HTC Touch HD Cell Phone
Seriously. In the video it says so: Touch HD is where "your wildest fantasies come to life." I want one even more now.
In the spirit of international relations I give you some leaksauce straight outta T-Mobile UK. HTC's HD2 will launch across the pond November 6th, available on monthly contracts only. How do I know? Because Americans and Europeans generally flip-flop the month and day when they write dates, so that "06/11/2009" listed on the screengrab from T-Mobile UK's corporate database means November 6, 2009, not June 11, 2009. Smart, huh?
Well, it's smart... Now wouldn't this make a nice stocking stuffer for all you Windows Mobile users out there? Mikechannon.net (warning, direct PDF link) - and then Engadget Mobile - posted a photo of the internal HTC service manual for the"Blackstone" phone (aka Touch HD), and it contains this interesting bitof specification-speak:HSPA/UMTS dual-band (850/1900 MHz) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for N. America Translated to layman's English,... First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day? I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media. Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials.
Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to... Chloe Sladden, VP of Special Project Programming at Current TV, comes on the show to talk about "Hack the Debate." Current has teamed up with Twitter to broadcast a near-real-time river of tweets with each Presidential (and VP) debate this year. River of tweets? Huh? Learn about it on the show, and also catch up on the latest cell phone news. Plus: TWO Top 5 lists! D'oh! Q.Hey Noah, Love the work that you do. I was just wondering if you heard any whispers when the Touch HD will be coming to the US and if so which carrier. From the stuff I've seen I love it but if the wait is too long (say over 6 months) I'll just settle for the Touch Pro. Thanks!
A. I'm amped up about the Touch HD, as well. So far there's no word - or even whispering - about a US carrier.
I know HTC is interested in bringing... I'm publishing this one as much because I want it to happen as
anything else. I got it from two unrelated sources late last week that
T-Mobile is prepping a version of HTC's Touch HD as their next Android
phone. One of the sources was the ever talkative Anonymous Tipster,
but the other one was somebody with a decent track record when it comes
to accurately leaking info on upcoming handset releases. Neither of
them are... Pros: Lots of functions. Built pretty sturdily. Both physical and screen works well. Cons: Clunky. No battery life, dies before completing a days work (7hrs if you work it is all I got). Insufficient memory. Needs to remove battery cover to use SD memory card. Likes to freeze up. Bluetooth works spotty. Slow response. Scrolling and gestures poor. Many functions but no programs to use them. Summary: Not for heavy use unless you have spare battery or you can keep it plugged in. Jack of all trades but definitely masters none well. If you don't need windows for your job don't get it. Not user friendly. Needs faster cpu and more memory. Not for everyday use. Display too small. Wouldn't buy again. Summary: It constantly freeze up. T-mo exchanged my phone twice and all three of them had the same problem. And the funny thing is t-mo tech support told me not to install any third-party software. Than what i am going to do with this powerful phone? Pros: Setting up and adding contacts easy to do, just plug into computer and it automatically updates your contacts and your calender which is also good since you have backup files on phone and computer. Sound quality is great i could listen to music and watch movies all day on it. This phone is really light weight and easy to carry around. Easily customizable and makes this literally your own phone. the screen itself is really durable. I was working and it got dropped straight on a nail and there is Cons: Phone case cracks easily but you can send the phone in for a new one. When i receive picture messages my phone will often freeze up and I will be forced to turn the phone off then back on to look at the file. The boot up process is really slow compared to most other phones I have owned but this one is also a lot more complicated which may add to the lag. Sometimes if I send a message and one is trying to come in at the same time the messaging feature will lock up so I can access anything else Summary: Overall I believe this phone is worthwhile getting if you can look past the minor flaws that this phone contains. I would recommend purchasing screen protectors and maybe looking for like a rubber sleeve that can go over the phone so the case doesn't crack so easily. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: Display, keyboard, 3G Cons: UMA (wifi calling support from Provider) Summary: certainly a good phone but missing UMA 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: Display is great! The apps are terrific and the ease of use. Love the keyboard and the touch screen is very receptive. Cons: The battery life. That is the only thing I do not like! They need a better battery for this device it is a power-user! Summary: I am happy with the phone. Hope they come up with a solution to the short battery life. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful All HTC Touch HD user reviewsI have another question and need an EXPERT opinion. i wanna know what phone should i get. my att contract is over in 2 days and i need to see what phone i should i get.

I need to make phone calls, use it as my main music device, browse the web, and mainly, customizing + many apps. i dont kind the price tag on either but i really need an expert opinion on this. i narrowed it down to these two as my... I'm a fan from Thailand.
I was thinkin' about getting a new phone between BB Storm and HTC HD.
Would it be possible for you to do a Dog-Fight between those two models?
Thanx and peace out...
