HTC HD2 - It's here!!!

Follow up to my other HD2 thread

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/539439-new-phone-htc-hd2.html#post5320203

Mys first impression is, man this thing is BIG! It is almost all screen and it is much bigger than my Treo Pro. It seemed more like one of my old PDAs, like my Palm Lifedrive or Palm TX. I dug out my Lifedrive (look at the dust!) for some comparisons.

Some gratuitous pictures:

Here is the HD2 vs. the iPhone



But it is thin, thinner than the iPhone



They are using the Opera browser as standard. The swipe and pinch stuff is just like the iPhone. I'm still getting used to things, but it seems pretty sweet and fast so far.

Setup of my e-mail address was pretty straight forward, but then I've used WM6 before. And the touch typing, while I don't like it as much as a physical keyboard, works just fine.

More as I work with it.
