HTC HD2 review: Portrait of a rockstar

17 November 2009
Quietly brilliant is what HTC like to call themselves and they’ve been giving enough proof lately. But allow us to disagree. The last thing to call the HD2 is quiet – the monster of a PocketPC simply screams rock'n'roll...

            i have this phone and got it updated to android jelly bean witch makes it a greater phone than it allready is.

            Like most phones when you play with it a lot battery goes fast , but when idle and systems off that are not needed a 2 day is possible

            is it a phone , no it is a personal assistant that does more than just makes calls , i like that it is big , though in 2013 days it still is big and huge but not a walking refridigrator like the s4 or note

            to me i don't care that old is bad , no i just let it be brought back to life

            great review . i miss the options of rooting though, this is my first phone that uses a android 4.1.3 jelly bean on a previous windows phone .

            i am a cellmaniak

              Minus - pretty large phone....
              Today smartphones are bigger than that... I can't think how about Samsung Galaxy Note II in 2009 :D

                                    Guyz after using HD2 for a month i would say i was a true nokia lover before i have used more than 50 nokias brfore more than 10 n series an X series also and few sony ericcsons .. but really im in LOVE with HTC.. HD2 is the best phone i have USED .. if u buy i would suggest the T-mobile us Version it has got bigger internal storage of 750mb,ROM is not 512 MB its 1024 MB,Ram 512 MB wid 1 GHZ snapdragon.. and most importantly NOW im using almost perfect version of android for daily use.. I got duel boot.. android or windows whenever my mind wishes to run anything i run... thats like a new freedom to me... SO by HD2 nokia sony-e.son apple sucks ... can they provide dual boot?? ITS worth the money... and do the necessary tweaking... cause after u tweak its the best and smartest smartphone in the MARKET...

                                      I am considering purchasing the HTC HD2 to replace both my electronic organiser and mobile phone, and require some help/advice from existing users. Within the Office facility, the Calendar feature is particularly important to me, and the ability to search completely, the database of events. I have noticed that some phones have only a limited Synch and search facility.
                                      Presumably I will be able to synchronise all of my calendar entries in Outlook on my PC to the HD2, however can anybody tell me if I will be able to search on the phone for calendar events of perhaps 2-3 years previous, or ideally, the complete entries as able to in Outlook.

                                        You keep saying - as in the HD - that you can rename one of the existing fields of a contact item if needed, can you explain how? I could not do it on my HTC HD.
