Video Review – HTC HD2
If you haven’t seen the phone in action, check out the reviews above. My initial thoughts -
- HUGE screen
- LARGE phone
- new Sense interface still as sluggish as the old TouchFLO interface (not better with Windows Mobile 6.5)
Would I want to buy one? nah, not now. Check out this review from Engadget if you want to know more about the HTC HD2.
Street price: HK$5,680 (US$728) from www.JipJipMobile.com
