappointment. opera 9.7 absolutely kills safari and speed. its not even funny. so yea sorry to crush ur hopes ^^
Wow, sounds like all you Iphoners have got your balls tied up in your feminine thongs. Get over your phone. Maybe it was the best when it came out but like all fades it fades away and something better comes along.
apple fan-boys - exit button is in the top right corner thre - the orange X there.. dont press it with ur fingers - use the mouse, its not an iPhone...... and stop with ur dumb iPhone better bullshit - because its not. iPhone is a really good phone, but it is NOT the best. it depnds on personal preference .. jeezz
I feel sorry for all the iphone users. look how they defend it! iphone has i-tunes but who said that win mobile, android, Sybian users aint got it going on with symilar UI? I love my HTC touch hd 16gb sd mem & would not trade it because it suits my needs. There are plenty of iphone killers out there. The LG arena is a clear example. No one said that apple cant develop better than this so why get so defensive? stop defending and accept the competition humbly apple users.
Has anyone seen SkyFire web browser? It's very promising in the sense that it can almost do all the things a desktop browser can do, especially watching videos online...
Has anyone tested skyfire on Touch HD yet? On skyfire's website, they say it won't work with WM WVGA devices... Has anyone tried it? It would be very cool if it can be use on this device, that would be a done deal for me on choosing Touch HD... any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!
Way faster.-Tested them both brand new, right of of the box. Also the interface on the HTC-s overall I think it's crap-too fancy, but waaaaaaaay too heavy, just like vista. The iPhone has double less RAM and again it's faster not just in browsing, but in everything
how is the responsiveness of the screen. Some people say you almost need to press trough it to get it working (i guess thats overstated). And does the touch HD have a lot of custom apps for it?
I´ve tried both, and iphone´s is a little better, but not much, HD´s touchscreen is really good and resolution is incredible 800x480, 2,5 times more pixel than iphone´s.
And yes, there is a lot of apps for HD, over 20.000 apps for windows mobile in the market.
The Opera on HTC is kinda slow and still it almost beat the iPhone and... Complaining that it "takes more effort" to scroll is kinda lame to do, cuz I prefer that I need to put a little more pressure on my screen (so I can control the movement better). It's just how you are used to control your phone.
True, to a certain degree. It's the same as some of these Windows Mobile phones only allowing you to use Internet Explorer.
Good news is, this can be solved by simply flashing the ROM (Or "Jail-breaking" for you iPhone people), and upload any custom content you want (Especially for this example with the browsers. Many ROM programs speed up the responsiveness of the touchscreen, and make it very smooth to handle)
Brother, I am based in Adelaide, AUS and am eagerly awaiting this phone's release over here. Is there any way I could get to know when it'll be finally available over here. And, I noticed in both your HD and Iphone comparision videos, that HTC's screen is not as vibrant as Iphones. How good does it look in reality. It somehow reminds me of Nokia 6200 and 7250 screens, which were pretty dull in comparision to Samsung mobiles.
I am not sure when the device will be officially released in Australia; i would suggest emailing HTC for this.
Regarding the screen, you are correct in saying that the Touch HD is not as vibrant and rich as the iPhone. The Touch HD has a slightly yellowish tinge to it which can easily be visible on our video's. In regular use however, you will not really notice this. I love watching my photo's and video's on the device and personally i think it's brilliant media player.
Yes, it would with any GSM carrier if it is unlocked. However, please be advise that it does not support the US 3G bands (both T-Mobile and AT&T), so you will be limited to slower EDGE network speeds.
GPS works independent of carrier, so that should not be a concern.

Keyboard score: Android : Apple & MS 2 : 0
(Tap Tap KEYBOARD & Better keyboard VS QWERTY)

THE TRUTH
IPHONE is for simple people who just want to do simple things like internet browsing,waching movies,music,and play with some crapy apps
HTC HD is ALMOST like a normal pc only small
if you realy love iphone you can make the htc hd look exactly the same by using a iphone theme and downloading appstore to it,
its can be the same if u want it to be but its just way better
