HTC Touch HD review: Windows almighty - read the full textThe 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...

Hi, I'm hesitating between the Touch HD and the Diamond 2. Apart from the obvious difference in size and screen, any technical differences I should be aware of ?

This is a beautiful device as masta jason said. i have had it for a while now. but please note that this device is tri band HSDPA/UMTS if you navigate to the menus under the phone section settings and select band you will see that it supports USA 3G frequencies and well as the usual 900/2100 3G bands. Just doing my bit to help with the accuracy of an amazing site. keep it up GSM Arena. and a job well done. you're my first stop when looking for a mobile review

Hey, gsmarena! Why the speaker phone test chart shows different resulted data about Samsyng INNOV8? As in its own review page, the result was 78.9 - 75.7 - 77.5.

Which one is the right one about INNOV8, the last or the latest?

I'm using this device in South Africa. It's an absolutely beautiful, near-flawless stroke of genius that. I have used it for a month and a half now. Its only downsides are that the virtual keys are not visible in the dark, lack of flash for night photography, and the location of the storage card. Otherwise I love it to bits.

NEED HELP

Problems which i'm facing with my HTC TOUCH HD
1) Not able to use my nokia head set which is also 3.5 mm jack same like TOUCH HD,and vice versa if i use my TOUCH HD headset which is also 3.5 mm jack with my nokia music edition phone it shows (accesory)headset not supported,conclusion though both headsets are 3.5 mm then why we cannot use with each other sets.is this the problem with TOUCH HD or something else???????????

2) My TOUCH HD earpiece volume is very low that is what i feel ,i dont know about others,though i make it to the maximum level then also i feel its low as compare to other devices,is this normal ????????????

3) while talking over the TOUCH HD if i talk little louder i heard a echo of my own voice through the earpiece while conversations with others. IS THIS NORMAL my friends ??????????

4) Before i buy my TOUCH HD,i go through lots of search and research,i also read almost all comments on www.gsmarena.com site and the reviews by gsmarena.com in which gsmarena writes about so many features of this device like when it rings if u face down the device it automatically mutes the ringing volume in my TOUCH HD it doesnt happens,and if your stylus is not inside your TOUCH HD gives u warning on screen that your stylus is not inside your TOUCH HD.
any one facing the same problems

and in last i want the answers from all of you please help me in all these matters.
and is it possible if we get ROM update all the problem get solved what i just mentioned right now

Can anyone plz answer if there is a solution to the text msg system? I tried this on store and "keys" for letters r TOO small for my fingers. Rotate should b applied somehow with bigger keys.
Non existing flash is a drawback as well.
I rly think of disadvantages since i am about to spend 700Euros to buy a phone.

Hello everyone,
I have a Windows Mobile device myself and I get confused every time I read reviews of this site about Windows Mobile phones.
When talking about the phone book, always it is mentioned that "if you ever feel that the existing contact fields are not enough, you can always rename some of the existing ones and use them instead"
Can anyone guide me with this issue? Because until now, I've only seen Inesoft AddressBook which is capable of renaming the existing fields... but renaming the fields doesn't cause them to appear in the standard Windows Mobile contacts and only Inesoft can read them as fields (not notes) .... ??????

Some providers, like mine (Vodafone) block Skype using the GPRS network. (For obvious reasons...) In my HTC HD Skype works perfectly with a Wifi connection or thru Active Sync and the computer.

This is a fantastic phone. I miss my N82 because it's more of a phone. The Touch HD is more of a PDA.

Do not compare the Touch HD with an I Phone, they are seperated by miles. The I Phone only assets are it's incredible UI and the I Pod function. The Touch HD is a true pda phone. And don't say that it's copying the I Phone's looks. Its a complete touchscreen phone, a screen is square so the phone is square, it's the only design possible if you want to be taken seriously. Furthermore the HD outuns an I Phone without any problems and at least it has a usefull camera, textmessaging system, bluetooth connectivity, etc. etc.

Conclusion:
I Phone = rubbish
HTC Touch HD = King of the hill

I don't know if anyone noticed it before, but I'm afraid in the camera samples the position between the Nokia N82 samples and the Omnia ones got switched (the second thumb should refer to the Omnia I believe, or the conclusion of the Samsung being beaten by the competitors doesn't stand).
Cheers

windows "almighty" still has a looong way to come. I got htc hd and it is rather disappointing. Camera is brutal. One can't highlight a list of contacts oh the menu. It's time consuming when you need to delete 250 numbers because for some reason the appear twice. There are other bits that don't seen to work in the htc hd. I would not recommend this device to anyone.
