iPhone 4 vs. the smartphone elite: EVO 4G, N8, Pre Plus, and HD2
Posted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsWe know how the iPhone 4 sizes up against the aging 3GS -- but how does it fare against its fiercest competitors from all the major platforms? We wish we had some production Windows Phone 7 kit to check out here, but in the meantime, take a look at the results against the gruesome foursome of the EVO 4G, N8, Pre Plus, and HD2. You might be surprised by some of the results -- and sorry, RIM, you don't get to play until you bring some fresh, media-heavy hardware to the table. Nothing personal!Continue reading iPhone 4 vs. the smartphone elite: EVO 4G, N8, Pre Plus, and HD2

T-Mobile’s update for HTC HD2 now extra official, wipes some game purchases
Posted on May 18, 2010 | No CommentsOn the list of ways to not foster customer satisfaction, deleting purchased apps with no recourse for getting them back has to be very, very high on the list, doesn't it? T-Mobile's now trumpeting that sort-of-leaked official update for the HD2 that features "stability and performance improvements" on top of a new ROM-integrated T-Mobile MyAccount app, but if you purchased the full versions of the demo games that came bundled with your phone, beware: installing the upgrade will wipe you out, and the only advice T-Mobile has for you is to "re-purchase them at the standard cost." Gee, thanks, guys!

T-Mobile’s HTC HD2 gets updated
Posted on May 14, 2010 | No CommentsT-Mobile has posted a firmware update for its HD2 thatmiraculously, and against all odds, updates it to Windows Phone 7supposedly fixes a few bugs. You'll need your IMEI to kick off the process, so... you know, don't get any ideas if you're just a miscreant looking for an easy way to score a ROM for a phone you don't have.

Current T-Mobile customers having hard time upgrading to HTC HD2 (updated with statement)
Posted on May 7, 2010 | No Comments
First, the good news: T-Mobile's HD2 is in stock online and apparently at many corporate-owned retail locations. Now, the bad: the carrier seems to be putting these things on lockdown right now, only offering them to new customers signing up for a fresh contract. This is a tactic T-Mobile has applied in the past, so we're not terribly surprised to see them do it here, too -- but it's still a disappointment, especially considering that the phone has been out for a few weeks now. Just goes to show you that a net add is worth considerably more than a loyal customer is (particularly one who's still under contract), but in the meantime, might we recommend the iHTC HD2?
Update: We've received an official statement from T-Mobile on the matter, and it sounds like they're "giving priority to existing customers" with new inventory coming in. Sweet! Here's the full verbiage:"T-Mobile understands the inventory challenges for the HTC HD2 and continues to work diligently in order to supply our customers with this highly popular product. As we receive additional inventory of the HTC HD2, we are giving priority to our existing customers. However, the demand for the device is still exceeding our supply.
Depending on the location, some T-Mobile retail stores may still have some HTC HD2 inventory available. We suggest that interested customers contact their local T-Mobile store via phone before visiting to see if they have the HTC HD2 available. If they do not have the HTC HD2 available, some stores are taking names and contact information, and will be able to notify customers once that location has product available."Current T-Mobile customers having hard time upgrading to HTC HD2 (updated with statement) originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 07 May 2010 14:28:00 EST.

Keepin’ it real fake: HTC HD, too
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No CommentsIf you're going to rip off one of the more memorable Windows Mobile devices ever made, you'd think you'd want to at least clone its most notable feature -- but seriously, what do we know about the KIRF business? Yeah, well, this little number manufactured by a firm doing business as "iHTC" (no relation to HTC, we're sure) looks an awful lot like the HD2, but lacks that all-important 4.3-inch display, instead trading down for a more pedestrian 3.6-inch unit. On the upside, it's still WVGA and packs the latest and greatest Windows Mobile 6.5.3 (if "latest and greatest" really applies there) plus a 5 megapixel autofocus cam -- not bad specs for a device that eats copyrights for breakfast. Seems you can hunt one of these puppies down for about 1,580 yuan ($231), so start saving and packing for your Chinese adventure -- and in the meantime, follow the break for a comprehensive video demo of the finest technology iHTC has to offer.Continue reading Keepin' it real fake: HTC HD, too

Quick Look: The HTC HD2 on T-Mobile
Posted on March 25, 2010 | No Comments
Here's a quick look at the first US version of the HTC HD2, a really nice Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. We've have plenty of coverage of this phone over the past few months but now it's available on T-Mobile for $200 with contract. It's a really beautiful phone - and I don't say that much - but will it take off with WinPho waiting in the wings?

Video: The HTC HD2 might not run Windows Phone 7, but it can run Windows 95!
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No Comments
We know what you're thinking. "Man! Now that Microsoft has confirmed (and re-confirmed) that the HD2 won't be getting an (officially endorsed) upgrade to Windows Phone 7, I can only hope that it will some day be able to run a desktop OS from fifteen years ago!"
Well, friend, that day has come.

Official HTC step-by-step video for disassembling the HTC HD2

But this appears to be an official HTC guide for disassembling and reassembling the hot HTC HD2. Chances are HTC didn’t release it, though. Many thanks goes out to the enterprising [...] -
Adobe Flash 10.1 holds out for Windows Phone 7, 6.5 devices can haz upgrade to WP7?
Posted on February 25, 2010 | No CommentsJust the other day, hearts were broken all over the world when Microsoft said that current Windows Mobile 6.5 devices won't be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 7. The good news is that might not entirely be true as Microsoft said on Twitter that it's entirely up to hardware manufacturers. Way to confuse us! Another area where WinMo 6.5 gets no love? Adobe Flash 10.1.

T-Mobile gives an HTC HD2 reminder, now with more fun!
Posted on February 16, 2010 | No CommentsLast week, T-Mobile teased us all with a little jab on Twitter about the HTC HD2 that it will be shipping soon. It was exciting and, to be frank, it made me a little antsy. As promised, T-Mobile announced new features for the HD2 at Mobile World Congress today and I've gotta say, it isn't all that thrilling.

T-Mobile toys with our emotions, says HTC HD2 announcement coming next week
Posted on February 12, 2010 | No CommentsSuspense and anticipation are sometimes far more satisfying than the actual reward, but I’m hoping that’s not the case for T-Mobile. From its official Twitter account, T-Mobile USA taunts us and pokes at what little we apparently know about the HTC HD2. Then it makes us wait a whole week before we find out what [...] -
HTC HD2 plays Tekken 3 using FPSECE emulator
Posted on December 30, 2009 | No CommentsNot much to say here other than there's a PlayStation emulator for the HD2 and it bloody well works! The original gangster of consoles, already emulated on other WinMo devices such as Toshiba's TG01, has made its way to HTC's finest thanks to version 0.10 of the First PlayStation Emulator for Windows CE. You can hit the read link to find out how to get it up and running on your own handset, and then we'll naturally expect you to come back and tell us how good it felt to play Final Fantasy VII in a whole new way. The more impatient among you will already be watching video of the HD2 running Tekken 3 effortlessly after the break, so go join 'em already.Continue reading HTC HD2 plays Tekken 3 using FPSECE emulator

HTC Russia says HD2 will get Windows Mobile 7 upgrade, but other ‘communicators’ won’t
Posted on December 30, 2009 | No CommentsAnd what do we have here? HTC's Russian contingent has been rather forthcoming with its Windows Mobile 7 plans this morning, which will please HD2 owners but disappoint many others. The good news is that HTC's flagship WinMo handset is assured of getting Microsoft's finest when it comes out, but the bad news is that the rest of the line will remain stuck at version 6.5 or below. Here's the tweet in the Queen's own tongue:
Keep in mind it's still possible, though not altogether probable, that this statement refers only to the Russian market. In either case, if you were holding out hope for your Touch Pro 2 or Snap to keep updating all the way to 7, it seems the odds are now officially stacked against you.For Diamond 2 firmware is not planned. Of the existing communicators on the market, only the HD2 firmware to get WM7.HTC Russia says HD2 will get Windows Mobile 7 upgrade, but other 'communicators' won't originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:52:00 EST.

Leaked Sense ROM with landscape mode looks wider than it is tall
Posted on December 28, 2009 | No CommentsLandscape orientation: a bastion of width-lovers everywhere. Indeed, hearts have to be melting on news that the leaked T-Mobile USA-branded HD2 ROM -- which has somehow made it onto some Touch Pro2s thanks to xda-developers' usual black magic -- seems to have revealed a new landscape mode for Sense, the beautified WinMo skin formerly known as TouchFLO. Though this makes a ton of sense for devices like the Touch Pro2 that actually need to be used sideways when the keyboard's deployed, we think it'll find plenty of use on slates like the HD2, too. Won't it?Leaked Sense ROM with landscape mode looks wider than it is tall originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:11:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
