What I Wanted for Christmas…
While Christmas is over and the New Year looms in less than 24 hours, there is one thing I fervently wish for: the HTC HD2 smartphone! Catching glimpses of it at the media launch, the sleek and slim beauty caught the attention of many, including yours truly. Now being a fan of the original HTC HD, it is very obvious that the successor would be a mind-boggling device.
Upon looking at the specs, it is very hard to deny just how awesome the device really is. A 4.3-inch capacitive-based multi-touchscreen, powered by a Snapdragon CPU, and pumped to the ceiling with enough flash-based storage and memory, the HTC HD2 is literally a God-like device.
Some say it is the iPhone killer the marketplace has been waiting for…and I fully agree! Not only does it have higher specs, it is thinner than the iPhone 3GS, offers more or less the same functionality, and performs just as well as the iPhone. The only say iPhone purists will have against the HTC HD2 is the very fact that it comes preloaded with Windows Mobile 6.5 – an admittedly sleek mobile operating system (OS), but one that has a cluttered main menu area and bugs that need to be worked out.
However, word is on the street that Windows Mobile 7.0 (WinM7) is on the way out and is designed to rectify these glaring issues. Now that would be a real boost to the capabilities of the HTC HD2 as many have reported that this particular HTC smartphone is WinM7 ready.
How true, we wouldn’t know, but many are wating impatiently for the eventual upgrade to appear.
This is something I really wanted for Christmas…unfortunately, it never came through. Hmm…perhaps by my birthday then? Now if only the boys at HTC and its PR agency are reading this…*hint hint*
