One of the key elements within the compendium of features is a 5 mega pixel camera. The camera operates at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels and comes with auto focus, geo tagging as well as the always useful LED flash for illumination. VGA quality video can be recorded and played back on this handset at 30 frames per second. The video camera provides a viable alternative to the static nature of photos.


A 4.3 inch TFT capacitive touch screen is the main focal point of the handset which takes up the majority of the front of the HTC Touch HD2 . The screen displays 65,000 colours at a pixel size of 480 x 800 pixels. Imagery is displayed in excellent colour and clarity. As its main way of accessing the wealth of functionality within the handset, the phone utilises the multi touch input method. As would be expected of a phone of this calibre, an accelerometer sensor is included as well as a proximity and ambient light sensor.


Internet access is provided by the HSDPA and Wi-Fi connections which are able to provide speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. This makes web browsing enjoyable and not laborious. The inclusion of the GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, Blue tooth and miniUSB connections offers suitable options for connecting to a multitude of devices. Satellite navigation is provided by the GPS function.


The phone comes with a raft of extras such as an MP3/MP4 player, digital compass and a voice memo function. For those who enjoy social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, there are a variety of features which integrate these sites into the phones usability.


The Touch HD2 is one of the most powerful handsets available, mainly due to the fact that it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor at its heart of operations. This coupled with the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional operating system means that the handset is effective and useful as well as quick and responsive.
