HTC HD2 Windows Phone (T-Mobile)

Let me start by saying I have been a T-Mobile customer since 2003. I have owned several Samsung handheld non smart phones, the T-Mobile Dash, First Gen Iphone unlocked on T-Mobile, The T-Mobile G1 and now the HDC HD2. All of my friends have Iphones, but I will never use ATT again because of their customer service (Cingular 2003). This phone is top notch and absolutely wonderful.I've been wanting a fully functional business, media phone for the past few years. The G1 was great, the Keyboard was so nice I really just loved it, but I couldn't pass up a phone with a 1 GHZ processor, it is so awesome.


Pros -

The Screen is 4.3 inches and the resoultion is 480x800. The battery life is much better than the G1 and does last all day. Camera has flash, a really nice touch and the pictures look great. The camcorder also has a light. E-Mail setup was the easiest I have had on an HTC device and worked right away. 16GB card right out of the box is a nice touch, I've put 8 full length movies and about 1,000 songs on the device right now. I used the Telenav turned by turn device and it was solid. There is also an FM radio, I will enjoy this when I go to sporting events, since I can get the baseball games on the FM station. You can get a subscription to Mobile TV, but for myself I've been using Sling Mobile and it works over 3g so I can watch all my hundreds of DirecTV shows. I don't believe the Iphone version allows you to use the 3g version of sling, and it's not available for android phones yet. As far as a Phone, I like the facebook intergration and pictures with the contacts, volume is very solid and it is easy to talk to people.

Cons -

Media Syncing is a little harder (music is easy videos were easier to transfer via Disk drive, but it could have just been the way I ripped them), but if your a gadgethead you will love it. There is a program called multimedia sync by double twist on the device that I have been using instead of media player. I wish the video player was linked in with the music interface, I like the music player on the device (you can use windows media player as well and videos are found on photos and video tab), but I would like the videos to be more accesible, it is not hard to find them.

The HTC Sense looks really cool on this device, especially the weather. If you want ease, go buy an Iphone, if you want super fast clear quick interfaces and a phone that rules, get the HTC HD2. I always find it funny that Apple has such a following, had it not been for that Iphone they'd still be a laugher like they were in the 90's. This summer will be a pivotal time for Apple, with the HTC EVO coming out on sprint with 4G (very similar to this phone) and running on Android, they will have to step up their game. If you are on T-Mobile get this phone yesterday (If you can find it), for the Amazon price it's going to be hard to beat.

A+++++
