Performance
Battery
The phone’s 1230 mAh battery holds up surprisingly well even with the strain of powering the massive 4.3-inch screen and the 1GHz processor. It handles Wi-Fi well, it handles video and audio playback well, it handles flash photography well, and it handles calling and multi-tasking well.
It lasted almost two days on a single charge, with moderate use. With near constant use of Wi-Fi and more than two hours of calling, we managed to whittle the battery life down to a still respectable 15 hours. As for video playback, the phone stayed on for nearly 4 hours with the video looping continuously.
Call
Call clarity is overall good, though some unexpected squeaks were experienced. Earpiece volume was good, as was loudspeaker and handsfree volume. Call dropping was not experienced, and both parties experienced clear voice reception in both handsfree and loudspeaker modes.
Audio
Audio playback is also good, with the supplied earphones providing some tolerable bass, and none-too sharp treble. The loudspeaker also handles music playback well, with barely any distortion.
Video
While playback and touch support is good, the lack of format support apart from MP4 and 3GP is bit galling on the native Windows Media Player. However, you can download third-party apps such Core for playing other formats including Xvid and DivX. The screen, though it can support 16M colours, is only able to display 65K colours because of the operating system. The phone’s ability to playback 720p HD video from the native player is not especially good, and though it improves with the Core player, is still well behind modern competition.
Camera
The 5MP camera doesn’t make for very sharp pictures, but most well-lit shots have surprisingly little noise in them. Colour accuracy is a bit off as well, with the HTC Desire providing much better images all around. The dual LED flash is powerful enough. The phone doesn’t handle low light very well, and is quite below average compared to some recent 5MP offerings from HTC. There are sufficient options like white balance, brightness, and ISO to play around with. Touch focus also works like a charm, when you don’t trust the normal autofocus. As for video recording, the phone only offers VGA resolution at 30 fps, and not much quality recording can be expected from it. Also to be noted, there is no secondary (front-facing) camera on board. Check out some sample images below (the night shot was taken on ISO 800 with flash on).
Verdict
The HTC Touch HD2 has a lot of features and HTC Sense, all packed into its large well-built frame, as well as a super-snappy interface. Its 4.3-inch screen is definitely the best thing about the phone, but unfortunately, it’s no longer the best screen around. 65K colour limitation and poor sunlight legibility are also serious limitations, as is the mediocre video playback experience. We’d recommend you wait till Windows Phone 7 comes along, and the HTC HD7 might just be what you’re looking for. You could also check out other large screened phones such as the Galaxy S, Desire (HD), and the Milestone XT720. However, if apart from a large screen, you are also looking for a phone that will be able to handle whatever OS you throw at it, then this might just be your thing.It's price however, should make you think twice.
