HTC's HD2 has landed at Engadget (hands-on) {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 4th 2009 11:27AM Thanks Tbone. I guess I'll be waiting for this phone to come to one of the Big 3. :-(

Nov 4th 2009 11:09AM A question for the more technical folks:
Does T-Mobile use all the same spectrums as AT&T? More specifically, could I buy this on T-Mobile, cancel and put it on AT&T with no signal issues due to the phone's radio?

Nov 4th 2009 10:42AM When you do the review, can you please restrain yourselves from paraphrasing "it's not the iPhone" in every paragraph?
Comparisons are one thing in a review, but blatant biases are not useful.
HTC HD2 officially coming to US, out in Europe and Asia today! {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 4th 2009 10:38AM The only intelligent part of what you just said was "All four major carriers have good and bad areas in coverage," which is quite true.
In my area AT&T trumps T-Mobile pretty solidly on voice, and hands down on 3G -- I speak from experience, as I tried it for a few weeks when the G1 came out.
And for nationwide coverage, something important to those who travel often, AT&T and Verizon beat T-Mobile pretty thoroughly on voice, and astronomically on 3G (especially Verizon; it may be a little slower and pricier, but it's almost everywhere). No sensible individual can dispute this.
T-Mobile is cheaper for a reason. If it works for your needs, I'm happy for you, I really am. But it doesn't work for my needs.

Why are pretentious pricks so quick to defend the leader?
Apparently what you describe is as much of an iPhone thing than an AT&T thing, per some folks in the UK:

(Note: I've been on AT&T for years in the DC suburbs; a little spotty, but overall not bad at all for voice. 3G is another issue.)
And I speak the truth, T-Mobile's 3G coverage is pathetic. And I cite their recent voice outage simply because it's timely, it's high-profile, and it only serves to make customers of other carriers even more skeptical of the weakest of the Big 4.
Also, I'm not a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth fanboy zealot about my devices. While I'm sure many iPhone users might be happy to uproot their lives and move to where they have good 3G coverage on whatever carrier their new Apple-logo-bearing significant other is on, us sensible folks weigh the pros and cons of devices /and/ carriers before making a choice. :-)

Nov 4th 2009 7:44AM Um...I don't personally consider T-Mobile US a "major" carrier, at least not when it comes to 3G coverage. And lately they can't even seem to keep their voice network going. :-/

AT&T or Verizon please....
HTC's HD2 gets official, we get our hands-on it (Updated: with video!) {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 6th 2009 1:52PM I still want a "Pro" version with a keyboard...but that might not be an absolute dealbreaker.
Regardless, top priority for me is that it gets released by a U.S. carrier in less than 6 months -- the Touch Pro 2 took WAY too long.

Jul 7th 2009 4:42PM Um...why is there no mention of call quality in this review of a PHONE?
Does engadget not have any friends they can call???
Apple blames hot iPhones on the weather, others find oleophobic screen to be fleeting? {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 5th 2009 12:20PM Nothing against you personally, but sorry, Apple deserves all the flak they get. They (and their fanboys) have marketed themselves as some infallible source of genius before which all should bow with reverence.
Yet, as they gain market share, they're having all the same problems the other big boys have had: bugs, security issues, quality control, etc. The real world sucks, don't it?
The bottom line is that Apples makes pretty good products, but so do other companies. Apple's stuff also has shortcomings and problems, just like everyone else.
