Hi Andy,

Excellent question, and I will try to figure out for you. However I don’t have the HTC HD Mini here myself, but I will investigate. If you find any additional information I’m looking forward to it as well.

Can someone tell me please if you can increase the size of the font when you are typing in a text message on the HTC HD Mini? I know you can increase the size of all your received messages when you read them but i am talking about the actual size of the font as you are typing your txt message. I hope that makes sense ? thanks

Hello there! I recently bought the htc hd mini. It is a great phone and when connected to wireless broadband shows the user what the phone is all about with the great apps you can get. The only real let let down is the lack of support for java and flash player as most site run the updated versions and not the “Windows Mobile” versions and is something they should have seriously looked into. Thanks!

Hi Carolina,

Thank you for your feedback, I changed the value in the specification list. It was correctly in the rest of the review !

I saw in HTC website that the mini has 5.0 megapixel camera, and not 3.2 megapixel as you wrote.

Hi Pametan,

I’m a little more than a decade “in mobile” and in my opinion there is no device that really fits all. HTC is doing some clever positioning to get a significant portion of each segment that contributes to the overall HTC marketshare. HTC releases -on average- every month a device that targets a certain market segment (no matter high, middle, or low). Remark for example the HTC Smart, which is more aimed towards the feature phone segment, but the sales of these devices also contribute -indirect- to more highend devices (money for innovation, etc.) I that respect I’m happy that HTC offers choice, and therefore a higher probablity that someone’s personal requirements and wishes are being met.

However you make a fair point about the ratio effective screensize – front surface area. I wonder what the reasoning behind the choice of this screen implementation would look like. And the HTC Touch Diamond was a great device, and has one of the best formfactors.

When is a device manufacturer going to give us a device that hits the sweet spot? The HD2 is too big, as for that matter is the iphone.

This item has got the size pretty close, but fails to use it to provide a screen that takes up most of the device a la HD2 or iphone.

We need something in the form factor of the original touch diamond that has a screen covering most of the front of the device. Unfortunatly, I suspect it is going to take apple producing an iphone mini before HTC gets it

Hi Georg,

Wat do you think of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ??

I’m most impressed with the device speed, given that the Qualcomm® MSM7227™ “only” runs on a clockspeed of 600 MHz !!

Meanwhile I have both of them. I like the Mini because of the size although there are some restrictions compared with the HD2

Very good review, nicely done!
This actually made my decision between the HD2 and HD mini even easier. The Mini is certainly not a bad choice, but for me personally, the screen’s just too small. Especially with text input; my fingers are a bit bigger than average.
So yes, I’m definitely willing to pay the extra money to get the full power device with a larger screen.
