Yeah, ^^ upvote this guy. He didn't do anything wrong.

But It's About. Fucking. Time. Thank you. I'm guessing the revamp on the site was to prevent any site 'splosions from happening. ]]>Nov 25th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
Do you really think they would make such an awesome phone for a "dead" platform?

Stop wearing tight girl pants, and it won't be such a problem. This phone is approximately the same dimensions as an iPhone.]]>Nov 25th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/

Yes, and the iPhone is also too large. It's too wide to be slid in and out of a pocket comfortably enough and to be used with one hand. This is where narrower phones have an advantage.]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
HTC makes some fine hardware. They just have to dump Windows Mobile and put Android on 90% of their high-end devices. You'd figure how could a company like HTC be losing money and marketshare. Thanks goes to WinMo for hurting HTC's bottom line. Once they dump that Microsoft garbage, HTC should do just fine. That is one sweet device and I hope it sells well for them. I don't know why people keep making excuses for WinMo when it's clear to see it's not quite up to par with the latest OSes available.]]>Nov 26th 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
HTC’s 2008 performance was based on the sale of 12.03 million devices. Given that only around 1 million Android devices were sold in 2008, this would imply HTC sold more than 10,000,000 Windows Mobile devices last year.

Since they are a publicly traded company this information can be easily obtained directly from their website, under "Investor Relations".

They also reported a 2% GAIN in market share from Q32008 to Q32009. Maybe you have a difficult time interpreting company financials, but you really should try reading up on the facts before you post inaccurate information.

I'm no Android fanboi, but until WinMo 7 is here and we can see what's it all about, phones like this are very much stillborn running anything but WebOS, Android or iPhone OS. In HTC's case, that means Android all the way for now.]]>Nov 25th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
Neither Rim, nor Apple nor Google nor Palm are going to stop development nor innovation to wait for WinMo to catch up 3 years worth of progress. What will happen is WinMo will keep shrinking further into irrelevance, end up a niche product at the hands of just the most ardent Engadget MS fanboy users and ultimately it will die.]]>Nov 25th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
I would like WinMo to make a comeback. I don't hate the product, I used it for many years. It just became too painful, and this review shows why.]]>Nov 25th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
Yes, they should review it based on a rumored WinMo 7 upgrade...

A phone can't be great based off hardware alone.]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
The reviewer seemed to make a pretty valid argument to me; no idea what you're talking about. Nobody can deny that the iPhone is a great phone, not perfect of course, but it really changed the industry.

Sure, you can say that the phone will be upgradable to WinMo7 when available which might just make the phone worth getting then, but nobody will know until it's available. And, sadly, until then it seems that WinMo 6.5 is going to weigh the phone down with its shortcomings that the reviewer addressed quite clearly.

He didn't like the phone. Maybe you'll like it, but he's just giving his opinion. I don't see what you're complaining about, I assume you haven't even had a chance to use the phone, but you're already saying that the review is biased.]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/
Despite this phone getting awful reviews on Gizmodo, I still feel inclined to conclude that your Engadget comment system is the #1 crapgadget of all time.

Please fix the uneditable comment issue, and the terrible teal color of the "reply" button!]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/You're implying iPhone/Apple bias but the reality is WM devices have been losing significant market share for the last couple of years. Real consumers spending real money are rejecting WM devices. I don't think Engadget can just ignore that fact when they review a WM powered device. The review pretty clearly states this is one of, if not the best, WM device out there BUT if you're a consumer who has decided you don't like WM that doesn't really matter does it? ]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 25th 2009 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/

On topic though, I'd have liked to see you guys mention how Microsoft worked closely with HTC to make the HD2 a reality. It's not like HTC took the bone stock WinMo6.5 build and then set forth to hide it deep under a mishmash of graphic awesomeness. Things like the capacitive screen works because Microsoft engineers lent a hand (HTC's words, not mine).

So it's not exactly like a Mulliner coachwork on say, a Rolls Royce. The parent company understood the deficiencies in their product and worked with the coachbuilder to come up with an impressive end product.

...and boy, does it impress!]]>Nov 26th 2009 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/Nov 26th 2009 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/htc-hd2-review/

You guys did a great job with this review. It is obvious that the person who is biased here is the one that thinks that anybody who says something negative about winmo is biased. You should not feel the need to respond to every commenter that is so in love with a company (be it Apple, MS, Google, etc.) that they refuse accept any criticism. I'm not saying that JustinB is one of those people, I'm saying there are some like that.

@JustinB In response to your second comment much respect for being able to take it just as well as you dish out. Not everyone can.
