Description[edit]
With a screen size of 81.2 mm (3.2') and weighing 3.88 ounces (110 grams) with battery, it is a compact version of its larger sibling, the HTC HD2, although being powered by a lower speed 600 MHz Qualcomm processor and a 512 MB ROM/384 MB RAM storage combination. Other features include multi-touch display, 5 megapixel color camera with auto focus; internal GPS antenna; 3G broadband connectivity, Wi-Fi and FM radio. As compared to the HD2's WVGA resolution, the HD Mini has HVGA, in tandem with the smaller screen.
The HTC HD mini includes capacitive touch for viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures.
Unlike the HD2, the HD Mini natively runs Windows Mobile 6.5.3, as compared to 6.5.1 native on the HD2 (although developers have cooked 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 ROMs for the HD2).

A couple of months back Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6.5. We had a chance to review it on a number of devices and came away impressed but disappointed. The main reason for the disappointment was that the UI itself was really only a couple of levels deep. We also noted that HTC’s own UI, TouchFLO 3D, was the true selling point, as the company had yet again raised the bar for UI on a Windows Mobile device.
Since HTC isn’t just known for doing UI enhancements I took particular interest in one of its latest devices: the HD2. I was lucky enough to be given one by HTC at a recent Mobius event and have been putting it through its paces for the last couple of weeks.
If you’re not familiar with the HD2, it sports a 4.3 inch 480×800 pixel capacitive touchscreen display. That’s bigger than the iPhone, and as you can see from the picture above, the device itself holds the screen well.
Under that screen there’s quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS, a 1GHZ Snapdragon processor, Windows Mobile 6.5, Bluetooth, WiFi, A-GPS, a G-sensor, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, digital compass, 512MB ROM and 448MB of RAM.
In addition to great specs for a mobile device, it features a 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash.
Hardware
The hardware of the HD2 makes it one of the more impressive phones I’ve had the pleasure of using. At first glance I was blown away by the screen but then when the phone fully loaded and greeted me with HTC’s home screen, I was in love with Windows Mobile all over again.

The HD2 is wider, longer and heavier than the iPhone 3GS, but I don’t mind any of that. What bothers me is that it’s not as comfortable to hold as the iPhone. The corners are rounded and smooth but the HD2 is a bit more blocky than the iPhone and after a while of sitting in your hand, it’s pretty noticeable.
On the back is the camera, which juts out a bit. This makes it a bit difficult to take in and out of my pocket, and also makes me aware of the phone’s presence while in my pocket–something that I don’t experience with the iPhone.
Camera
Beyond the screen, which is completely touch enabled, is the camera. I’ve used plenty of 5 megapixel cameras before that still looked like the picture was taken with a camera phone, but the HD2 ranks right up there with some of the standalone cameras, not to mention its dual LED flash.

You can tell from the pictures below what a difference the flash makes.

The camera software has a great auto focus that you can either tap to focus or let it perform the focus attempt on its own. In my tests I even went up close to my computer monitor and then uploaded the picture to Facebook, all from within the camera application.

Battery
Unfortunately, this is where the HD2 disappoints. If you’re just using it for browsing the web or occasionally using it as a phone, it’s a great device, but the 1230 mAh Lithium ion battery can’t even last a day in my usage tests. I should be fair and state that the iPhone 3GS can’t last a day either, but I’m used to Windows Mobile phones lasting more than a day on a single charge.

On-screen keyboard
HTC has made a number of enhancements on top of Windows Mobile 6.5’s keyboard. It’s a nice keyboard but the most impressive part about it is the haptic feedback when you type. It’s something I still miss daily on my iPhone and it was a welcome addition. I also like how you can tap and hold to get to additional letters and numbers on the keyboard.

Unfortunately, the accuracy on the keyboard could use some improving. I can’t type nearly as fast as I can on my iPhone and most times I’m just a letter off. So, with some software enhancement of the predictive nature of the keyboard, I bet the keyboard will be the one to beat, especially with its feedback.
Menu
HTC decided to leave the 6.5 honeycomb-style menu structure intact this time around, but with the enhancement of oversized icons. This is a must-have with a screen this big and definitely makes it a pleasure to use. I have to fault Windows Mobile for the lack of customization of this menu structure, though, since you literally have to scroll through to see all of your programs and you can’t reorder them, either.

Home screen
As you can see in the picture below, HTC has a great home screen experience, known as HTC Sense, which gives you a ton of information at a glance. You can also customize it to suit your needs and in my case I put a launch icon for FaceBook, Google Maps, and Geek.com. The weather also plays a prominent role in the home screen experience with funky animations that play out based on the weather outside and the time of day. In the picture below you can see some rain drops still left over, and there’s a windshield wiper that occasionally swipes the screen clean.

Browser
The HD2 comes with Opera as the default browser. As you can see from the shots below, it’s a great browsing experience and supports double-tapping to zoom in and out, panning, and more. I still prefer Safari but fora non-WebKit based browser, Opera is definitely the best.

Setup
When you first start it up it shows you how to insert a SIM on the screen, then it walks you through the keyboard and then instantly detects WiFi networks. Then there are wizards that walk you through setting up Outlook, Google Mail (this is an international version) and other mail accounts. You can even sign in to Facebook, YouTube or Twitter, directly from this startup screen. HTC really couldn’t have done a better job at guaranteeing a perfect out-of-box experience.

After I went through the initial settings I synced the HD2 to my Google account (calendar, contacts) using ActiveSync over-the-air. Then I fired up Peep and began tweeting.
For the rest of my tests I launched a YouTube video, browsed some web pages, and shot some pictures. I also plugged it into my Mac and transferred some photos and videos to the device’s MicroSD card. Everything looked crisp and perfect on the first try. The playlist automatically recognized the new music and a bunch of videos played without issue.
The HD2 also comes with a bunch of other programs pre-loaded including Office Mobile, and some trial software for CoPilot. With a screen this big there’s no end to what you can do on this device so as you can imagine editing Word and Excel documents was almost like editing them on a desktop.
Overall the HD2 experience is the best Windows Mobile experience I’ve ever encountered. It was pretty easy to add media to a storage card and play it, the interface is super fast thanks to the Snapdragon processor, and the UI is gorgeous to look at. I should also mention that the device itself looks great!
I did encounter some issues, though. First off, the HD2 crashed a few different times and when it crashed most features worked except for the Windows key, which is an integral part of getting at your programs on a Windows Mobile device. After a restart, though, all was well. Second, the HD2 will multitask but there’s no way of me getting around to my open programs. This is a feature I love in Windows Mobile and for some reason it’s gone in this interface. Matt Miller says that you can restore it by installing a CAB file, so you can bet I’ll be hunting that one down next.

The issues I encountered will no doubt get fixed in a firmware update, so I’m not too concerned about them.

In general, the HD2 is the new device to beat. If you love Windows Mobile this is a must-have. If you yearn for the iPhone experience in both screen size and richness of UI, this is the device to have.
The HD2 is not an iPhone killer, nor is it trying to be. It’s definitely the best Windows Mobile device and arguably one of the better touch screen-based devices on the market.

I’ve been a fan of Windows Mobile for years and only switched to iPhone after I saw a lack of innovation on the Windows Mobile platform. After having had my hands on the HD2, though, I’m debating about switching back again.
