First Review of the HTC Touch HD

Posted By Mariella Moon Published in HTC

If you’ve ever wondered how the slick HTC Touch HD is faring, then rejoice because it’s got its first review yet. Unfortunately for us, English-speaking populace, the review is in German (which is not surprising given the HTC Touch HD is slated for a Europe release).

The reviewers at AreaMobile reviewed the HTC Touch HD based on design, operation, and browsing; video, music, and camera capabilities; and GPS, voice quality, and battery life. The reviewers noted that the HTC Touch HD could very well be the perfect smartphone if not for Windows Mobile’s issues and technical limitations. They also called it the first device that actually deserves to be called the “iPhone Killer” (sorry, HTC Touch Diamond) The large 3.8-inch screen was found to be responsive although the landscape keyboard is only available on the web browser. Call quality is a bit flat and using 3G doesn’t make a big difference in battery life unlike using 3G on the iPhone. That’s a big plus in my book.

Looks like this cool machine won’t ever get 3G on 850 band, so Telstra NextG isn’t going to work. Bummer…it was looking sooooo good.

It is a pretty good phone. But it is WM6.1… so it will always be a little unstable.

[...] it may be handy to get my wife a new GPS unit since she didn’t have any GPS software on her HTC HD Touch. I chose the Navman MY30 due to its size, cost and because it was relatively new – all-in-all [...]
