HTC HD2 Review New phone in 2014
Upcoming Android Phones by HTC : HTC HD2
The HTC HD 2 has never been a humble device even before it
became the world’s most adaptable platform for mobile programmers it stole
headlines for its sheer power in 2009,
- it’s one Gigahertz Qualcomm Scorpion processor was bleeding edge
- it’s 4.3 inch display positively massive by the standard of the day.
That large screen area drove the hardeware size up sure but
HTC did a good job keeping its chassis pocketable while it was still a big
device for the time, its footprint today seems petite when compared with modern
smart phones like the HTC One , it’s 11 millimeter thickness sharp physical
hardware keys and attractive combination a brushed metal and soft-touch plastic
on the back make for a very handsome device.
One that holds up pretty well even today going back to the
display, there’s more to it than just sheer sized, it’s also capacitive and
capable of multi-touch input both firsts for a device running Windows Mobile
which was a platform built for resistive touchscreens , the HD 2 shipped with Windows
Mobile 6.1 but it wasn’t the tap happy Pocket PC operating system yesteryear
instead HTC had developed one of the most complete shells ever for this
version of Windows a shell which made its debut on this device under the now
familier name HTC Sence, it’s amazing how deeply senses hooks dug into Windows
Mobile masking almost every aspect Microsoft aging OS and replacing many of its
stock programs with custom-built HTC apps and well in 2014 we might complain
about such a heavy skin in 2009 this was absolutely critical to making the HD 2
palatable to a consumer audience expecting iPhone like fluidity and I cannot
repeat course the real beauty of the HD 2 is that it was able to offer the best
of both worlds.
It’s software was able to deliver much of the Tappan go
simplicity of the iPhone but the powerful underpinnings have Windows Mobile
were still accessible to those users with the desire to tweak and paired with
the phones BV hardware and some well-placed marketing by HTC it made HD2 a
sell-out success several times over a big win both for its manufacturer and T
Mobile its exclusive launch partner in the state.
Unlike with other phones though the HD2 success story didn’t
stop there, the device is incredibly mater friendly thanks to its ability to
install different OS’s from the SD card of flash memory and that week ability
combined with an already high affection for the device in the Windows user
community created a kind of perfect storm the dev world rallied behind the HD2,
hacking it to run operating systems ranging from the different flavors have
Android all the way up to Kit Kat to Windows Phone 7 to Firefox OS 2.2 Ubuntu
distributions even 2 proof of concept builds of Windows RT yeah the tablet OS
combined with the official supportive its maker been terms of accessories.
The phone has reached almost mythical levels of worship, don’t
like they are going away anytime soon, today the HTC HD2 stands as a monument
to a steadfast computing platform and a testament to the power of a well-built
machine to capture the imagination and the affection a generation have smartphone
enthusiasts.
