Dear New Undecided readers,
Most basic mobile phones run with the build in software to operate. Some phones (Nokia) runs with S40 that became famous because it's well organized and easy to understand/use. Then they made the Symbian sw to enable to install more interesting and useable programs and optimize the hardware.

Touch HD runs with Windows Mobile. WinMo is like the Windows XP/98 of normal computers. It can be customized and can be installed with compatible softwares. If you're the guy who can stay in front of your PC busy tweaking your software, then you'll love this phone and the rest of WinMo running phones. If you just like surfing the net or sending messages with your mobile, the I think you may check i-phone or other symbian phones.

I own this phone for about a month now but still keep my Nokia E51. My wife uses i-phone 2G and she wont trade her's to mine. I hope this could help the undecided...

    Hello. I've been wanting to buy this phone before I go to a university but its really expensive here in the United States. I looked up prices on google shopping and found ones that are 300-500 USD. Are these legit? I know that the regular price is around 700 USD but that's too expensive for me right now. Also, I heard that the price of the HD will drop after the release of the Pro2 and the Diamond2.. When do you think is the BEST time to buy this phone?

By the way, the dimaond 2 (Topaz) is out, and all its features is now available for the HD..
        Check out this:

        http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

        And for those who don't want to bother playing with the touch HD system and upgrading operating systems.. They can always go for Symbian and especially Omnia HD.. :)

        But Symbian is limited, you cant play around with it like windows for Cooked Rom updates and upgrades...

                    Hi users. can anyone suggest me which one is better among HTC touch HD,X1, BB Storm9500 and Omnia i900 in respect of 1.battery life 2.Speed 3.Lots of Options so that I don't get bored 4.Camera (I like Xenon flash but HD has no flash even!!is the picture quality bad in HD compared to others?)-please use rating against every criterion with your opinion.
                    I prefer X1 but I am bit reluctant for the width of the phone. I prefer a phone which has a modest ratio of length and width for instance apple iphone so that I can read my docs and view my pictures more smartly. For this I prefer HD. Is there any difference in viewing the docs in different OS? I have gone through the specifications of the above mentioned 4 phone sets and it seems almost same specifics (processor, RAM mostly). I think everybody trusts practical experience more than those written specifics. another thing is I am not concerned about the prices rather quality. but if I get same quality in the two different priced phonesets for example I will go for cheap one(surely everyone does this :))

                    in my country the prices are:
                    HTC HD: US $771
                    X1: US $614
                    Omnia i900: US $528
                    BB Storm9500:US $542

                    Please suggest.

                      Many Thanks.

                        Love, 13 Apr 2009Dear touch hd user s . Kindly let me know (unbiased opinion... moreSymbian is alot easier for standard mobile users.. Windows is also easy but it is used professionally better, to change system settings and registries.. I would prefer windows because there is unlimited modifications for the settings and you can make the system based on your own personal need by playing around with the registries (Sensitive system settings)..

                        If you don't wanna have a headache with professional usage go for Omnia HD.. It is my second favourite phone.. But i love windows more than any operating system.
                        I'm loving the Touch HD and never stop modifying the settings and adding applications to change the themes and styles and also upgrade to windows 6.5 or later.. plus you can add software versions for later HTC phones.. SO what i'm saying you don't have to buy htc phones this summer all you can do is update your HD and you'll still be advanced.. ofcourse the update is done by third party websites..

                            Dear touch hd user s . Kindly let me know (unbiased opinion) which is good in terms of mobile and operating system ( touch hd or omnia HD and windows or symbion) . Is typing on touch hd finger friendly like my e90. Please state your anwser giving detailed comparison. As both mobiles are very costly so i need to be sure of choice before i buy n not regret later. Thanks dear.

                                  Hello HTC HD users!!

                                  I love this phone and thinking of replacing my current nokia n95 8gb with this phone. Just wonder if this phone is as loud as n95. I am always on the move and heavily depend on phone for alarm. I don't care about the quality of sound from speaker. All i need is loudness so that I can wake up on time. N95 has two stereo speaker which is very loud. This is the only thing holding me back. Otherwise this phone is awesome.
                                  SO guys how is the speaker volume of HD????
