Well, today concludes the first day with the HTC HD2.
Overall, I am a happy consumer. However, just like with everything I have some pet peeves with it:
- Installing Google Mobile made the device incredibly slow. Uninstalling and then rebooting the phone did not fix it. So I had to resort to the hard reset option (source: HTC HD2 Leo Hard reset – Soft reset.) Not so happy with that. I am happy with how fast I could get my stuff back (Microsoft My Phone and the Google Active Sync took care of that)
- The screen is like a magnet for finger-smearing… ;-)
- Although not specifically the phone that caused it; I had to setup a completely empty Windows Mobile Device Center profile (with nothing ticked) so WMDC on my PC wouldn’t keep bouncing up and down like a Jack Russel on crack every time I connected the phone.
- I also noticed when manually setting up the Active-sync profile SMS syncing was showing. So far I haven’t found anything on this matter from Google, so I am not using it (anyone?)
- It doesn’t use the storage-card for message/attachment storing by default.
- I’ll admit that it’s not as big of an annoyance as I first thought it would be – but it’s in Dutch, which I am of course. But still!
