#htc_touch_hd I have been using this phone for 3 months, and just want to say it's a great smartphone. Some reviewers think windows 6.1 is a con, but I think that kind of review is a little biased. This should be review of phone, not operating system. Win6.1 is quite fast on this phone, and I had to reset it just once for three months. Os is slower than iPhone's, but bigger display (and bigger screen resolution) and battery life when on 3G are far superior than competition. Battery replacement is breeze, and 3rd party apps, some specifically designed for HTC are freely available on net. I installed maybe a dozen of freeware apps, that are so good looking, they look like original HTC software. Customization of OS is possible, and install (and uninstall) of apps from pc or over net is easy. TouchFlo3D is fast and responsive. FM Radio with RDS has a great interface. Internal mp3 player could be better, but that can be easily changed by installing another player.
Cons:
Lack of flash makes low-light photo results ugly. Lock/unlock button could be more easily reachable.
Price is high, but mind you, if you cannot afford it, it doesn't mean it's bad, just that it's expensive.
