    The Touch HD is a powerhouse of a phone, but its features and performance will only be appreciated by tech-heads. But as much as we hate Windows Mobile, the Touch HD is the best smartphone of its kind by a mile. You also get the added benefit of running the full version of Office Mobile, which allows you to create, edit and read Office 2007 documents. Also at your disposal is Exchange and POP3 e-mail support, along with Windows Mobile media player which supports various... Read more

    It’s not the smallest phone to discreetly slide into your pocket, but the screen is perfect for those of you who love to watch movies and surf the web.  And in my opinion, it’s a good looking phone!  I’m all for the sleek, black look and large screens! Read more

    Whilst the HTC Touch HD may not be a household name like the iPhone, but in my opinion is defiantly a serious competitor. The best feature is it's 3.8 inch, WVGA screen- thats much bigger than the iPhone. This means you can watch videos and films the way they were intended. The camera 5MP camera is excellent and produces stunningly rich, vivid and warm shots. The video quality is also pretty good and you can upload them directly to YouTube. The huge screen isn't only...

    Ive had this phone for about 7 months now. I waited for my upgraded until the phone was released as I was looking to stay on orange but have a decent phone that was touch screen and could connect to wifi (basically the equivalent of the iphone) The phone looks great and is roughly the same size as the iphone. Everyone always asks me if it's a blackberry; don't know if that's a good thing or not though. It comes with all the normal bits and bobs you would expect with a... Read more

    Makes the iPhone look like something (only stupid) dinosaurs would buy + use ie even more embarrassing with Apples excessive greed based overpricing and now completely outdated yesterdays technology (that never worked in the first place anyway:D ). The HTC Touch HD by complete contrast, on the other hand, is the slickest,smoothest most advanced tech mobile available at the moment :) Read more
