htc hd2

During the Windows 7 Enterprise Launch earlier this week, I was able to take a sneak peek at the upcoming HTC HD 2 and though I was not allowed to take pictures or video, they allowed me to play around with it for a while. Despite that, HTC was still able to keep it slim at 11mm (as slim as the Nokia E71). The HTC Sense UI is also a beauty and runs on top of WinMo 6.5 so you don't actually see any semblance of the OS in the interface. The Touch HD2 is also Windows Mobile 7 compatible so when that OS comes out, you can have it readily upgraded. Reps from HTC Philippines tell me the Touch HD2 will be out in the public by December or early January next year with an estimated retail price of around Php49,000. This evening, HTC launched 3 new phones -- the HTC Viva, HTC Touch 3G and highly anticipated HTC Touch HD. Of the 3 phones, the HTC Touch HD took center stage with probably the largest display we've seen on a touch screen phone so far. HTC's has announced it's second Android-based phone -- the HTC Magic -- and this time, the phone sheds off the keyboard from the previous model (HTC Dream).
