Not really one of the latest gadget of the month, the HTC Touch HD is one of the exciting review we've picked from myDigitalport.com (based in Malaysia). We've done a quick unboxing to check out the insider parts of software. Definitely, HTC's Windows Mobile is one of the best mobile operating systems for handling on-screen dialing, so it won't sounds so burdening when it comes to software updates and technical support. But my only complaint relates to most touch-screen smartphone devices is to controll the volume when the phone's ringing.
It's not perfect though, and potential buyers in Asian markets should notice a few weaknesses in HTC GPS positioning. HTC Touch HD offers a wide range of tech-savvy features including WVGA resolution display screen, 5 Megapixels camera, GPS, 3G, and the latest version of Microsoft Windows Mobile. The combination of a large, high resolution touchscreen, faster processor, and excellent battery life makes it a winner among those looking for a highly reliable, tech-savvy smartphone. According to the myDigitalport.com Software Development specialist, thе Touch Diamond 2 dеfіnіtеlу brings ѕοmе kick іntο thе Windows Mobile market, bυt hοw dοеѕ іt stack against the smartphone competitors? Let's see.
No doubt, acting as a smartphone isn't the HTC Touch HD's strongest point. Even at myDigitalport.com, this model was not well accepted by buyers due to the technology features and the pre-installed applications were too 'stingy' compared to other competitor's brands such as Sony Ericson's Android devices and Apple iPhone. This is a device created to emphasize the 'smart' feature of a smartphone, while the 'phone' itself is secondary. Unlike other smartphones, this model does not come with numberpad hardware, so you'll have to do all your dialing either by choosing names out of the contact book or with a non-screen numberpad.
As soon as a call is received, a single tap of the button picks up the call, or a tap of another one sends it to voicemail. Being a touchscreen device makes it's too easy to accidentally hitting one of these buttons. More often than not, when I get a call and pull the device out of my pocket I find I'm either already talking to the person or they're already talking to my voicemail. The first impressions about the packaging : Excellent for both myDigitalport.com and HTC . We took quite a few days to review the hardware performances and took a few shots. Thanks to Mr. Fred Teoh for getting us this device from myDigitalport.com for having us receiving it delivered from Malaysia.View more on myDigitalPort.com/my
Fortunately, the screen display is worth all the attraction : a 3.8 inches and 800 by 480 pixels of sheer screen beauty. That's so big that we never find ourselves squinting when looking at anything on the screen, while playing games or tuning the HD videos on Youtube. The HTC Touch also comes with a stylus touch pointer, which is totally unnecessary. Afterall, most Windows Mobile phones were designed work with the stylus touch pointer, and many of the items that need to be tapped on are therefore small.
