Touch vs. HD. iPhone 3G

Check the comparision images above

Already at the first view of the Touch HD is direct incomparison with the iPhone. It's the big touch screen, minimum hardware keys, above average width and sympathic thickness of 12 mm. That HTC could not be accused of copying the look, designers chose the iPhone slightly sharper lines and metal circuit replace the dark shiny plastic. The phone is due to rounded edges very nicely holds in his hand, is not disruptive and his weight 146 g.


Who is prettier? And who thinner? Better capable and useful?

Back covers of most of the slip change soft-touch, which both prevent the movement of the phone from his hand and especially to each other leaving visible prints. In the top of the metal to offset anti-scratch given lens 5Mpx sensors with autofocusem, which unfortunately does not accompany the LED flash.

Resistance to dirt on the other hand, does not apply to the front part of the phone, which consists almost exclusively surface display. Protective glass covers the surface from the edge to edge, so there is need cleaning. HTC promises that, thanks to alleged glass should not occur in normal use to scratch the surface.

Elegant design lines had to retreat several controls. Instead, this left the function or directional buttons. Below the display can be found only four of sensor keys, two of which are designed to receive or reject / end call button with domečkem to return to the home screen and arrow to act back.

Quick, capacity and convienent

Many elements, or find the perimeter of the phone. In the lower right corner is a hidden stylus, which is next to the new HTC fingers also operate. The underside of the occupying Ext (mini) USB connector with trojpravoúhlým section. He serves on the mounting data cable supplied in the sales package, and chargers. Headphones this due to the presence of a standard 3.5 mm audio connector receiving position at the top edge. Here also lies the traditional key to enable / revival of the device.

Wide badge - fashion communicators recent

The last button on the whole surface of the phone is located on the left side and clamshell form is used to regulate the volume. So instead of pressing to trigger the camera button voice notes, communications manager or the Jog Dial.

The main pride communicator is a complete data equipment and connectivity, which is currently can be found. Of course it is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G data module, including HSDPA, and GPS. The only thing we seek in vain, the survival of Infrared.

HTC Touch HD is one of the few Windows Mobile communicators and as the first representative of brand 3.5 mm audio jack • turn-on button • • stylus sensor keys below the display

HTC Touch HD used to work fast processor stepping on the 528 MHz and a sufficient amount of 288 MB of RAM. Thanks to these parameters is to work with the environment of knowledge no less than for other Windows Mobile communicators. Was implemented again version 6.1 Professional operating system from Microsoft.

Masterful display

Why you HTC Touch HD deserves to be compared with the iPhone is the user interface TouchFlo 3D. This is still refined and successfully throughout the structure to the otherwise little rigid system. In some applications (music player, camera), so you never get to the classic Windows mobile environment.

Thanks to huge color active display with a diagonal measurement of 3.8 "and an excellent resolution of 480 x 800 pixels is a touch easier control of a finger. Even in the nested parts of the system and context menus does not have to be drag the stylus - the font and icons are large enough and can accurately hit . Greater in. I may have a problem when writing on the virtual keyboard.

5 megapixel camera unfortunately lacks the flash

The display not only responds to the movement of a finger (stylus), but also to the sensitivity of pressing. This feature is necessary, for example, in camera, which take account of the failure to print the hardware button must touch the trigger. On the weaker side finger object adjust the focus on strongly on the camera capturing the image. However, the iPhone screen is still not ready to multishot control, and so can not use certain intuitive gestures, for example, when zooming photos.

Death iPhone and who else?

The back cover is plastic and its lowering is just perfect. There is a need to develop a relatively great power in his bottom and then push upwards. In the belly of the hidden battery with a capacity of 1 350 mAh, which according to initial findings endurance record does not in any way, especially in the intensive use of the device. Under the cover is added to the SIM card and memory card microSD (HC). That can extend 512 megabytes of internal memory to Max. The slots for the cards lurks a breath speaker and tiny red button reset.

While the new HTC Touch HD from well-known reasons, often compared with the iPhone, direct competition is mainly for the communicator of the Samsung i900 Omnia, to a lesser extent, may jeopardize the Diamond in their own ranks. Over the two devices clearly stands out in particular to its large and fine display, and in this context, the more comfortable control without having to use a stylus.

The best mobile device currently benefiting mainly from facilities in addition to its agility in placing on the market. Following the presentation in mid-September should have less than two months later get into the stores at a price of around 800 dollers. It can not wait.
