[November 09, 2009] 'HTC launches HD2 in Europe, Taiwan' Tweet Nov 09, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- HTC and Microsoft have launched the HD2 in Europe and Taiwan. The HD2 is the first Windows phone with HTC Sense, a customer experience focused on putting people at the centre by making their phones work in a more simple, natural and personal way. The HD2 uses the 4.3-inch capacitive touch display on a Windows phone to make viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures. The HD2 utilises Qualcomm's new 1Ghz Snapdragon mobile processor and offers a variety of sensors including a proximity sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call. A light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display. Using its 3G broadband connectivity, the HTC HD2 also offers personal Wi-Fi anywhere for the computer or other devices. Also available for the HTC HD2 is the optional car kit that automatically transforms HD2's user interface into a finger friendly in-car navigation experience for driving. The HTC HD2 showcases messaging, browsing capabilities delivered by Windows Mobile 6.5 and Microsoft Exchange to check and manage multiple e-mail accounts. Microsoft's new My Phone service enables users to automatically back up and synch photos, music, contacts and text messages for free from the HD2 to the web. HTC has also included a new Windows-based version of its Twitter application, HTC Peep. Already shipping in Europe, the HTC HD2 is available around the middle of November with Taiwan Mobile and will be available throughout Asia in the coming month. The HD2 will be available with a major carrier in the US in early 2010. Distributed for DMeurope.com via M2 Communications (www.m2.com) [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
