We may not get an “official release” version of the HTC Touch HD here in the US, but I am sure something similar will hit our dirt eventually. Just because it’s not really designed for an sold in the US doesn’t mean you can’t get one imported and use it here. A couple sites have taken the HD on test drives here in the US too.

Phone Arena Concludes….

We were excited when we started testing the phone, hoping that we’ll see something great and revolutionary. Sadly, the reality is different. Hardware wise, the Touch HD is impressive, with a large display and a quality make. As a phone, it offers many functions and a very good sound during a call, but the software is not innovative at all. TouchFLO 3D, which we’ve seen in Diamond and Pro is the best for a WM smartphone, but not for a multimedia device what we wanted to discover in the HD. The music player is good, we can live with the mediocre camera, but why the bad video capabilities and not the multiple codec/format support like seen in the rivals? This would have made it possible for the users to really enjoy HD clips. So far, the Touch HD is a good smartphone but doesn’t have what it takes to be a good multimedia phone. As we’ve said before, we hope this will be fixed by future software updates, making the HD the leader running on that OS. By the way, we would love to see the Android OS on that beautiful screen, but that’s not expected officially.

Pocket Now’s Thoughts…

As I mentioned, for the business user, the Touch HD is just not practical. Instead, business users should consider the HTC Touch Pro or SE XPERIA X1. If you’re looking for the most flashy/sexy/gorgeous (and capable) multimedia and internet browsing phone that has ever been sold, the Touch HD deserves your serious consideration
