Many asked me what is the differences. I can only tell them to look beyond the tabs (that is common to TouchFLO 3D). The HTC Sense has integrated many things into the phone. A contact is no longer just a contact. It can integrate your SMSes, Emails, Facebook altogether.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7550\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/26\/htc-hd2-review-htc-sense-tweaks-hotfixes-video-within\/contact\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?fit=480%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"contact\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?fit=180%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?fit=480%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7550 aligncenter\" title=\"contact\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?resize=480%2C800\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/contact.jpg?resize=180%2C300&amp;ssl=1 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It has also add Twitter, Footprint into the Tabs.

The Pink Cast seems to be around and sometimes not around in the pictures. The Storage Capacity for photos has improved after the fix. However, what it does was to reduce the size of the file. It may be using compression to do it. In my tweak section, you will understand why I say I have my doubts.<\/p>\n<p>As for SMS delay issue, I tried to send out on Christmas eve and it was stuck in the outbox till Christmas day. No matter how I use the resend function, it will not work. Finally, I sent another SMS to the same phone number and both were sent out immediately.<\/p>\n<p>HTC Calendar is regarded as a support issue and not a hotfix. However, to have a Calendar function that cannot display in the Year mode (when even the native Windows Mobile 6.5 can do it) is a problem to me. At least HTC had addressed it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What other things need to be fix (in my own opinion)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I had this phone for just a week and with my knowledge of HTC phones (Windows Mobile), I can quickly identify that the volume control is not stable and sometimes unreliable.<\/li>\n<li>The HTC Sense is not stable. It has crashed many times (manila.exe) and luckily, it is able to reboot itself. Microsoft has caught it as a &#8220;problem&#8221; and requested the report to be sent backed.<\/li>\n<li>The phone hangs. It is true. And here is a video of the phone hanging up on me (many times). I think that it is the HTC Sense issue as the Windows Mobile 6.5 is still working. This is a big problem for me. At times, when I am using navigation map, it would just freeze up and stop responding. But before I jumped to conclusion, I have to admit that I tweaked the phone (in terms of registry) to get extra functions. More onto that in the Tweaks Section).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/geJMq6n3H7A?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<h1><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Camera<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>This is one of the best (if not the best) camera that HTC has provided.

However, it contradicts the hotfixes as it is supposed to reduce the size of the picture file. Nevertheless, anything with picture enhancement, I am willing to try.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Summary<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Overall, the HTC HD2 is like a dream phone. One of the reason is the capacitive touchscreen. It has made the phone more responsive and many application like browsing the net or reading from Excel, Email, PDF can be easily done using the Pinch to Zoom function.<\/p>\n<p>With the 1 GHZ Snapdragon Processor, it can really open application fast (Provided that it does not hang). However, I must say that the RAM\/ROM can be improved.<\/p>\n<p>The camera is one of the biggest improvement from HTC. With Dual LED, it is definitely useful. And the speed is fast and responsive.<\/p>\n<p>I have yet to complete my review on this phone. There may be more things that I did not explore. The phone is definitely a good buy if it is coupled with a plan.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to Windows Mobile 7 as I heard that this phone is WM7 ready \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this phone?
