5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic!,
By Seb (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews 1 - GPS is incredibly fast. Picks up a strong signal within seconds, which is unusually quick for a phone. 2 - There are thousands of apps out there for literally everything you could need, it just takes a little more searching to find them than it might with Apple. 3 - 1GHz processor and plenty of RAM makes it super fast - no waiting for anything. 4 - Auto dims and locks screen when it senses it is near your ear so no accidental button bashing, but lights up instantly when you need it. 5 - Incredibly responsive and accurate capacitive multi touch screen (pinch action zooming etc), which is huge (great for media and internet browsing). 6 - Integrated with social networking - the contacts list can actually be set to keep updated with Facebook profile pictures and statuses. 7 - Size isn't too big, which was one thing I had worried about before purchase. 8 - Internet browsing on this phone on T-mobile has actually been FASTER than browsing at home through 20Mbps broadband on a 3 month old £600 PC, and easy too. 9 - Personalisation is a big thing on this phone, with animated weather on the home screen that automatically sets itself to your current location, easy access e-mail, a great functional Calendar (actually Outlook with a HTC makeover), Twitter, Facebook etc. 10 - Big improvement over other HTC phones in speaker volume and also with HTC sense (touchflo 3D) - I've yet to see a windows mobile menu, so we get the functionality without the hideous Microsoft set up. It is quite simply a pleasure to use. Powerful, simple and free of any frustration.

Best smartphone on market, but needs modifications,
By anig-2 "anig-2" (London, UK) - See all my reviews Please visit xda-developers website where you will find (search their forums for) SWYPE - a phenomenal tool for vastly increasing your text entry speed, and a whole host of other modifications which you can download and install - for example, a tool for showing you your exact remaining battery percentage at the top-right, rather than the standard 3-bar chart. The phone has some nice touches. Hook it up to a laptop or PC and it offers you 3 clear options: use phone's internet connection as modem, use phone as mass-storage device (youe phone literally appears as a USB storage device, making file transfers very easy), or synchronise device with PC. Also, you can set the phone up as a wireless router, and connect to it with your laptop, using the phone's 3g internet connection. how cool is that? iPhone, eat your heart out - the HD2 has a bigger screen, better resolution, faster processor, more memory, and a more customisable user interface. Problems with the phone? of course - HTC messaging, the SMS software, has issues: it cannot mark SMS as unread, for example, and there is a bug whereby sometimes the phone doesn't send SMS so you have to reset then send yourself a SMS in order to clear the SMS outbox. But these are minor niggles I'm happy to put up with.

Big Improvment on XDA 11i, But is it better than an iphone?,
By The touch screen is clear, easy to read and sensitive (Too sensitive sometimes, In the beginning I accidentally called people whilst just holding the phone). The pinch to zoom is great. I am using it as a work phone and syncing with my pc is easy and problem free. We needed a large screen for our work as we use them for remote access to pc's and robots for technical support and it is brilliant for this. We are using Telnet and VNC on the phones, We are even able to talk to the customers on hands free at the same time. The only problem I have found with this phone is sometimes it will hang when you are switching between data connections, as long as you know this and you are patient it's not a problem. I have been reading some of the other reviews here and they have said that it is difficult to use things like Excel. I would agree with this. You do need a stylus if you are using these quite a lot. It's a shame that Microsoft software isn't more user friendly. I have found the texting and emailing rather easy. (Haven't been able to set up the push email due to security settings we can't get from our company, which is a shame, as it would work really well) The predictive typing is really good. Trying to type without it is a nightmare with my large fingers as I think I only hit about 75% of the correct keys at the moment I am improving, but it still comes up with the word I was trying to type. The camera is really good. The flash is really bright and makes a useful torch! The phone as a phone is really good and clear which is a big plus compared to my XDA! People can hear what I am saying in a noisy environment and the speakerphone is good and clear. Your "people" page is brilliant. You can see in an instant if you have received emails or messages from your most popular people and with one touch and your calling them. So because of this you can just about manage without voice calling. The Internet is good, wouldn't say brilliant, but good for a phone, again this is where pinch zoom really comes in handy. The negative things about this phone: I have had to do 1 soft start so far as it crashed. You have to do task manager every now and again to close down the apps that are still running if you come out of the window wrong. This is easy and not too much hassle but I do feel it shouldn't have to be done. The battery is ok. I have to change it during the day if I'm on the phone a lot. I do charge it in my van and when I'm in the office. I think its about 300 mins talk time, but I do use it a lot for other things as well. Is it better than an iphone ? My
