sent from HD2 with Froyo Sense inside.. >  > paling seru liat paragraf trakhir..nekad jg nokia :)) > > Great day out at London yesterday attending the HTC unveiling besides a few > shall we say ‘technical hiccups’ – My camera broke while recording the > announcement & the wi-fi was severely overloaded… but I rolled with the > punches. > >  <http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Panorama-1.JPG> > > HTC chose a great venue (click pic above) right by the Thames River with a > great view of Tower Bridge and lots of people from all parts of the world > attending; now to the unveiling. As soon as the curtain was pulled there was > a fantasticly huge screen showing HTC’s themes interactively on screen. HTC > executives and staff appeared on stage showing off the new HTC Sense – > “Sense 2.0″ – and finally unveil the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z. > > Check out my brief hands-on below with detailed textual analysis following: > > *HTC DESIRE HD* > > My favourite of both phones – it made such an impression on me that this is > my next mobile when it launches. Packing a crispy yet natural looking > super-LCD display measuring a whopping 4.3″, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, > 8 mega pixel camera capable of recording HD 720p video and duel LED flash. > Other technology includes Dolby surround sound both through the speakers and > earphones, and an FM radio. All this is sculpted inside a solid aluminium > block creating a practically seamless design just like the HTC Legend. > > So how does it feel? Gorgeous. It’s a large phone, HTC have mastered the > balance of size and weight for it, it’s not too light and it’s no brick – > it’s slim (11.8 mm in fact) – it feels nice to hold being seamless aluminium > and it generally feels sturdy. A pleasure to hold and use – one thing that > really interested me was the size of the virtual keyboard, helpfully a > little bigger and nicer to use than the one on my HTC Magic and other phones > that have a smaller screen. > > < http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HTC-Desire-HD_Front+Back+Left.jpg > >  < http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HTC-Desire-HD_Inside.jpg> >  <http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000631.JPG>< http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000670.JPG> > > *HTC DESIRE Z* > > I like it! – Nice to handle, not that bad of a looker in my opinion and > finally HTC give us another QWERTY phone! The feel of the phone is rather > smooth, fits nicely in the hand and and easy to use one handed portrait. For > a QWERTY phone it seems rather slim too and popping out the keyboard is > swift with the hinged design, you push and it pops – quick and easy. The > keyboard has obviously had some effort put into it. The general design and > size is a real pro when you want to type and then interact on the screen > because the keyboard is not so wide that you have to stretch your finger to > touch the screen. Key spacing is quite important and the Desire Z does quite > well, I especially like the 2 programmable buttons on the bottom right. > >  <http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HTC-Desire-Z_3Views.jpg ><http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HTC-Desire-Z.jpg> >  <http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000638.JPG>< http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000648.JPG> > > *HTC SENSE 2.0* > > In my opinion sense 2.0 brings some welcome both ‘under the bonnet’ and > ‘front’ improvements and features. One of the biggest being interactive > online at htcsense.com allowing functions such as online back up, installing > apps from your pc, locating, tracking, locking and “self-destruct data” of > the phone. Finding your Android phone near you even if it’s on silent, you > can even set your phone on divert so if you ever leave it on your desk at > work you can set it to divert calls to your home phone. > > Other welcome features include: > > *10 second Fastboot!* *needs no introduction…..**Themes!* You can skin and > theme your home screen and status bar with several designs and even preview > the theme before applying it without the need for any other app.*The ability > to flip the phone on it’s face to reject a call**The ability to pre-cache > maps and use them offline* -* I hate having to wait for the maps to load > while zooming in and out – problem solved!* They’ve also *somewhat enhanced > the compass* by making it point to where you need to go say for > navigating.Long press on a word and you can *highlight and search that > particular word or phrase easily* through Google, Wikipedia etc.*The phone > ‘knows’ certain scenarios and adjusts the volume accordingly*, so if it’s in > your bag the phone will ring louder and if say it was out , the ring will be > lower.*Extended caller info* *- a good idea*. So when your friends or family > call latest updates from social networking sites also appear on screen or if > say they have a birthday coming up. *I can see this being very useful.**If > your using the maps/navigation app – when you receive a call instead of you > being taken away from the app it will actually add a ‘layer’ at the bottom > of the screen of the person calling.* *Wouldn’t it be awesome if this > feature was included for games etc too!**Being able to connect your device > to a TV via DNLA**An improved camera and gallery app* allowing you to > digitally zoom using a bar on screen, a gallery that nicely displays your > snaps and you can edit photos like cropping and adding effects. When you > upload them to Facebook you can tag friends too – no longer do you have to > upload it from your phone and use a pc to instantly tag your images.*A built > in Ebook functionality**- perfect as ebooks have been becoming more popular* > > Some of these functionalities are already available via apps on the market > but it’s nice to actually have them incorporated in. Some other features > should really have been in Android already – for example I dislike when I’m > in the middle of playing a game or in an app and then the phone rings and > I’m taken to the incoming call screen, a little bar layered on the bottom of > the screen is definitely a good idea **hint hint Google & Modders**. > > *Now for some niggly bits & bobs :* > > It’s a shame neither phone comes with a kickstand. Both have great quality > screens and Dolby surround sound but what about when you want to watch a > movie? we’ll have to lean it on something to enjoy watching it.No front > facing camera! Video calling is easier than ever with apps like Fring > allowing free video calls, shame this was left out!No Dedicated camera > button – they’re just handy!No fastboot if you pull the battery. I > specifically asked about this one and the fast boot works by making the > phone go into a very low-resourceful state – fantastic aspect but if the > battery does get removed from the phone normal boot time remains. No > complaints on this one really. > > Overall I’m personally very pleased with both phones and would recommend > them, during the time I had played with them the screens were very nice to > use and responsive along with the UI.
