I saw an HD2 in person last night...

[SAWYER]

O_O

It is the most glorious and badass phone I have ever seen in my life! It makes every other phone look like a toy

 

[secretanchitman]

im with you - it looks really good. htc has done a really good job in skinning winmo.

 

[rudeguy]

its a SWEET phone but its just too big. I carry my phone in my pocket...that thing needs its own briefcase.

It's not that big. It's just a bit wider and taller than the HTC Dream/G1, but a lot thinner.

It fits in my jean pockets just fine and they're not baggy or carpenter style. Maybe if you have really skinny jeans or tiny pockets..

 

[preslove]

Yeah, there's a reason why it sold out in-store within a couple hours.

The thinness counteracts it, though. My HD2 replaced a slide-out feature phone and, honestly, the HD2 feels nicer in my pocket than the old dumb-phone.

I want to get the EVO when it comes out, but I'm afraid about availability issues...

I wish this phone had a real keyboard. My hand is too large for the on-screen ones.

 

[Pliablemoose]

the HD2 on screen keyboard is the best I've used the keyboard is pretty large in landscape mode

The buttons on that thing are larger than any hardware keyboard I have seen.

 

[soydios]

The buttons on that thing are larger than any hardware keyboard I have seen.

Then I presume that you haven't seen the Touch Pro 2 (also by HTC)?

HTC knows how to make onscreen keyboards very well. Almost as good as the iPhone one.

Agreed. As much as I like to bash on the iphone, its keyboard it very nice. I am using the HTC keyboard currently and love it. Even when I do mash buttons, it self corrects. With a lil practice, I only type about half of most words and it autocompletes them for me.

But the sausage finger problem has plagued cell phone users from day one. They make bluetooth keyboards if its that much of an issue for you.

The iPhone one is the one that is too small for me. It kept keying the wrong character. I will check out the HD2 soon.

I have and the buttons seem just as big to me. They are not spaced apart but are just as big.

Don't get me wrong...I love the phone. Its just not for me. Maybe once my diet and the gym pays off and my pants fit a bit looser....

 

[rudeguy]

ps: I thought you were done here?

I find it fits in my pocket a lot better than my Droid ever did, because its so much thinner.

Then again, I used to carry around a Nokia N95...that bad boy was a mini-brick of portable power!!

The N95 is nerdarific!

I'm using a myTouch, so I am used to thin

 

[Deeko]

I sometimes miss the N95. I've yet to have a phone with a camera that even came close. And the dual slider action was just cool!

i haven't seen in person but really like all i've read.

i'm currently using the 3gs 16Gb iPhone(which i love) - i use it 75% for podcasts/music, 15% for calls, 10% internet browsing.

I was wondering if it would be a good fit. I'd probably buy one, then sell my iphone to help offset the costs.

I've seen a few for sale locally on Craigslist, but is there a good reputable place to buy unlocked online?

I would say NO.
I love my HD2 but the music app for it is very lacking.
No where close to the Iphone.
Of course I'm using the Sense music player that came with it.
The problem I have is it loads up the music database very slow and it get stuck alot so I would have to reset it.

 

[CTrain]

Having have this for 2 weeks now, I love it but I can see why alot of people would not like it.
The whole problem is Window mobile.
HTC have done a great job covering it up but the simplicity of it is no where near the iPhone.
Its great for nerds like me who wants to customize the crap out of their phone but for everyone else, they might not like it.
Its bsically like a small computer and it takes work to get it working to how you like it.
I'm keeping mine until the EVO comes out.
I have a feeling that running Android will make this phone fly..
