HTC HD2 Windows Phone gets official: Hands-on Video

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 13 Comments

After weeks of rumor, HTC have confirmed the existence of their latest flagship Windows Phone, the HTC HD2 (aka the HTC Leo). As expected, the HD2 runs Windows Mobile 6.5 on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, with a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen and 5-megapixel autofocus camera; it’s also the first Windows Phone to support both multitouch and HTC Sense. Perhaps best of all, HTC CEO Peter Chou has confirmed that HTC will be offering a US 3G version of the HD2 in Q1 2010. SlashGear sat down with Chou earlier on today to get a preview of the HD2 and find out more about HTC’s focus moving forward.

HTC Touch2 Windows Phone review

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

Windows Mobile 6.5 is arriving with a fanfare, and a number of high-end Windows Phones to demonstrate Microsoft’s latest OS’ flexibility. Not every device is a do-everything uber-phone, however; part of Windows Mobile’s strength is that it also does duty on relatively entry-level handsets. The HTC Touch2 – replacement to the original HTC Touch – is one such device; what it lacks in bells & whistles, it attempts to make up for in simplicity. Can a Windows Phone really make a splash in the crowded feature-phone segment? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. Click to Read Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

AT&T HTC Pure Windows Phone review

By Ewdison Then and Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone, the HTC Pure, has some reasonable heritage; while the casing may look new, the guts of the handset are shared with HTC’s Touch Diamond2. Back when we reviewed the Diamond2 in May, we described it as the best Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone on the market, and suggested it was well placed for the promised update to 6.5. Has the Pure managed to deliver on that? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut. Click to Read Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

Verizon HTC Imagio Windows Phone review

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 No Comments

A thoughtful person might look at the Verizon Imagio and decide that it’s almost HTC delivering the Touch HD (Review part 1 & part 2) that their US audience never officially had. A comparatively large touchscreen, slender casing and 5-megapixel camera certainly tally with what the Touch HD offered; still, it’s been almost a year since we reviewed the GSM phone, so does the Imagio deliver the goods with Windows Mobile 6.5?

Sprint HTC Hero Review

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 3 Comments

We weren’t short of praise for the HTC Hero when we reviewed the European GSM model back in July, and since then there’s been no small amount of anticipation for the US version of the device. That arrives on Sprint come October 11th, and we’ve been playing with it to see whether its lost its charm in the journey across the Atlantic.

HTC HD2 (aka Leo) reveal tipped for Tuesday

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 No Comments

We probably shouldn't be too surprised, what with Windows Mobile 6.5 making its official debut tomorrow, but according to ai.rs' source HTC will be taking the wraps off of the HTC HD2 (aka HTC Leo) on Tuesday too. The 4.3-inch Qualcomm Snapdragon smartphone won't actually be anywhere near shelves tomorrow, mind; we'll apparently have to wait until the end of October or the start of November for that to happen.

HTC Touch HD2 full spec list revealed

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 4 Comments

HTC’s HD2 (aka the HTC Leo) keeps showing up in various carriers‘ promo material, though since they only ever say “biggest WinMo phone yet!” it’s been hard to pin down exact specifications. Happily, that’s all changed thanks to one talkative xda-developers board member; he’s managed to sneak out the full spec sheet – which you can read after the cut – together with a few new live photos of the smartphone itself.

Verizon HTC Imagio gets pre-launch video preview

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 No Comments

Your opinion on Windows Mobile 6.5 may vary, but we’re of the opinion that more smartphone choice is better than less choice and so are quite looking forward to playing with Verizon’s next Windows Phone, the HTC Imagio. WirelessZone have got there first, however, and have delivered an 8 minute preview video on the 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen device.
