HTC Touch HD review: Windows almighty

28 November 2008
The Touch HD is storming the WinMo stage to leave a footprint the size of half the HTC portfolio. Not so long ago we saw how sexy Windows Mobile can look, now it gets multimedia hot. There’s TouchFLO 3D to roll the heavy WinMo machine into action...

oversized screen display doesn't look good anymore. and it is more susceptible to breakage. 3'2 inch is more than adequate already. categorically this in not a PDA anymore..it's already a TABLET! LOL

      Anonymous, 29 Nov 2008Thanks GSMArena team for wonderful review! P.S. Still wait... moreSE X1 is getting a bit outdated now. I've been using it for more than a month and it does not have the sexiness of the 3.8" screen of the Touch HD.
      Looking forward to getting rid of the X1 next week and buying this monster baby!

          The touchFlo interface is just a cover which sets beneath it a horrible OS (windows) .. Windows Mobile sucks

            I have to admit, it's certainly an outstanding spec sheet, but to me it appears, ever since Apple brought their iPhone to the market, one manufacturer after another is copying that touch based form factor! Only seem most other manufacturers, such as HTC here, to do a better job. But to me the initial credit goes to Apple. The TouchFLO interface really reminds me of Apple's iPhone UI.

                An amazing phone .. The screen is a killer
                Too bad it runs on Windows Mobile
                Please I beg you put ANDROID instead =)

                    Has anyone tried the "call recording"? Does it work well?

                      I bought my HTC Touch HD last week. It's incredibly excellent winmobile; and the gsmarena's review is correct and useful indeed. Tehran-Iran.

                        i don't like this phone that much

                        anyway there is an X1 photo in the review that means the X1 review might be very close.way to late but better than never.

                          I swear i have read this before somewhere.... The bit about the no hardware camera key and the iphone critised jogged my memory.

                          I cant think of where though...

                                      Best WinMob device so far. Really wish it can run on Android
