At first, I went "Wow!". Then I realised the limitations. The main one being the complete lack of onboard memory. Seriously, if you want this to take on a certain other full touchscreen phone, you need to match it's capacity.

The resistive screen is a downer as well, especially with no D-Pad. Makes gaming useless and impossible. :(]]>Sep 11th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 8:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/
I *know* that the SDHC slot means 32gb microSD's. But my point is: for a multimedia phone [3.5mm jack, finally!], we should have BOTH. It's just as grave an error as the iPhone's *lack* of a memory card slot.

I'm not talking RAM here, I'm very happy with the figures posted. Blows my KS20 out of the water :)

The point is, this is supposed to be a multimedia phone, and it still has big flaws that I hope are corrected by launch.]]>Sep 11th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 7:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/

A killer of a phone! I hope I can get it into my hands asap. ]]>Sep 11th 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 7:56AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 8:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/
The Kaiser [my previous phone] runs the MSM7200 chipset, not the 7201a. The 7201 includes a processor and chipset upgrade, but get this:

NO hardware video acceleration [as designated by the "a"].

That's a damn shame, although the Kaiser didn't have drivers to begin with, heh. But regardless, it will be a fairly easy port, considering the codebase for Android already has some stuff in place for the 7201 I believe.]]>Sep 11th 2008 8:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 13th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Dec 3rd 2008 6:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/Sep 11th 2008 10:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/
Iphone looks like every early WM device, minus the hardware bottons. PPC 6600 (released 4 years ago) - hardware bottons = iPhone form factor

Whos's coping who?

Form factor: I prefer the big iPhone screen, but want a slide-out keyboard - HTC, make a "pro" version.

Interface: I like multi-tasking (don't tell my girl friend). I like having my daily schedule, the weather and stocks on my Today screen. As Sony Ericsson have released the SDK for their new "Panels" interface - so much the better. That means It'll be available as a UI for most WinMob phones - I expect.

OS: WinMob has greater capabilities than iPhone. Period. End of story. The only complaint is the limit to 62k colors of screen resolution (Symbian phones resolve like 200 million colors, but I digress).

End-user-experience: Actually, I mean end-to-end user experience and Apple has this licked - hands down. Now, if the boyz on the Zune team can tackle that and make it all work with a WinMob phone - AND WITHOUT THE DREADED CUPERTINO-STYLE DRM TRASH - consider it game over.

Winner: Windows Mobile - with a little help from HTC and Sony Ericsson

@mphayvanh: Your uninformed opinion notwithstanding, all I've used for the past 6 years has been Blackberry and WinMo after Palm folded its tent. Your paranoid assumptions of any other consideration not lining up with yours to the Nth-degree notwithstanding, get informed, _then_ form your opinion.]]>Sep 11th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/11/htcs-touch-hd-gets-even-more-dreamy/
