Is It Your Type? Body The Three S's Touch

Apr 8, 2010, 11:48 PM by Philip Berne

The T-Mobile HTC HD2 is the biggest, baddest Windows Mobile touchscreen you can buy, though you wouldn't know it with HTC's impressive Sense interface. PhoneScoop reviews this tablet phone, which could be the pinnacle of the current generation of Windows Mobile.

The T-Mobile HTC HD2 is the largest touchscreen phone on the market, running Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC's Sense interface concept. If you like Web browsing, showing off photos or watching movies, you'll appreciate the large display. Even buyers considering a tablet, like an Apple iPad, will find plenty of ebook reading and multimedia software on board.

I haven't used this phone, but is it me or is the amount of information Opera is able to show on that screen kind of uh... low? (Looking at CNN.com) ,

size does matter!

This phone is just too big for everyday practical use. Imagine this brick when you put a skin on it, even bigger.

The overall size is barely bigger than an iPhone. There is very little extra space around the screen like on most other touchscreen phones. The HD2 is almost completely screen.

Corrections

Having a clock in the top bar in all screens is available in the settings(settings > all settings > clock and alarm > more > display clock in title bar in all aplications), and you can rearange the order of the Sense tabs (settings > personalize > home screen tabs).

Opera 10 fixes the issues with scrolling and cliking on links not registering, but gives up pinch to zoom. Opera refits text to the screen better if you use double click to zoom, instead of pinch to zoom,
