Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Hold great craftsmanship in your hand with a unique design that is simple yet beautiful from inside out. Clean lines, compact form, and elegant construction give the HTC HD mini the looks that fit any place, time or circumstance. The HTC HD mini features HTC Sense – a user experience that is simple to use, amazing to look at, and loaded with valuable applications.
Make It Mine
Create a perfect phone for you by putting shortcuts to the most important people, web sites, or most used applications right on the home screen. Prioritize your essentials by arranging the tabs of the key phone features to suit your needs.
Stay Close
Stay close to those you care about with all the ways to get in touch and all your past interactions neatly organized by people – not by applications.
Go from email to a voice call in just one touch. Get everyone from an email involved in a multi-party call with a couple of taps. And take the challenge out of jumping between calendar appointment and phone when trying to join a conference bridge – now you’re guided with a big reminder button – so you can easily join in on the call.
Keep track of everyone’s real-time Twitter™ updates on the built-in client. Easily dive into a conversation or share your own thoughts and pictures. You can even post your precise GPS location with a couple of taps.
Discover the Unexpected
Some design features of HTC HD mini are much better experienced than explained. For example, you can virtually feel the weather on the lifelike animated wallpaper that automatically reflects your location.
Experience a phone ringer that knows when it has been heard and when it should ring loudly for your attention. The ringer volume lowers when the G-sensor on your phone detects that the phone has been picked up. On the other hand, when the proximity sensors detect that the phone is in your pocket or a purse, the ringer volume scales up to ensure that you don’t miss an important call.
Give your music collection the visual décor it deserves. With just one tap, your phone searches the web for the actual album art cover and replaces the placeholder image in your music library.
The HTC HD mini, with capacitive touch technology, is designed for pure finger touch control. Zoom in and out of web pages, word documents, PDFs, pictures, or emails with just a simple pinch. Set up calendar appointments, reply to emails, and adjust your phone settings on the interface optimized for use with your fingers.
Bring the HTC HD mini with you on the road, and you'll never have to hunt for a Wi-Fi® hotspot for your laptop. Your phone simply connects to superfast 3.5G cellular networks and becomes your personal wireless access point – anytime, anywhere.

Anyone who's thinking of getting the HTC HD 2 or the Desire or the Legend: STOP. This phone is worth considering.
For some reason its slipped through the cracks because of the demand for Android and the HD 2 being the leading windows mobile phone at present. However this phone offers all the same features as the HD 2 (give or take, i think a few small things are missing and theres an issue with the market place which il get on to in a minute) but its smaller.
The first thing i should mention is the CPU, it does the job for the handset but you do occasionally get a little delay on some things or when your running several large programs, its has just over half the power of the Snapdragon on the HD2, clocking 600 Mhz instead of the 1000Mhz. However, this allows for a smaller handset and so the phone fits neatly in my pocket as aposed to the HD2 or the Iphone.
The screen is pretty good, very clear capacitive touch screen, however due to an resolution incompatibility there is a problem with the market place; almost 70% of the apps on the Windows Marketplace dont work and arn't listed when you search them on this device due to a resolution issue. This may put people off, alot, but personally i dont mind, the phone does everything i want it to do anyway.
For entertainment, its pretty good, the battery suffers a bit if your doing alot of browsing for a length of time or using it as a modem, but the picture is good and it can take standard headphone jacks.
As an organizing tool i think its fantastic, still has the compatibility of a Windows mobile phone, but with the slick and intuitive feel of other Moible OS's. For entertainment, it can do the basics; music, web browsing (opera mobile or internet explorer)and videos. Battery might not like it but its do-able on a days charge. Feels good to hold and use, and aside from the issue with windows market place and a problem with updating texts with Microsoft my phone (which i think only a small percentage of phones have had so far- texts from my last phone caused my CPU to go nuts and slowed the phone down, annoying but nothing major) its very smooth sailing.
Now i just hope they deside to update it with Windows mobile 7 when that comes along end of this year!
Feel free to ask further questions, andc check out the HTC website for more information on HTC sense (worth looking up, very usefull peice of intergration software) and the handset, or go to GSM arena for a full breakdown of its hardware and a 3rd party review.

The phone is great looking and the screen has a fantastic image. Once you get it setup it seemed to go downhill from there. The OS seemed very slow and the response of the touch screen did not seem to live up to HTC standards. It took multiple pushes on the screen to get an app to work and got more frustrating as time went on. The windows marketplace leaves a lot to be desired also, didn't expect the app store of apple but something is really needed here if you want anything without a cost to it.
Sorry to say but this was a big disappointment as i was looking for an option to going down the iphone route. I wish there was another option for a phone this size that worked as well as the iphone.
I would recommend you find a store that has a live phone to play with and save your time and money and pick something else.

I've had this phone now for 3 months and have hoped against hope it will grow on me. Last night after it dialled a friend in Australia for me (without my knowledge) I decided enough is enough and have just ordered a blackberry. Texting on it is a nightmare with it often popping its own letters in for you so it takes longer to go back and delete the extras than it does to text the whole message in the first place. The slide for Answer/Ignore works as and when it feels like it (actually the whole phone is a bit like that to be honest.. reminds me of my pc.. that works when it wants too as well) but I guess being windows based this was to be expected. If receiving a text longer than the usual one message worth of charactors trying to find the 2nd/3rd page is more hassle than it's worth. The alarm only works if you have the ringer/system volume up to full which is a pain as I like to put the phone on silent when I sleep but use the alarm for waking (have been late for work several times). The Date connection NEVER switches off (regardless of whether you set it to off or not). Bluetoothing a video you've taken is virtually impossible and then trying to email it to yourself instead is equally as frustrating and it doesn't accept other users/computers to browse it to retrieve the files for you. Photos get put wherever it fancies putting them regardless of the albums you have set up for it or your storage card. I guess like anything if it looks to good to be true then it is and on the surface this does look like a cracking phone, but once you get into it and use it for a while you realise it just doesn't reach any potential and is a real let down. For a smart phone it's really not so smart. I can't wait to get rid of it.
