Image Gallery: Hands-on with the T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile Phone

Summary: The HD2 is highest speced Windows Mobile device ever and is very popular in Europe. HTC brought the device to the USA with T-Mobile with a subsidized price of only $200. A big improvement over other WM devices is the amazing content partnerships with Barnes & Noble, BlockBuster, and Slacker. You won't be looking all over for content on this 1 GHz Snapdragon device with its 16GB microSD card. You can even enjoy Guitar Hero on the device.

It is nice to see HTC and T-Mobile including a case to protect the HD2 a bit and also add a bit of gripping action to the device.

18 zillion pictures of packaging, just 2 of the phone turned on?

Epic fail. Waste of time. Come back when you have something newsworthy to share, please.

Only 2 pics, is that all of the apps that come with it?

Test it for the known video bug

The HTC HD2 has a well known bug in the camera called Pink Aura. It puts a pink color cast in the center of images. A HTC software patch applied a reverse mask which hides the fault in still images. However the patch does not work for video, so the Pink Aura fault still affects all video taken on the HD2.

To test it, aim it at a blank white piece of paper, or a blank white wall, and take some video. Play back the video, and see if there's a pink circle in the center of the image. There will be.

Thats a fancy box. So this is suppose to be a computer? I thought a phone was suppose to be for phone calls and keeping in contact. I have a Net10 Samsung 451c that has a nice camera and works very well. Perhaps its easier to use but im sure the HD2 can't compare with Net10 rates of $15 for a 150 minutes or $30 for 300 minutes.
