HTC Touch HD: Impressive Screen Dominates the Mobile
By Jenny • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: HTCWell as we might predict from the name, the HTC Touch HD includes a very impressive display. In fact the display manages to take up nearly the mobile phone’s entire front surface; something HTC has progressively been trying to accomplish in its models. Indeed, the smartphone’s screen is the most unique and impressive aspect of the gadget.
The new HTC Touch HD offers a large 3.8 inches high definition display with a stunning resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (65K colors). It’s a 3.5G ready phone which has an extreme processing speed on account of its embedded Qualcomm MSM 7201A 528 MHz processor, 512 MB ROM and 288 MB RAM. Indeed, these high-end specs are nearly approaching laptop caliber. The smartphone has Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and the company claims data speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps on HSDPA networks.
Some of the smartphone’s other important specifications include:
• 3G
• WLAN
• Bluetooth
• SMS, MMS, Email, Instant Messaging
• WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML browser
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system
• TouchFLO 3D finger swipe navigation
• Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
• Touch-sensitive navigation controls
• Handwriting recognition
• Built-in GPS receiver,
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• Pocket Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, PDF viewer)
• Java MIDP 2.0, Voice memo
• MP3 player,
The Touch HD has similar dimensions to the Apple iPhone, though with an even more overbearing screen. Just like the mobile’s other features, its included 5 megapixel colour camera with auto focus is especially high-end for a mobile phone. To put the quality of the camera into perspective, for example, it is completely on par with many dedicated compact digital cameras such as the 5 megapixel ViviCam 5050. There is also a secondary VGA CMOS colour camera intended purely for video conferencing.
