Tracy and Matt HTC HD2 Review Conclusion:
Almost every touch screen device gets compared to the iPhone and the HD2 is no different. Is the HD2 better than the iPhone? Well in some ways perhaps yes. I certainly has a faster CPU and more RAM and the storage memory can be upgraded or swapped at will. The touch screen is just as sensitive as the iPhone and the HD2 has more pixels. HD2 has a better camera and a flash. For me the biggest benefit the HD2 has over the iPhone is the ability to run multiple applications at the same time so you don't have to end a conversation on Skype to simple check your email for example.
So am I jumping from the iPhone to the HD2? It's a tough call. The HD2 has a lot to offer and it is a lovely handset. The size doesn't bother me. But where the iPhone has the advantage is in the App Store, and the iTunes synchronisation. Sure there's the Marketplace for Windows Mobile but that's not mature enough yet in my opinion. And yes you can sync your Windows Phone with Windows Media Player but it's no where near as seamless. In terms of how I use a mobile I'll probably stick with the iPhone for now, at least until the HD2 comes down in price a little!
If however, you do not have an iPhone and are trying to choose between the HD2 and the iPhone then the descision is even more difficult. If you are familar with Windows Mobile then stick with the HD2 - I would!
