Hi solly,In the end it is a matter of personal preference.The HTC HD2 has got some great software improvements with the latest ROM. In terms of hardware the HTC HD2 has almost the same specifications as the standardized hardware foundation for Windows Phone 7, so I personally would consider a Windows Phone 7 device as well.Please have a look at the following reviews: Windows Phone 7 review - Step by step overview of the mobile OS core features !Samsung Omnia 7 review – Windows Phone 7 LG Optimus 7 review (LG E-900) – First Windows Phone 7 device from LG ElectronicsIf you just want to focus on a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, than the HTC HD2 is the most powerful device available. Each operating system for smartphones has a unique set of advantages so in the end it is a matter of personal choice and preferences. Hope this information helps you a little making a difficult choice !// Remo Knops

wow i actually like this phone. my new hd2 is really nice. i mean it’s not perfect but it has it’s good with it’s bads. i like my new unlocked world phones. screen is nice and responsive. i don’t like the buttons on the bottom and it’s kind of big but i’ll keep it. processor is faster, email is great for my business, the web browser is great for navigating and keeping up on my facebook and fantasy football. much better than my old unlocked at&t phones. my wife loves hers for the games and camera to catch all the kids and their moments. she loves her new unlocked t-mobile phones. my daughter takes great pictures with hers and my partner likes his for the gps and business apps. and the games are fun too. got my last couple unlocked cell phones at gsmauthority.com and 2 thumbs way up

Hi Derek,

Yes the HTC HD2 has a calculator –> Calculator for Pocket PC version 1.1 (build 1920.1131)
It is a calculator developed by HTC and optimized for use via “touch” !

“With footprints it is possible to add meta-data to photo’s.”

“Position of the camera lens. I think the lens will damage quickly because the device rests on it when it is placed on it’s back.”

this is a fantastic unlocked gsm phone. easy to use, screen is HUGE so the facebook and internet surfing is great. texting is surprisingly easy to use even though there’s no keys and it keep my wife and kids busy on the road with all the games and apps. much better than my old unlocked phone. got my last couple at gsmallover.com and we love them. htc is really stepping up their game lately!

I just baught my HD2 about an hour ago. Love what I see, and looking forward to getting my hands on the rom side of it.

I begin using windows mobile starting with the T-Mobile Shadow. That was wehn I first learned about Windows Mobile. As I was a computer technician then, and still am, I soon began to work on making the Shadow’s rom better for all users. I created themes mainly, and am still the only themer for the 6.5 ROM that has been put onto the Shadow.

I then got the LG Incite, and started off by making themes. I quickly began to learn how to do more however, and a few months ago I began to create ROMs for the Incite. My Incite rom is currently one of the most stable Incite ROMs. I am currently developing another incite ROM based off my first, but this time with more resources and customizations.

I have been a computer technician for over 4 years now, that is just the professional side of my skills. Before the pro side computer modding and hacking was just a hobby I did that became very helpful when trying to get past security features at the high school.
I love windows mobile and look forward to getting to know you all, and be a bennefit to the community.

BTW, I came across http://www.HTCHD2forum.com it’s a must see for HD2 owners.

Thanks a lot Remo; right now I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 I bought it because I needed a PDA for school and did not want to carry two devices. I have had trouble with my Pro 2 I am on my third on now… it was working fine, but this Tuesday while at work my phone began to over heat right in the case while it was on me. It was so hot it heated up my clothes as well. Also yesterday my screen went black and the buttons lighted up for 30mins since then it has been running really slow.

I am thinking that is not a good thing; what do you think should I return it or is it something I can do? I really enjoy the Pro 2, and there is no other phone that is compatable with the Pro 2 right now, so I would take a lost. Thannks.

Dear Lijah,Thank you for your comment. The HTC HD2, at least the European version, has Adobe Reader LE, Office Mobile and Google Maps installed out-of-the-box. I'm not sure what the differences are with the USA-based T-Mobile version of the HTC HD2.However I installed Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 beta via Windows Marketplace for Mobile, and the latest version of Windows Live for Windows Phone.If you have any additional questions please let us know.// Remo Knops

The HTC HD2 deals with all WinMo competition. Easily. TouchFLO is a revelation, and the only failings are the slightly sluggish scrolling and the lacklustre mail.

For the Stylus I would Recommend reading this article (http://www.mobilityminded.com/6176/dagi-capacitive-stylus-for-htc-hd2-iphone-3gs-or-google-nexus-one) by Remo.
As handwriting software I would recommend PhatWare Calligrapher – (http://phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/calligrapher), But I’m not 100% sure it’s compatible with the HD2 since I cannot test it at the moment..
