My longtime love with Windows Mobile blossomed with my new purchase of this really BIG mobile,HD2

# Surprisingly slimmer & lighter than Milestone or iphone!

# Brilliant Display,really gorgeous to watch 4.3" movies!

# Fast,ya its really fast,Touch UI is great

# FM,A2DP,5MP good cam with flash,WOW!

# My God,it has 'WiFi Router' function,something damn new!

# Superb Opera,with MultiTouch...'Pinch' Zoom..!

*i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/brow1.jpg *i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/brow2.jpg

# 8GB card in Box,surprising (many reviews told only 2GB)

# 1Gz proxy,448MB RAM! (Fight is going on for hidden 576MB)

# So many apps...so many 'tweaks'....expecting 1.66ROM in India?!

# BUT,........man .....its Winows with usual Memory Leaks & Freezes!....hang on!

@dhan-shh,

Buying Windows mobile is like buying 'Windows 95' in 2010!

This is the world of 'Androids' & Mac! Why you need 'outdated' platform?

Anyway congrats for your 'monster' !

Its a wonderful phone, no doubt about it! And when it would be upgraded to WM 7, I am sure it would become a killer phone!

@OP: What do you do for a living man ? So many high-end phones ? Give your "Motorola Milestone" to me man :p
Do you ever sell any of your phones ?

this phone is the best phone and winmo is used in the best manner by HTC on this phone.

Do remember that this phone is going to get winmo 7 update once released.

Windows 7 looks entirely different,

Windows Mobile 7, the next in line mobile OS from Microsoft, is likely to be revealed next week at the MWC in Barcelona. When released, it would replace Windows Mobile 6.5 as the mainstream mobile OS from Microsoft. From what little we knew about it, it can be assumed that the OS will be a completely new one, built from the scratch and will be quite unlike outgoing Windows Mobile versions.

- No support for custom UI's (No TouchFLO!, SENSE)
- Full Integration with Zune and Xbox
- New API for marketplace
- Apps only downloadable via marketplace
And lastly,
- No support for multitasking!

WinMo 7 looks very ugly man....!

btw,@dhan-shh,tell me the truth! u must be having a cell phone shop and selling the phones after using for a short while (repacking without any trace),....c'mon man...tell the truth???!

do u really use all the phones? then u must be using 'cellphone' guards for carrying all mobiles...ha ha ha!

Those are not winmo 7 snapshots. it's SPB shell running on windows 6.1/6.5.
winmo7 will be lot more refined and fluid.

...More Hardware wonder from HTC HD2.............>

WiFi n (802.11n) is supported in HD2 in 'hidden' manner (need a minor Registry tweak),

If router supports 802.11n,then we'll get 600Mbit/s speed,wow...unbelievable!

HD2 also supports 'FM transmitter' function in hidden way (in addition to FM stereo receiver function).....Brilliant proxy?!

HTC HD2 contains the Broadcom BCM4329 chip, a chip which is capable of both WIFI N and also acting as a FM transmitter (useful for connecting with your car radio)

SEXIEST MOBILE ON EARTH!

Kin One, codenamed Turtle, is an ultra compact, almost pebble-like slider with a hardware QWERTY keyboard that's small enough for one-handed typing. It's got a 5 megapixel camera, 4GB of internal storage, a GPS receiver and a Zune media player. It has also got multi-touch (pinch) zooming.


Will it involve Win7 is a point of controversy!


Looking forward this sexy killer in India soon!
