Dexter Morgan, 21 Nov 2009Do you mean the speaker is lower than the HD? cause in your... moreYes the speaker is Lauder on the HD2.
I want to do a test of the HD with Duttys HD Sense 2.1 Holy Grail R0
And do a comparison. I know the HD2 is faster but i need to know by how much. So i can tell people if it worth the price difference of the HD to the HD2.
By the way i got the .net 3.5 working on the phone. I was using the wrong download. It turns out the one you need for the phone is called .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable and it is a .msi file not a .exe file

    Thx for the review, and you don't have to compare your old HD with this, you have Youtube to prove that.. :)
    HD2 is a Legend!..

      Transformer, 21 Nov 2009Guys, i just change my HTC HD TO Samsung Omnia 2. After usi... moreGreat to hear about that man, congratulations! I was looking for a used Omnia II but since its new i assumed i won't find any out there.. But then i thought the support will be very hard regarding roms and other mods, hTC will always have the advantage in this matter, so i think i'll stick with my HD until i either get HD2 or wait for the other coming beasts..

          Dexter Morgan, 21 Nov 2009Hello Anthony, thanks for the review.. The SMS lagging was ... moreAudio in calls and speaker phone is much lower on HD2 than HD without even having to boost it with HD tweak. With the volume all the way up on some calls I have to hold the phone away for my ear. (Still using HD tweak to block gprs & edge)

            Dexter Morgan, 21 Nov 2009Hello Anthony, thanks for the review.. The SMS lagging was ... moreOverall build HD was good HD2 is better.
            Feels solid
            No gloss finish
            As for if it will scratch or not I not going to test that. lol
            I bought a screen protector the same time with the phone and put it on as soon as I took it out of the box so I don’t even know if the screen is glass or hard plastic. And it is a fingerprint magnet just like the HD as far as the screen goes.
            Battery life is the same as HD
            Album is the same as Leo r5 just moves smoother
            Opera runs faster and smoother
            It has the pinch to zoom but I think that is over rated. Is still double tap
            Pinch to zoom also work to zoom other things like mail file explore and many more. (But not every thing.)
            Image quality is the same on the big screen. I don’t see color banding like what was in the leo r5 rom or like what the review on GSM said. Maybe they had a test model.
            Daylight viewing is a little better. But not by much.
            Units is more comfortable for me.. I have big hands.. Will try to take a picture of it in my hand this weekend so you can see how it fits.
            I'd like to know about the screen build quality, i mean in the HD i always have to wipe the finger-prints out of it, and regarding scratches, there was a video where someone was trying to scratch it using a knife, a key and a pair of scissors and nothing happened. Is this true about it?
            Hold off on buying…. I want to get my old HD borrowed update the rom and see the performance difference side by side.
            There is no HSPL for the HD2 as yet.
            .net is out of date on HD2 so some stuff that worked on the HD not working on it. Keeps asking for a newer .net (working on getting new one on the phone not successful as yet.)

              I'd like to know about the screen build quality, i mean in the HD i always have to wipe the finger-prints out of it, and regarding scratches, there was a video where someone was trying to scratch it using a knife, a key and a pair of scissors and nothing happened. Is this true about it?

              So can you give a feedback regarding:
              - Battery life.
              - hTC Album which i never used because of its lack of features.
              - Opera browsing.
              - Screen resolution compared to the HD 480x800.
              - Screen build.
              - the whole unit size (does it feel comfortable?)

              My purchase of the HD2 lies between your hands.. ;)

                  dexter the problem we were having in leo with the lagging and crashing sms after you restore 300 or more is not a problem with the HD2. it restored all my old sms and the sms interface still not lagging.

                    Dexter I got My HD2 today.
                    Will give a comparison review to the HD with LEOr5 seeing that was the last rom I used on my HD before I sold it
                    I will say this much the camera performs much better under low light even with the flash off.
                    Outdoor and indoor night shot with no flash delay was about only 1-2sec. And the shots are not motion bleared.
                    With the flash it was about 1sec. Shots that are dark without the flash are still in focus. But with the flash on you can see a big difference in brightness.
                    If there is anything you want to know in particular just ask

                      Lucy, 19 Nov 2009Can HTC HD be up graded for Window Mobile 6.5?you can search the comments pages in this forum.
                      here is one answer from Dexter Morgan

                      http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_hd-reviews-2525p2.php


                      No, there is no official upgrade for the HD..
                      BUT!! ;)
                      You can unlock it and maybe even upgrade to WinMo 7 in the future.. :)
                      Enjoy Running smooth WinMo 6.5 ROMS for now:

                      Unlocking:
                      http://forum.xda-developers.co...php ?t=505377

                      Roms:
                      http://forum.xda-developers.co...ay.php ?f=453

                      Mostly recommended:
                      1- Miri
                      2- Dutty
                      3- Energy

                      Two things you have to know about hTC ROMs:

                      1 - WinMo builds:

                      - Build 23XXX: Its the latest WinMo build but still under development so you'll encounter lots of bugs which will drive you crazy.. They are improving now though

                      - Build 21XXX: Its an improved old build but its bug free and i personally recommended it for now.


                      2 - The 2 Manila versions:

                      Manila 2.1 is the old TouchFLo interface but yet faster than the new Manila (Sense) 2.5, The reason 2.5 is slower is because it was meant for a better processor like the HD2 so you'll find issues reading and writing SMS.. If you find Manila 2.5 (without hTC Messaging) that is not bad to install..


                      Cheers!

                                On my PC i just go to "My Computer" and i find the drive "Removable Disk".. I can then do what ever i want on my phone's "Storage card" just like on a normal hard disk..

                                On my PC i go to "My Computer" and i find a phone icon there where i can access folders on my "phone memory" and "Storage Card".

                                To use internet from phone or the other way around. (Never tried it before though)
