HTC HD2 Will Hit U.S. Exclusively on T-Mobile

Gear Diary HTC HD2 Will Hit U.S. Exclusively on T Mobile photo

Since Judie’s initial preview of the HD2 in November, we’ve been waiting patiently (ok, not so patiently, but we’ve been waiting) on the official word on this phone hitting the U.S. If there’s an upcoming phone that can give off some Windows hotness, it’s the HD2. Now we know that it’s going to be exclusive to T-Mobile and greet consumers this Spring (yeah, I know…So. Far. Away).

Available this spring, the ultra-slim HTC HD2 features a 4.3” capacitive touchscreen, a super fast 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, and HTC Sense. Designed with you in mind, HTC Sense puts people at the center by providing all information you deem relevant at your fingertips. Customizable home screens, a robust contacts list, and an intuitive proximity sensor are just some of the ways the HTC HD2 provides a more simple and natural experience.

Full Details Follow — as does a long, cold winter with no HD2 at my side.

LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2010

T-Mobile USA, Inc. and HTC today announced that HTC HD2 is expected to be available for the first time in the U.S. exclusively from T-Mobile USA this spring. With its industry-leading, high-resolution, 4.3-inch capacitive touch display and high-powered features, the ultrathin HTC HD2 phone delivers content in a sharper, brighter and richer way.The HTC HD2 comes equipped with the 1GHz Snapdragon™ by Qualcomm mobile processor and utilizes T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network for a fast mobile data experience.

“T-Mobile and HTC have a long history of partnering to deliver innovative, cutting-edge products to T-Mobile customers,” said George Harrison, vice president, marketing product innovation, T-Mobile USA.
“The HTC HD2 delivers a thin, sophisticated design and powerful features that we are excited to add to our dynamic smartphone lineup this spring.”

The HTC HD2 is the first Windows® phone with HTC Sense, a software experience focused on putting people at the center by making their phones work in a more simple, natural and personal way. With the HTC Sense experience, the HTC HD2 includes a variety of enhancements that expand and improve the overall phone experience. For example, the HTC HD2 includes a proximity sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call, and a light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display.

“Combining the intuitive user interface based on HTC Sense with an outstanding set of specifications and the powerful T-Mobile network, the HTC HD2 adds up to be not only an amazing device, but an amazing experience as well,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “The HTC HD2 is a Windows phone that has already been enthusiastically received in Europe and Asia, and we are excited to bring this highly anticipated device to the U.S., exclusively through T-Mobile USA.”

The HTC HD2 uses the first capacitive touch display on a Windows phone for the smoothest possible performance and to make viewing, zooming and resizing Web sites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a simple pinching motion. The large capacitive display makes it easy to read and reply to Outlook e-mails, edit a Word document or modify an Excel spreadsheet right from the HTC HD2. In addition, the HTC HD2 delivers advanced phone features including GPS functionality, a Web browser, and an advanced 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash for capturing images, even in dim conditions.
