Please, please, could you report on how well this phone actually functions as a phone! Such as the signal reception strength (compared to say the other phones in the office) and call quality etc.

Many Thanks!

Could you check how Remote Desktop works using a capacitive screen. Curious to see how usable it is without a pointer to resort to. For some (like me) its a ‘must have’ app so an easy zoom to scale things up to finger friendly size would be handy.

Hi for the review could you please check out the following things please :)

How is the call quality for phone calls? Most of the previews on the net barely mention this!

Some pictures taken at night to see how the dual led does and post them up for us to see :)

Is the sound quality up to scratch when listening to music through headphones?

Thanks.

As I use mobile for a lot of email, I should like to see some comparison of HD2 with Touch Pro 2 in terms of screen, speed and ease of typing. Currently using TyTn II, question is which one to upgrade to, hmmm.

I am not sure if it is still the same for Manila 2.5, but for Manila 2.1 Sense with weather you can change the \windows\wallpaper_default.png manually to keep the weather with new wallpaper

I have heard that there are no hardware drivers for the graphics chip on this device !

That is very disapppointing news for a device that is seen by many as a mobile Plasma TV/media player. Many of us want to rip content for playing on this device.

I understand the lack of hardware driver was also the case on the HD. Can you check with HTC regarding why this is the case. I know they will say performance is good (they would wouldn’t they !)

Going to the expense of installing a graphics chip and not providing graphics drivers is a strange thing to do.

Can you ask HTC whats the point ??
Maybe I am missing something?

Hi, I would like to ask you – put in review some detail camera quality test. It means camera samples in full resolution+super fine quality setting – landscape, macro etc. And compare result quality for example with Diamond 2, which is said to be the best WM camera device. I think, this test will interest a lot of users. Thanks in advance!

Is it true that the very nice looking weather animation is only working (on the home screen) with the default background? On my HTC TOUCH PRO 2 (WWE)with WM 6.5 the animation is only working on the default background.

Will the weather itself update frequently (like on the HERO) on the homescreen under the clock? Again, on my TOUCH PRO 2, it usually takes three hours before the weather (under the clock) is updated. That’s not nice when you move around a lot. The weather and the place are then not right.
