HTC Touch HD Mobile Operating System PDF Manual Guide

One of the most expected Windows Mobile-based smartphones of last year, the HTC Touch HD made its appearance on the market a little bit later than its main rivals Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and Samsung i900 Omnia. Although many comparisons have been made among the three devices, it is clear that HTC Touch HD is the most attractive and the flagship of Microsoft’s mobile operating system. Basically, it is only suitable to be compared with Apple’s iPhone or Google’s G1, which have different operating systems. The three devices look better than most smartphones on the market, which means that it’s a matter of taste which one you prefer.

It’s the OS that makes the difference and the three companies tried to make their devices as much as powerful and user-friendly as possible. PureMobile lent us one of these amazing devices, HTC Touch HD, so that our readers can benefit from an extensive review before actually buying it. My advice for all those that intend to buy one of the three smartphones is to try all of them, if they can and decide afterwards. As people have different needs and tastes, it is obvious that there cannot be one phone to rule them all. Announced in September 2008, HTC Touch HD was made available on the market one month later, in November 2008. The Pocket PC can be acquired for about US$800, but pricing can vary, and depends on location or plan. Only the Black color is available for this model at the moment.

Design
HTC Touch HD looks pretty amazing at first glance. Stylish and elegant, the smarpthone features the most exquisite finishes I have seen on an HTC-manufactured device. No more rough shaped edges, peeling, or scratches. It gets even better with the amazingly large screen, and yet remains so sleek. The entire front part of the smartphone is occupied by the 3.8-inch touchscreen. At the base of the screen, there are four touch keys with haptic feedback: Accept / Reject calls keys, Home key and Back key. On top of the screen, there are a secondary video-call camera and the in-call speaker. Finally, HTC decided to include a 3.5mm jack port, which you can find on top of the device. The power button is also on top, but I find it pretty hard to press.

On the left side of the Touch HD, one can hardly notice a long and thin dual volume key. The miniUSB port has been placed, as usual, on the bottom. HTC Touch HD features an Active magnetic stylus, which can be found on bottom right corner. Basically, that means that if you pull it out, the device will wake-up, or if you’re in the middle of a call, it will open up the Notes application. The back cover of the phone has been made from a rubberized plastic, which assures great adherence, besides feeling great to the touch. You can only find the wondrous 5-megapixel camera and a small loudspeaker on the back. The camera is well protected by a metallic frame that looks very sturdy. Unfortunately, the camera lacks any flash or mirror for self-portraits. The microSD slot card has been placed under the back hood, but it’s hot-swappable. The exact measures of the smartphone are 115×62.8mm at only12mm thickness.
