"if you're the type of person that likes to tweak the OS, install custom interfaces, and generally completely revamp and tinker with your phone"





That'd be me then, and why I absolutely love my Touch HD - even the POST boot splash screen is modified!





This review surprised me, I'd seen you guys slating it in comments sections of recent reviews and then the actual thing itself was, in my eyes, more positive than negative. If I didn't have my HD currently, I would have actually considered getting one of these based off your review...





ho hum, bit of a WiMo fan (as you probably already know) and yet to be won over by the iPhone's OS apart from occasional genius applications (the nearest Tube station augmented reality is a great idea!)

I always thought that interface was hideous but this phone had so much potential to be a great multimedia smartphone. I mean it comes packaged with core codec(CC) mobile media player which is pretty much the best on the planet for watching videos. It would have been excellent if it launched with windows mobile 6.5. I am dying to get a brand new smartphone but nothing in the market appeals to me.


- OmniaHD has very poor product support from samsung and its just as big as the TG01 if not thicker.


- Omnia 2(II) is brought down by windows mobile 6.1 and new product bugs/crashes.


- Iphone3GS is good but with complains about battery life and its basic 3meg camera not to talk of the outrageous price plans from O2 just make my apples sour. Plus the no.1 app that interests me is ver2 of CC's media player which isnt out yet.


- Sony ericcson likes to wait until the market passes them by. So many press releases on their satio and aino but release date?! no comment. They should release the goddamn Rachel(android phone) this year.(please!)


- Was going to hold out for a Hero(HTC) but that shape! who changed the water dispenser in the design dept to alcohol.


- Palm Pre is now $99 in the states but come christmas(Q4), i bet O2 will f*** the plans up with that one as well.


- All HTC products...tell microsoft to release 6.5. I am not interested in experimenting with Beta ROMs.


- Nokia...what the hell is wrong with you..you better get your s**t together.





Ahem! so this is my personal vendetta with the mobile market.

@@ChaosDefinesOrder - it's down to individual takes. It's a fabulous piece of hardware but there are numerous software issues. If you like to customise that until the cows come home then maybe you'll love the TG01 but for me no handset should be such a mess out of the box.

wow was i surprised when i seen the high score having briefly played with this device. glad to see you noted the awful UI can be changed for many better ones as its a WM device. I know lots of people would dismiss this as lets face it a phone shouldn't be this bad out of the box.


i played with it in the shop and found texting to be amazingly slow. i take it you had no such problems?


for me its just far to big to even consider. please HTC dont go bigger than the Touch HD

@chris10230: some of the Leo rumours are utter rubbish. Don't believe everything you hear...





I'm quite surprised at this review, since compared to the WM drivers for most other devices, the ones on this are crap. 3D acceleration on snapdragon should be god like, and yet performance isn't much better than on MSM720X based devices.

@Oliver: maybe Qualcomm did their annoying thing of licensing the chipset but witholding the hardware graphics drivers asking for a stupidly large amount for them. Maybe the anti-trust legal proceedings in the far east will slap them in the face about how bad that practise is. Their current practise is akid to selling an iPod Touch, and then charging twice the unit price to play videos on it.

@ Chris - Yeah as Oliver guessed I know of the Leo and the Thoth but im hoping, HOPING that the Touch HD's replacement isnt a 4 inch monster. I should have been more specific
