T-Mobile and the HTC HD2

 I will say this ... Apple and their "i" products are keeping the mobile industry ripe with new innovations and competition. I am glad to see that their maybe some true competitors emerging!

AT&T has the iPad. Now T-Mobile has the HTC HD2. In a surprising move, T-Mobile on Tuesday launched its anticipated big-screen smartphone with a focus on e-books and movie rentals.

"The HD2 will be T-Mobile's first entertainment device," said Brenda Fisher, marketing product innovation manager for T-Mobile.



The HD2, as it's known to most of the world, is probably the best Windows Mobile 6.5 phone ever. It has a gigantic 4.3-inch, 800-by-480 capacitive multitouch screen, it runs a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, it's thin, and it mostly papers over Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 interface with an attractive series of panels HTC calls TouchFlo 3D.

Into that mix, T-Mobile has thrown various types of preloaded software. The HD2 will come with a new Blockbuster app that allows full movie downloads (both purchases and rentals), MobiTV's app for live and recorded streaming TV, and Barnes & Noble's eReader Pro for Windows Mobile for e-books.
