We like:

Slim design; large screen; HSDPA; Wi-Fi; GPS; 3.5mm headphone jack

We don't like:

Even with TouchFLO 3D Windows Mobile still isn't that finger-friendly

CNET UK judgement:

The HTC Touch HD is HTC's finest Windows Mobile phone yet. A slim casing houses a large, responsive VGA screen. But it's not just about looks because inside this attractive phone lies the heart of a beast. GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and a 3.5mm headphone jack make for a very smart phone -- it's just a shame it doesn't run Android

Full review:

The Touch HD is an exciting new phone from HTC which takes Windows Mobile to the next level. An attractive phone that features a massive VGA screen, the HTC Touch HD looks set to take the UK by storm. It will be available very soon for free on an Orange contract. Continue Reading...
