Crazy to think just 10 years ago, a 4.3 inch display was considered YUUUGE. The first Galaxy Note was even bigger and that was only 5.3 inches.

Where is this HTC now, the one who also made the.. One? Their phones are still good but have nothing over the competition plus HTC are greedy when it comes to their prices. They should have a 'last' hurrah to put them back in business. They should make aluminum phones again with ultra fast charging. Who cares about wireless when your phone is durable and charges fast?

Owned HD2 for a year. It was a great phone, but had some annoyances I didn't want to live with. Windows Mobile was not really much usable, since most of the apps were optimized for resistive screens and use of a stylus. So while the OS redesigned by HTC looked great and had some great features, apps were useless. Linux back then was not really usable, more like a state of art than daily driver. Android was a good option and there were plenty of ROMs to choose from. Bugs were aplenty too, but battery drain was a bigger issue, even bigger when you booted it from the SD card.
Still, loved the times when switching a ROM was so simple. These days bootloaders are locked and manufacturers do anything they can to force us to use their solutions.

Al-Aqsa Lover, 21 Jul 2019I still see windows 10 mobile more stylish than Android :)Android has something no other mobile OS has right now - flexibility in choosing your own style. Launchers from the Store will help you bring the looks you prefer.

Htc still makes the best phones. I don't know why are they getting all the bad reviews... U12+ is my next phone...price is good now and the updates have fixed everything (battery and the button stuff)

Windows version on HTC HD2 was the best. HTC was simply so ahead in the game when in it's peak. So sad they had to go down this way...part of that is their fault too for not following the trend

Great read. To go with HTC re-releasing the Wildfire, I'd love for them to continue re-releasing their classics with modern specs. While the Wildfire is their budget phone, their Desires are their mid-rangers (which are being re-released already), I would LOVE for them to bring back the HTC One Max. That phone with its giant 16:9 ratio screen could run 2K, front-facing stereo speakers, GIANT battery, dual camera (Normal and Wide) rear, single selfie camera, Hybrid Dual Sim, Global Bands, IR Blaster, and 6GB RAM/128GB ROM would make that phone such a powerhouse!

Great series. I recall the Nokia N73 with loud stereo speakers and the Nokia N8 which was dubbed the 'director of photography' by GSM Arena

Good memories. This was my dream phone back in the day but I couldn't afford it. Went to the store just to touch it, have a feel of it!

I remember my Toshiba TG01, ahhh what an awesome device it was, first in the world with Snapdragon chipset, very slender and overall beautiful phone, hopefully GSMArena will make an article about the very first snapdragon phone in the world, it really was awesome!

Whackcar, 21 Jul 2019HTC has made some of the most iconic smartphones out there,... moreThey are remastering Wildfire but its not going to be a groundbreaking Phone.

HTC has made some of the most iconic smartphones out there, which is why their recent downfall is even more disappointing to the fans.
I would like to see HTC embrace their roots & launch classic HTC style phones with a modern revamp.
