Introduction

From the day we first caught a glimpse of the Touch HD, we've been in love. The device features a screen that has a larger size and much higher resolution than the iPhone, and its gorgeous, minimalist design, has caught the attention of many. Every time I show this to someone for the first time, the response is always the same: "Wow!" In this review, we'll take a deep and thorough look at the sexy Touch HD, and will help you decide if it should be your next mobile phone. Read on for more!

Picture Highlights

The Touch HD, which features a massive 3.8" wide WVGA screen, is gorgeous, and perfect for viewing multimedia like photos and video. In hand, the Touch HD feels quite large because of its height and width which is needed to accommodate the huge screen.
We've all seen TouchFLO 3D by now, but the version included on the Touch HD has been modified. Just like the hardware buttons, you get a slight bit of vibration feedback when you tap any of the TouchFLO 3D icons along the bottom. The Touch HD will do this in other programs like YouTube and Opera. Here on the Home tab, because of the taller screen, we can see several appointments without having to swipe your finger up to see more. In previous versions of TouchFLO 3D, you could get a 4-day forecast, but you'd have to open another tab. Because of the longer screen, you can see the forecast without the second tab on the Touch HD.


Conclusion/ Overall Impression

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.
