HD 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thewebmogul]

@ojin333 so how's your iphone4 now with it buggy attenna did you get your pretty pink case to fix it LOL... Can't wait when HTC HD3 arrives with Windows 7 it going to blow away junk iphone4

[ojin333]

whats better than HD2 and Desire?! I'm dying to find out, I'm gettin a new phone and I want a htc..:)

[Javeedizeable]

@ojin333, You might want to consider the HTC Evo, it probably has everything u need and want, and yes its way better then the HD2 and Desire

[x27m]

@ojin333, i agree with Javeedizeable. Currently, the best hardware specs for a device reside on the EVO/HD2 but the EVO runs Google Android, which is without a doubt much better than mobile 6.5. However, you should look into Windows Phone 7 which should be coming out around OCT 2010. HTC confirmed they will make a device for this new OS and run a version of their Sense UI on top of it.

[ojin333]

@x27m mhm, I'm not a cell phone ''geek'' but I've changed my mind into a iPhone 4, dunno why..but it's so awesome

[x27m]

@ojin333 Don't get me wrong. The iphone4 is good, even thought they say it's the windows vista of cell phones. I'd say that it's all about personal preference. Most people jump on the bandwagon of getting an iphone because that's what's hot on the market right now. The Android 2.1 OS running on an HTC device really blew me away and I had to get one for myself. Aside from that... on nov 8 when WP7 comes out, iphones and androids may become a thing of the past.

1. sell hd2

2. buy desire

3. ???

4. PROFIT!!

[x27m]

You need to use the "Skyfire" internet browser for flash support. Opera mobile currently does not support flash. The hero is the same device (hardware) with some minor exceptions and it runs android instead of Windows mobile 6.5. I prefer windows so I would choose the HD2 over the hero. Watch out for the rumored "HD3" supposedly running windows mobile 7 with a 1.5GHz processor (Nov, '10) that will make this device a thing of the past

[Jawez2045]

@x27m Im using Skyfire at my Nokia n96. The program is slow as hell. Opera Mobile is much faster then it but yea.. if you open websites where you need flash, then skyfire is the right one. What i like most on Skyfire is that you can see Youtube just on how it is at your PC and not the annoying Mobile Version. =)

[x27m]

@Jawez2045 i'm not sure what OS is running on that phone. However, I just purchased an HTC Aria which runs Google's Android OS with the HTC sense UI on top. I found Skyfire to be the best internet browser for that device and it is by far the best internet experience I've ever seen on a phone - very smooth when scrolling or pinch zooming, and extremely fast (no checker-boarding.)

[efhqjtrhaqte]

can somebody please tell me if you can watch the simpsons, family guy etc on htc phones?

[00Ghz]

there is opera 10 with flash support,unfortunately the pich to zoom is gone

[AntoneFisher]

no ms confirmed no window mobile 7...

[XPoChangLinX]

i wonder if windows mobile 7 will be any good. if i recall correctly HD2 will be able to run mobile 7. hope it will be much better than 6.5... 7with HTC sense!! :D

[mantheman100]

w7

will suck dick. Hd2 will not be able to use it.

U dont want it to be able to.

it looks like shit and is shit.. most complicated isolated feel ever. Dont even think of it!

[EmuTime2]

@mantheman100 I have the metro UI on my ZuneHD and it is very elegant and easy to use. its very good. we will see how it is on WP7.

[tullballknull]

@XPoChangLinX i think Microsoft has closed the windows mobile 7 so that you can't ad skins like htc sense....

[iFuff]

Everything Google has is based on making money out of their spyware like android,google toolbar, gogle earth and such things even Youtube! (I'll be banned for this^^)

[funx11]

@iFuff

Its the truth tho!

[narinda7]

It does support flash you just have to go via internet explorer and not opera

[samgzag11]

why do t mobile block youtube?

[nys5030]

how much does the running of multiple tasks (multitasking) slow down the operation of the phone? thanks

[mxmus08]

You displayed the ability to multitask on this phone. The Samsung Omnia has a dedicated button that you press to easily switch from one runninn task to another, how easy is it to do this on the HTC HD2

[voordeeldrogist]

it's easier, because it's way faster ;)

[Holmes093]

ck from the store with one of theese :) so happy shame its a christmas present :(

[dreemaze]

Holy crap, T-Mobile blocks YouTube???

[bigpizza112]

omg at 0:44, did you see that quick jump?

[stlucianrasta92]

this is a god send to heavy windows mobile users like myself!

[makeminealarge1]

why does T-mobile block youtube?

[JayBomb999]

This phone is beautiful and absolutely flies. Still, God I wish it ran Android instead of WinMo.

[bigsteamfan]

You can take the Motorola Droid with Android 2.0, has a similar screen, not so large of course, it can support multitouch and it has the same camera with dual Led flash...

[JayBomb999]

I've played with the Droid and came away disappointed. The screen is great, but the keyboard is borderline useless. Also, the browser is still laggy compared to HD2, iPhone or N900.

Yes the Droid "supports" multi-touch, but it does not in any of the apps that you care about (browser, maps, gallery, etc.)

Hoping the HTC Dragon/Passion can deliver.

[tobiasstyrer123]

its only the europian version that supports multitouch(motorola milestone);D

[stlucianrasta92]

then wait for the dragon

[mota411]

it supports flash on the internet explorer the only down side is slower loading times

[zenom88]

how bout opera ? it too support flash doesnt it ?

[pratikworld111]

wat camera u used to record this video & at wat resolution? if any post production done pls specify

[HytchJR]

Also, surely there's an actual task manager like there is on every other WM device? Do you hold down, say, the windows button to bring it up?

[HytchJR]

Sad to see the missus hasn't let you back in the house yet mate xD

[gs950is]

its HD2 day3 not hd3 day 3

[84dickerd]

hey man, can i have your dummy HD2 phone?

[papagoja]

How does the phone feel in your pocket? Would you consider using this phone fulltime?

Also, I didn't really get the multitasking, is it like on Android when programs keep on running in the background and close the program after a while? Isn't there any possibility to get to that old' RAM and multitasking meny? Sincerely

[xzamclp]

Nice Videos ... as always :-) Could you test how you can deal with programs that are not finger optimized (i.e. small buttons and controls) ... could be hard due to the smaller resolution of the capacitive touchscreen compared to a resistive one.

And another question: Is it possible to use the device one-handed and would you say that´s hard?

[l3v5y]

Word is HTC support, not MS, just needs to be enabled in the registry.

On T-Mobile, go to all settings, connections, "Proxy Settings" and uncheck the "this connection uses a proxy server" box and it should be okay.

Also, you've called this "HTC HD3 - Day 3", you had me worried there! :D

[l3v5y]

It supports Flash in IE, though Opera is less good for that.

[lbaquerizo]

HTC HD2, now thats an iphone killer

[79Gixso]

wonder if you could go more deep into windows itself and commet how much it is or isn't finger friendly. I own Touch HD and using stylus quite alot. Not that i need to most of the time. So will i miss stylus if i decide to upgrade? cheers

[Slimm2240]

this screen is bigger than the touch hd and has a CAPACITIVE screen which makes it 5x more finger freindly...

[l3v5y]

But it's a lot less precise....

[Slimm2240]

this phone is CRAZY...its like htc just shoved a bunch of top notch specs into this device:1ghz cpu, 5mp cam(dual led flash),video recording at 30fps, 4.3' screen(with highest resolution),512rom 488ram(not to mention a micro sd card slot up to 32gb)...THIS PHONE IS UNREAL!!!!!

[l3v5y]

That's kind of the point though... It's all the latest and greatest in one box!

[Slimm2240]

with all that said they could have atleast been a little more creative on the design of the device...although the specs make up for it

[l3v5y]

I like the conservative look...

[Slimm2240]

everybody has thier own taste...i jus think they could have tweaked the design
