I have had my HD2 less than a week.

I have just emailed HTC to tell them that I will be returning it if I do not get answers. It is that simple. The important question is Windows Mobile 7 upgradable?

It leaves me with a bad feeling…

What HTC is doing is completely UNETHICAL !!

It’s like New HD2 vs Old HD2 !

WTF and for THE SAME PRICE!

I TOLD YOU WE WERE BETA TESTERS !!

I’ve read on the internet an comment from an owner of this Pocket PC and she seems to be very disappointed in this miracle.

Here is the link – [...]/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Because I cannot post comments on the other amazon.com, I just wanted to spit it out somewhere, so I guess American amazon will work.

Here is the answer:

You seem to be somehow frustrated by this mobile phone. You don’t like almost ANY of it’s features, thus it is a very functional and ergonomic device. I was laughing my a** at the part where you said about Word, Excel… Go buy yourself a netbook. Come on people, netbooks are netbooks, notebooks are other thing, PCs and Macs – another thing. This is a Smartphone/Communicator/Pocket PC, not a desktop or whatever! When you will understand that a device like this is meant to simplify your life and help you ON THE GO with most of your tasks, while on the move, or when you don’t really have access to a real desktop computer? It is not supposed to make for you reports, graphs or cook a cake for God’s sake, it is just a freaking cool pocket PC with a very (very) good hardware base and an very (very) appealing and beautiful interface. Peace.

I received mine in the end of December. A month is probably not enough to discover all bugs but so far I’m happy with the phone.

First of all, it is really fast. The 1GHz processor does it’s job.

The screen resolution is high and the screen size is big enough to surf the web with comfort.

HTC shell is something new to me (I used to have E-ten with Spb Mobile shell) but getting used to it.

Cannot say that I’m impressed with the still picture quality (SE phones have better pictures with less Mpx) but video recording is relatively good. There is no button for shutter so you always have to click on the screen to take picture – not convenient.

I need to charge my phone every second day – that definitely exceeded my expectations, taking into consideration fast processor and big hi-res screen.

The screen uses almost full width of the body, which sometimes causes unexpected clicks when I grab the phone (slowly getting used to it). When browsing e-mails the shell has button “reply to all” on the left side and when you click it, it changes to “send”. One time I grabbed the phone and it replied to all and sent an empty message to a huge distribution list. So keep it in mind and be careful I hope there will be a way to protect it somehow.

The phone is bigger than I expected – it’s exactly the size of 12oz beer can (you can hide one behind the phone).

The sound level and quality in conversations is excellent. Also, my Highlander hands-free connects very quickly with good sound level.

So far I did not have chance to use built-in GPS. I don’t expect anything special comparing to other similar phones.

It does not have a stylus. If you turn the phone, full size keyboard is big enough but.. I think I will get a stylus. At least you need one, when you surf Internet.

Overall – some little flaws, which I found so far, will not be enough to downgrade my 5 star rating. I really enjoy the phone and recommend it to others who is ready to spend [...] bucks on a gadget.
