The HTC HD2 is the first handset to be released after the Taiwanese company’s high profile rebranding exercise, and we can think of no better posterchild to show off the new ‘quietly brilliant’ tagline than this Windows Mobile 6.5 powerhouse.
The 1GHz Snapdragon processor is the iron fist to the intuitive velvet glove of HTC Sense user interface, with the HD2’s 4.3″ capacitive touch display enabling quick access between e-mails, messaging and all that personal data at the flick of a finger.
HTC HD2 deals see the handset firmly pitched as a smartphone solution, with O2 offering 600 minutes and unlimited texts on a 24 month contract for only £30 per month. The phone itself costs £39.99 on top of that, a small price to pay for some bleeding-edge tech on a decent tariff.
18 month offers are ideal for those with commitment issues, but the price is substantially higher. The same 600 mins x unlimited texts deal costs £35 per month, and the handset cost for the HD2 also increases to £79.99.
Both are great options, and the HTC HD2 offers arguably the best Windows experience on a mobile today. Enjoy the cinematic experience, and embrace something quietly brilliant!
