Mostly due to the big screen and the hardware of it, I wasn't too bothered atleast about the apps since I already have an ipod touch so I normally carry that around so I get the best of both worlds especially cause I can share the itnernet from my phone to my ipod.

But mostly it was the big screen, really makes surfing the web the easiest of all phones I find
[HD2 General] stirkac:
i was between Desire and HD2. I like android more, but crappy touchscreen(as seen on google) made me turn to hd2.

not sorry for one moment about that choice :p
[HD2 General] willgill:
1. I'm comfortable with WinMo

2. My work has an app that needs WinMo. In recent months I found that I won't be needing to run that app, however.

3. It's customizable. iPhone still seems like a smartphone for dummies.

4. I guess this is part of #3, I want to have my information in front of me, now and on a big screen. On one customized screen, I know the weather, time, email count, messages, and most importantly, upcoming events. With iPhone, I'd have to go into apps looking for the information. It's what-to-do (WinMo) vs what-can-I-do (iPhone).

5. Form factor. At first I thought the screen might be too big. Now I won't get a phone with anything smaller. It's thin too. When I first got it, I felt like I was holding a picture frame to my head.

6. At the time it wasn't a factor, but dual boot to Android is fantastic. I'm actually running Android all the time. There's not much missing from mattc froyo build.
[HD2 General] hazard99:
I had faith that the guys from xda would force android on to the hd2. The a number one reason why no other phone matters is cause of the screen size. atleast on t-mobile.

I bought it because....

.....actually i owned an iphone 3gs for 2 days but then it got stuck and couldnt turn on..

So i sended it back to apple store and i was waiting till they fix it, but it took them so long so i bought the leo while waiting for the iphone 2 b repaird...

i remember it was monday when i bought my leo, and as soon i had the box in my hands they called back from apple store and said - sorry we cant repair your iphone so you get a NEW one :p

But then i kept my leo and sold the iphone, and i havent regret at all!!!!
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
i HATE iphones (anything with that stupid piece of fruit on it actually!) and this is pretty much as opposite to an iphone as it gets; its ot a good screen, a good camera with a flash, it can be tweaked/hacked/modified and its using fast, new hardware. i had a nokia n95 before this, and the screen was huge in comparison-and so thin! ive dipped in and out of windows mobile so had some expeience with it. i used pocket pc 2002, windows mobile 5 (t-mobile mda vario 3) which is when i first used xda to get wm6 onto it. since then i couldnt find a pda that did everything i wanted. now my hd2 has replaced my camera, my mp3 player, my usb flash drive, and is now my main device for news/weather and social networking. the big screen makes things so easy, and despite the heavily biased reviews that all seem to say something along the lines of 'well its not an iphone so its rubbish', im very very happy with it. only thing i sacrificed was battery life, as my n95 could probably go a day on heavy use, whereas the hd2 will be dead early evening time. ive also developed paranoia about scratching/cracking the lovely big screen on it :p
[HD2 General] random_username_:
i was gonna get a desire but (imho) its butt ugly i really liked the look of the hd2 but wasnt too sure about winmo however when i saw the development going on in the forums i decided to get a hd2 and havent looked back :D
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
In the Poll I chose 'Other' because ALL of the other options applied to me....

Why I chose the HD2....

1. 1Ghz CPU

I remember the first widely available 1Ghz DESKTOP Processors. I remember being in awe of the GIGAHERTZ trophy everyone wanted. I remember being amazed at the fact that a home computer could have a ~1000Mhz CPU.

I remember a similar feeling when I heard about the HD2 :eek:

2. My last phone was a Touch Pro2 and in the short time I had it I actually grew to love Windows mobile :eek: Probably because it was my first ever smartphone (previously a samsung jet owner).

I decided the TP2s successor should have WinMo too! :confused:.

The HD2 was the obvious choice.

The thought of having a free upgrade to Windows phone7 swung the decission even further in the hd2s favour.

3. THE SCREEN = BIG. Not amoled like the jet etc. but BIG, with good resolution, decent coulours and brightness.

4. After dabbling with android on the TP2 very briefly, I did some research and found that Android on the HD2 was probably coming withing 6 months. Case closed.... this was the deciding factor for me (coupled with the fact that I liked winmo too).

5. ANDROID! (mentioned above, but its worth mentioning twice :D )

Signed,

One very happy HD2 Dual-booter :D:D:D
[HD2 General] nips_uk:
I bought my HD2 about a month ago now. I bought it because of the hardware inside it. I kinda enjoy the fact that its almost as powerful as my wifes laptop!

Having been a fan of HTC for many many years, its nice to know that my phone is 4 times better than the Iphones and cost me half as much!

Ive been using wm6.5 ozrom with no problems (except not being able to connect to the internet sometimes, i believe this is more the chinese network rather than the phone!)

Pleased as punch with it and kudos to HTC showing yet again, that they rock!
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
I bought it because of the screen & processor(and because thanks to Radio Shack's kickass trade-in program, I was able to get it for EIGHT DOLLARS!), but the biggest reason was because the HD2 is probably the last great, REAL WinMo phone we'll see before Win7(AKA Buzz Killington) comes out & ends an era. The death of WM is gonna be a really hard pill to swallow, nigh on impossible actually, but having the last real WM phone might soften the blow a bit.

I really hope that communities like this one keep WM alive for as long as possible.
[HD2 General] rmdeathwish:
Viva LA WM!!!

WM will never die!!!!

The manufacturers may stop making devices but the community will never die!!!

Long live WM!!
[HD2 General] hanissyazwan:
just 3reason. i choose hd2 because of fast gps reciver phone,support garmin software and big screen. :D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] orb3000:
I moved to Leo because my Rhodium was too slow and I took the hardest desicion of leaving real keyboard device for Leo, I am very satisfied with the performance and now more fun having Android too!

But still miss a real keyboard...

Well said!!!:
[HD2 General] slo_mo:
Used iPhone 3g for few months then replaced it with Touch Pro 2. After 2 weeks of playing touch pro 2 this beast came out. Sold my 2 weeks old Rhodium and bought the HTC HD2. Been using this phone for more than 6 months now.

Reason for buying this phone;

1. Huge screen

2. 1 GHz processor

3. Capacitive touch screen

4. Multi-touch

5. Can read/edit my home and office files

6. Built quality

Didn't even think about WP7 or Android back then, now Android is a big plus.

[HD2 General] ap3604:
I don't have an HD2 yet but I will soon. The main reason I will get it is because I LOVE t-mobile. The fact that they give their customers options on plans that no other carrier does means alot to me.

The only option for me is the best smartphone on t-mobile:

- Nexus One (I currently have this)

- Vibrant (Seems like a great in-between option)

- HD2 (Biggest, baddest 4.3' mofo on t-mobile)

I never gave Windows Mobile 6.5 a chance since I was sheep to everyone else's negative opinion of it but now that I can dual boot theres no risk whatsoever and I'm sure I'll end up liking WM anyways :)
[HD2 General] nomadwgk:
Hardware, screen plus the rest of the tmous phones were bad. So it was basically the only choice i had for an upgrade.
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
Thanks for all the reasons! Another reason I chose it was because I wanted something that is different from everyone else. I've only ever seen one other person with a HD2. It's strange but interesting seeing as you can't walk down the street without seeing 2 people with an iphone. Though they all keep getting their phones out to fiddle with it and show it off whereas I don't need to (unless I'm watching a video on it :D)
[HD2 General] Proz00:
i think the price is good point too

many phones with this hardware is not cheap

u can get used hd2 for fair price sometime really atractive

:)
[HD2 General] hagba:
All those mentioned above PLUS WM has the best Chess software,play/watch online,I wonder if WP7 will ever have this kind of application.
[HD2 General] Myrixamophit:
my reasons...

... the screensize (not the quality), the raw processing power, the formfactor (could even be bigger, at least thicker), the roughness, the design, the highly customizeable OS, the screensize, the option for Win Phone 7 and Android, the onscreen keyboard, the screensize, the completeness of the whole package, the amount of winmo apps (gigantic, though not centralized), the screensize, the benefits of an old, experienced OS base, Manila and what HTC made out of Winmo, the screensize, the HTC-Company Factor, the screensize, the XDA-community and the screensize!

..did I mention the screensize?
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
when i had my omnia, i saw the news that the leo would come with 320mb ram. i already thought i would buy it.. but then i thought i save the money and wait till a phone comes with 512mb ram or nearly that much. + i needed a really big screen after that stupid 3.2" one xD

after i heard that the leo now would get even 448mb ram i just thought im gonna buy it.

so i preordered it and got it from day one...

shortly after then the TMO HD2 got released, we got a hack to enable even more ram. now we have 576mb. lol, what coincidence... xD

well, now, after over half a year with the phone i can say.. i still got the absolutely best phone out there (probably the evo is better, but we dont have that in europe + its android, and winmo is just more powerful :P)

another point was that i knew, the hd2 would be the best and thelast winmo phone. and i wanted the best one

EDIT:

wich one is that? :3
[HD2 General] johnwalk:
definetly the hardware the power of the processor, the screen, even gps gets a lock quicker than anything ive ever seen. I use mines for work and love the sence interface when it comes to grouping emails txt all under the contact info. and reading spread sheets on the go. A workmate has the iphone to be fair when she was scrolling it did seem a bit smoother, but i was squinting my eyes trying to see the screen lol, best phone since the 7500 which now looks and acts like a donkey compaired to this beast.
[HD2 General] robertsmith1873:
For a long time i had a PDA and a Nokia banging together in my pocket thinking, if only my PDA could make calls.

I was looking at the iphone (but i could not bring myself to becone one of those people).

Then i seen the HD2 9 months ago, had a look at the spec and got one within 2 days. now its cracked and running ROM LEOv3....smashin.

I do wish more developers would write for WM.
[HD2 General] whizzkid_cool:

however, i cant update my weather anymore due to data connection switched off(because it cost me a bomb!) can anyone tell me how to update using wifi?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
good point. got 3 hd2's for 150.00 total price with new contract. 50.00 a piece for best winmo phone on the best hardware.
[HD2 General] enyaj:
Because it was love at first sight! I bought my HD2 around 2nd week of Dec last year. Really fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Plus I have been using WinMo since the Windows2002 smarhphones so I understand how to use WinMo phones. I love to tweak the HD2 and the excitement of not knowing whether you are going to be successful in tweaking or you might brick your phone. So far I have never bricked a phone. Don't really like the simpleness of iPhone and I don't feel like Android is there yet, although I have never owned an Android phone.

I have to admit though, my faith in WinMo is slowly fading and am starting to believe Android is the future. My heart doesn't want to think so but my mind is weak:) The hardware of HD2 ROCKs! I would have loved it more and more if it had my HD's virtual keys belw, but, I still love my HD2 to death. Not even my gf can use it. :)
[HD2 General] antaed:
i bought my hd2 back in november last year after a thorough study of all the best smartphones on the market at that time.

these were my finalists and the main conclusions:

- palm pre (+: best os; -: small screen)

- nokia n900 (+: best web browsing, wonderful os; -: didn't like the harware)

- iphone 3g (+: best balance overall ; -: didn't want to go to "jail")

- samsung omnia hd (+: best multimedia experience; -: poor ui on a dying os)

- htc hero (+: best value/money; -: harware)

- htc hd2 (+: best harware, sense ui, xda support; -: was worried about winmo)

i must admit i have chosen the palm pre as the winner, it was love at first sight but it wasn't available in my country and couldn't buy an unbranded one from elsewhere. so i had to forget about my heart and choose another one with my mind (like you have to do when you get married)... :)

to cut the long story short, i have finally chosen the hd2 and i'm very proud i did. it was a very wise decision and i'm sure i couldn't have made a better call.

i simply love my hd2 and nothing out there is a strong enough temptation for me right now :p

edit: i see i'm not the only one falling in love with things... :)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Android vs Winmo

after playing around with froyostone (android) this evening, I'm kinda disappointed in how much android looks like IOS. Instead of apps scrolling sideways, they scroll up and down, but I didn't see any way to set up folders to control the chaos. I downloaded some apps, and they look alot like iphone apps in presentation.

On a positive note, the web browser was nice (could play more types of video), and it seemed to run well, just can't get over the iphone look.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
u are definitely not the only one xD..

u can make folders on ur homescreen, u dont even have to use the menu..

the button is, like andriod says at the start, to show ALL apps, so it does it xD

me, i never use the menu, just using folders on my homescreen.. much better :))) u could even make a page only for apps..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauper7:

THANK YOU, for the simple answer, is there a difficult answer? my apologies. wont happen again. SO, I can just DELETE everything, and re-root?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athanos:
If you already have root, then you can wipe your sd card clean, format it, or whatever, and you will still have root. You will just need to reflash your ROM if you use apps2sd or partition for it. If you do reflash the ROM, then I would suggest a complete wipe (data/dalvich/ext). I have reformatted my sd card many times and never once have i lost root because of it.

There is a setting for it somewhere in the Settings to use USB Mass Storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
and then on the phone you need to select mount drive

optionally, you can hook it up in KIES mode, and then you can drag and drop stuff to it

a loooot easier than Mass storage mode

you don't need to install Kies, only install the drivers

Do anyone here use the Juice Defender app from the market?

If so how is it... has you battery life gotten better or worst with it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] omegasun18:
I use it. For the free version it did not make a big difference for me. The ultimate juice add on has improved my battery life a bit. you can pretty much get the exact same effect if you turn off mobile/wifi manually but if you are like me and forget to do that 90% of the time it can be useful.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
I tried it a while back and to be honest I didn't notice a difference at all. Didn't help nor hurt my battery life.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fldash:
I like it... I think it works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cawu:
I use it all the time, it has made all the difference for me. I manually tweaked the settings to fit my needs, and my battery now lasts 16-20 hours instead of the 5-8 hours on froyo CM6.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
Really? Do you have Ultimate Juice too? And would you mind posting what tweaks you made. I am curious :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] plmiller0905:
Yes, please post your settings
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gmanvbva:
I think it depends on your usage. I am getting very good battery life with just Stock atm (16-20 hours fairly easily).

If you are in situations where you have low/no signal. I could see it saving you a fair amount of battery life.

For example if you worked in a area with poor signal all day and often forget to turn things off or turn wifi on.

Dunno if it's safe or not but i'm using asian rom on my Europe SGS now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
And I'm using a european rom on my Asian phone (and I've flashed so many roms).

Ones to avoid are the US/Canadian/Korean Rom's. Always double check it boots up with I-9000 (the canadian one is I-9000M, still works, but still not recommended).

But as always, there is always an element of risk installing untrusted roms. They might compromise your data, contain trojans, be for another phone or contain "optimisations" which cause serious issues longterm.

But haven't had any problems.. Yet (I think)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
i've flashed various european firmwares (xwjm5, xwjm2, xxjp3) over my stock asian firmware(dxjf4)
