HTC Touch HD is a great device that has a wide HD display, 480X800 px, and it includes a 5mpx camera. It also features WiFi, HSDPA and inbuilt GPS.

HTC Touch HD Review

The best thing at this phone is obviously the display that is 3.8″ wide with a resolution of 480X800 px. The best around, better even then the iPhone 3G one. Used in landscape mode this is a very impressive device and it is great for browsing any website.

HTC Touch HD Specs

The processor is Qualcomm MSM7201a, running at 528 MHz that works pretty great, but you can get a lot of support from the 288 mb of RAM. You also get 512 mb of internal memory for applications or multi-media files that can be extended using microSD cards or SDHC cards.

The camera is placed on the back of the phone. It has 5mpx and works fine, it features autofocus but has no led-flash. The device also has a secondary camera for video calling. Although there are a lot of phones with better cameras the HTC touch HD certainly has the best camera from Windows Mobile.

For music, the machine features a 3.5mm standard audio jack and it also has Fm radio. It can play back a lot of audio or video formats such as AAC, AMR, MP3 and Windows Media formats. The best part at this phone when it comes to music and videos is that movies watched in wide screen landscape mode are great.

As a power source the phone has a large 1350 mAh battery that can power the phone for 6.5 hours talk time (3G) with an incredible stand-by time of 18 days. It is a nice device even the exterior looks great, but it is kind of big, it measures 115 x 63 x 12mm and weighs 146g.

As an overall impression the HTC Touch HD: is a great and impressive device that can be both for home use or for business use but it is certainly made for those of you who prefer a multi-media elegant touch-screen device.

The design looks good nothing special so to say.It is a slim phone that weights only 135 grams but it has a big large touchscreen. The device dimensions are 119 x 60 x 12mm, so it will fit great in any pocket.

The 3.7″ 800 x 480 pixel HTC Desire display uses OLED technology. HTC ensures us that the display is more colored and bright enough, so you can use it both outdoors and indoors.
With a processor of 1Ghz and such a wide screen this phone will be ideal for web-browsing. It also has a 576 stunning internal memory which should allow great multi-tasking.

As far as I know this looks like it’s going to be a good phone. I’ll begin with the operating system that’s called “HTC Sense” based on Qualcomm BREW MP .This is a new improvement for the HTC. It has a screen of 2.8″ 240 x 320 pixels with a good display.Not too wide but you won’t have any problem reading from your display outdoors. The camera is only 3mp. HTC chose this to make the phone cheaper and because this is not a multi-media based display.
It is very light, only weights 108g and its dimensions are 104 x 55 x 13mm. We don’t know to much about the software but what we do know is that it has no GPS and not even Java. It supports an expandable memory: MicroSD.
Battery life is not that great for this kind of device.Only 6 hours talk/ 25 days standby in 3g mode and 7.5 hours talk / 14 days standby in GSM.
It is announced to be available in the spring time of 2010.

HTC HD2 vs Nokia N900

Amelia — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 12:33:08 +0000

Both devices were released last month and they are simply great.But still one of them must be better than the other.
They both have an attractive design.They look great.Wide screen, great resolution, but the N900 has a physical keyboard and that gives it an advantage because some users prefer to use a physical keyboard when writing messages or e-mails.

The size is almost the same but the weight differs in favor for the N900 that has 181g.The HD2 is not that far and only weights 157g.

The display is great at both phones.The resolution is the same 800X480 but the HD2 has a screen of 4.3” wider than the N900 that only has 3.5”.But that’s not a big loose for the N900 because it has 16M colors when the HD2 only has 65k.But not so bad after all.

At the sound section the N900 looses some ground because the alert types are only by vibration and mp3 audio files when as the HD2 has a lot more to offer: Vibration; Downloadable polyphonic, MP3, WAV, WMA ringtones.Still I don’t think that is such an important thing.They both have stereo speakers and a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

When it comes to memory the N900 leads because it has up to 1GB application memory (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory) and an internal storage of 32Gb expandable up to 16GB using a microSD while as the HD2 has 448 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM and an internal storage expandable using a microSD.
The both devices have unlimited entries in the phonebook and unlimited call records.

The both machines have same GPRS, EDGE, 3G, WLAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and v2.0 microUSB.The N900 also has infrared port.

The cameras differs a little bit.The N900 has 5 MP, 2576×1936 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, Dual LED flash, video light that features Geo-tagging and video WVGA at 848×480@ 25fps and secondary VGA while as the HD2 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, dual LED flash that also features Geo-tagging and video recording VGA@30fps but without any secondary.

The operating systems differ.The HD2 uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional and the N900 uses Linux based Maemo 5.I think that N900 uses a better one because it’s an Linux based version and we will see next that it has many preinstalled applications that come with the OS.

The HD2 has a better CPU, the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor and the N900 uses ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics.

They have an equal number of applications, almost but they differ a lot.
The N900 uses for messaging SMS (threaded view), Email, Push Email, IM and also Skype and GoogleTalk VoIP integration when the HD2 SMS (threaded view), MMS, Email, Instant Messaging.
The other applications for the N900 are: mozilla browser, MP3/WMA/WAV/eAAC+ music player,
WMV/RealVideo/MP4/AVI/XviD/DivX video player, PDF document viewer, Adobe Flash Player 9.4 and alos has a TV-out.The HD2 uses: Digital compass, MP3/WAV/WMA/eAAC+ player, MP4/WMV/H.264/H.263 player, Facebook and Twitter integration, YouTube client, Pocket Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, PDF viewer), HTC Peep, HTC Footprints, Voice memo and T9.

They both use a standard Li-lon 1230 mAH battery.
The stand-by time for HD2 is up to 490h using 2G and 390h using 3G.
Talk time goes up to 6h 20 min using 2G and 5h 40min using 3G.
Music play goes up to 12h.

The specifications for battery life look the same for N900 but they are not well mentioned.

So what is the best choice? Well, it depends on what customers prefer and what they will use the phone for.
My personal choice will be the N900 because I have confidence in their company and also in their phones.
