With its industry leading, high-resolution, 4.3-inch capacitive touch display, the ultra thin HTC HD2 delivers more visible content in a sharper, brighter and richer way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt HTC we believe that the best things in life should be experienced, not explained. HTC Sense is based on this principle by making the phone more simple and natural to use and by enabling people to personalise their mobile experience in their own unique way,\u201d said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. With HTC Sense, the HTC HD2 melds the power and flexibility of the Windows platform with the most advanced phone we\u2019ve ever created.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHTC has a long history of innovation with Windows Mobile, shipping millions of devices over the years in a wide range of designs,\u201d said Andy Lees, senior vice president, Mobile Communication Business, Microsoft Corp. \u201cThe HTC HD2 Windows phone breaks new ground with its responsive, touch screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The HD2 uses the first capacitive touch display on a Windows phone to make viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a pinch of your fingers. The large display also enables faster, more efficient and accurate typing using the onscreen keyboard.

The HD2 can also be further enhanced to reflect your needs and style by downloading a wealth of applications at the new Windows<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Marketplace for Mobile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay Close<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The HD2 helps you stay close to the important friends and colleagues in your life with HTC\u2019s people-centric communication approach that provides a single contact view that displays individual communication snapshots of your conversations with the people in your life regardless of whether a call, text, Facebook\u2122 \u00a0status update or email were used. While in the midst of email exchange with someone you can easily make a transition to a call by pressing the call button.
