Oh I was extatatic when I heard the first time from this device.
It was 1000 mHz, oh and that would be, like 10 times better then my HTC Diamond.
Ive tried it, and after some quirks and some “get used toos”
I love this thing…
As soon as I got the message from the store I practically flew there to get the thing.
Payd too much (I know) But I wanted it.
I was playing with it, and well you got to love the screen and the capacitive thing.
After hours days playing there I noticed on tiny #fail #flaw
It was called windows mobile 6.1
It slows the hardware of this device and it was not “finger friendly”
Let me sum the problems.
It freezes on me
the On screen keyboard was horrible, inaccurate. It took me really long to reply a text message.
And after using it, well you do get bored of the weather animation. (yeah I know I turned it off)
But I noticed with the original stock rom. It was not responsive and choppy sometimes.
I never knew what that was.
After playing with some roms on the XDA forum, I noticed my device was getting better ?
Faster responsive.
What the ,.,. was that ??
Finally I wiped the device doing a FULL “task 29″ and started to update the radio.
To 2.09.50.29_2
This one wasn’t recommended With the NL versions. But we aught to try.
Then a rom ?? I like a stable rom with some eyecandy.
So I used the LEON rom series. And OMG I really got the phone I wanted !!
The onscreen keyboard is near enuff perfect, I won`t do the typeO ever again.
Ifs fast and looks alright.
The fact that this rom is perfect imho. Because of>
Its got the taskmanager (the normal nice one)
So multitasking will work !
Thanks to the cookie hometab, the HTC sence ui is customizable.
Meaning ? you can click and drag items (like the clock) and move em around)
And thanks to the big screen it’s a joy to read your favorite pdf books on.
Thanks to the ADOBE acrobat REFLOW function, it just Reformats the text of a book nicely onto that big screen.
The Camera.
Well phones with a camera have come a long way since. I remember the time that I got this nokia 7910.
With a camera. It was one of the first phones with a cam. And it was crap.
The HD2 has a 5 Mp cam so on superfine (with the + 5 Mp tweak as seen on XDA developers)
Well its Awsome.
And as you all know my opinion of the fruit phone and that would be more like a toy phone.
And a toy phone isn’t bad at all. The Iphone is perfect as it is.
And some people always have to compare the two phones.
Iphone is cool out of the box and it works. Most WMX devices need some tweaking before they do what they are supposed to.
And That is where the HD2 has its charmes, Its weird but you have to be in charge of what you want with it.
Battery live.
Some special people (I call em idiots) still used to the uselessness of a nokia 3210 like phone.
A phone that has this crazy standby time of exceeding one week.
They begin whining on forums.
Don’t like HD2 it only last one or two days.
My (crap) device does 6 days. “whatever”
HDC devices WINmo are like little laptops.
And FULL SCREEN video / Stereo Music / WIFI / NAME IT you got it !
And does the device you got over there, does it do all of that ??
And Call me stupid but smartphones or whatever are just small laptops and you can make em do as a phone too !
And it is kind of silly to complain about battery life, of two days.
Try to charge it .,. when you do sleep. Problems solved. I am amazing.
And If you get one.. or a “what ever” phone with a LI ION battery Charge it the first time us use it for a couple of hours.
Remember when you connect it to your pc “USB” that it is 500 mAh. So charging and syncing gets slow.
For better charging use the provided charger ( 1000 mAh ) so that would charge better and quicker.
CARkit ??
There is this great car kit available for the HD2.
It does the charging gooseneck thing at once.
As I do like it.
It does NOTHING. You have to remove the back cover of your phone and replace it with one with a hole or something.
So that it will charge the phone. And it will go automatically to the NAVI screen.
What the.. Is a NAVI screen ??
Nothing special what so ever, It’s a GUI that starts up as soon as you hook the CARkit up.
With large Buttons (so you really can,t miss) Aww and this idea could be so nice. But the guys over at htc thought everyone uses google maps all the time or footprints.
So the NAViscreen . is crap for me.
I use Copilot.. NL version.
This carkit will cost you a hefty 80 euros.
I Got An ACTIVE carkit for 15 euros !!
You know the SUCK windshield thingies. A cable with a 3.5 jack plug.
Hook it up to My AUX on the car stereo, plug in the USB.
Now I play music on the phone, that goes on to my car stereo.
And If you decide to call me. The sound will mute and we can speak HANDSFREE.
(Im lovin it)
Marketplace
Really ,.. wouldn’t it be great to have all that same shit Iphone has on the marketplace too?
Be real, aint gonna happen anytime soon.
Windows phone /WinMO games still suck.
And the marketplace .. Ist better in any view.
Just a few apps and the usability level would be sub zero.
A friend told me that MS plans to integrate with Xbox live marketplace.
I really don’t see why it would be better then.
And ive seen the early release with windows phone they just HAD to make a new MARketplace.
And look … It’s a new UI. But the insides still says crap.
But… you don’t buy a WINmo device because of its plethora of games and usable apps. At least I don’t.
I know it is Fun to have a lightsaber fight with some friend using only your phone. But then again #USELESS
Im the simple guy, I just wanna see my pictures and make a call, upload shit pics n vids. Get email and directions.
Read boos on it, play music.
And the things above that I really really desire in a phone. Gues what ?? The HD2 does a pretty good job at it.
The HD2 is not just a smartphone (like most of the HTC devices) Its more much more.
Therefore this phone is not for your average sms/call type of phone user. They would HATE it.
Options and buttons to touch would be a disaster for the average user.
And A WINmo device can do. Just remember CAN DO. And It would be good if you get into the winmo first and knew what you did before you got this one.
Then only then you could appreciate the hardware.
I did some work on it After I got the phone, new roms new radio teaks and everything.
So if you get this one, be prepared to get your hands dirty.
But IT IS WORTH IT
As I am in love with this device. Im not the person to give it a review and rate it.
It works for me and it is the best Ive had (HTC for ever)
