Flashback: HTC HD2 was the best Windows Mobile phone, but it toured other OSes too

21 July 2019
The HD2 was the first Windows Mobile phone to have a capacitive touchscreen, which was made usable only thanks to HTC's TouchFLO 3D UI.

Still remember the day I bought it, 4.3" capacitive screen was so amazing at that time!

    Legendary. The screen at the time was humongous

      best phone ever created and probably will stay that way even those bendable phones can touch it awesomeness

        It was a monster of a phone. Never had it myself (back in 2009 i was devoted Symbian fan (till today, btw, N82 reminding me old times and 808 peak of Symbian OS) and not so in for touchscreen phones, so i rocked Nokia 5730 Xpressmusic back then (i sorely miss physical qwerty's)) but my friend had it and oh boy, i was pretty impressed. So much, to be honest, that my next phone was Nokia C6 that combined best of the two worlds: touchscreen and physical qwerty keyboard.

          A well deserved mention.
          Owned the HD2 for 4 years, ran almost anything I threw at it. I can't say I've enjoyed any phone I've owned as much as the HD2, even newer ones.

          Locked bootloaders and lack of OS updates beyond 2 years played a major role in that.

          HD2 is a prime example how a good phone could stay relevant way past its intended lifespan.
