With the debut of the Windows Mobile 6.5, HTC has made its new HTC HD2 official and will be available this month. The company TouchFLO 3D is now called HTC Sense which integrated more functions and social networking capability with the user interface without going into Windows Mobile’s menu.
The HTC HD2 also features a large 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen, built in WiFi, GPS, bluetooth and powered by Qualcomm’s new 1Ghz Snapdragon mobile processor. The HD2 is the first Windows Phones that uses a capacitive display and microUSB connector. In addition, HTC smartphones has finally started to equip with a flash LED. There are 2 flash LED at the back of the HD2, which is also useful as a torch light. According to SlashGear’s live hands on report, “there’s no pause or delay to wait for jagged images to be rescaled, or half-chopped paragraphs to shuffle onto the screen. The capacitive touchscreen itself is swift and smooth, and has instantly left resistive Windows Phones in the shade.”
The capacitive touch display on the HD2 supports multitouch for viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a pinch of your fingers. HTC has also included a new Windows-based version of its Twitter application, HTC Peep. The pictures you take with the 5MP camera can also be quickly shared via Facebook or Twitter.
