Touchscreen phones have received a big boost in the minds of the public, in recent times. Among the numerous models that have become available on the market, Windows Mobile has been seen on many handsets, and the HTC Touch HD is now taking that operating system to a new level of user-friendliness.
One thing that's made HTC famous is the custom interface they add to Windows Mobile phones, called
TouchFLO, and the HTC Touch HD also features this sleek interface. The inclusion of this interface, on top of Windows Mobile, means that the phone is incredibly easy to navigate round. In order to get to different applications, within the HTC Touch HD all you need to do is swipe a finger along the icon bar at the bottom of the homescreen, and this lets you easily switch from the main homescreen, to the calendar, to text messaging window, and so on. You can also customise this bar, swapping out different shortcuts to ensure that you only have the apps you use the most on the front screen of the HTC Touch HD, meaning the phone is less cluttered, and even easier to use.
The feature that makes the HTC Touch HD so user-friendly, aside from the intuitive interface, is its 3.8 inch screen, with a screen resolution of 800x480 pixels. A screen of that size makes Windows Mobile a lot easier to use. This also applies if you need to use the standard Windows menus, as the size of the HTC Touch HD's screen ensures that menus and scrollbars are large enough to be easily used with one finger.
Windows Mobile is the OS featured in this device, and combined with the TouchFLO interface, the HTC Touch HD can switch easily between a handset for your business needs, with the inclusion of Office Mobile, and a portable multimedia device. Movies in particular are displayed beautifully, with the clarity of the 3.8 inch screen leading to the HTC Touch HD being a superb mobile media player.
The HTC Touch HD provides an exceptional internet experience, again aided by the size of the screen, and HSDPA, as well as WiFi, connectivity, ensures that you get fast online speeds. The hardware features are completed by a 5 megapixel camera, and GPS.
If you're a power user, and you want one of the largest screens ever built into a mobile phone, then the HTC Touch HD is one of the best phones on the market.
