Why the HTC HD2 is Not for You

Android Phones that Are Not Ready for Market

R.  Hill
Everyone knows that when a new phone comes out people will die to get their hands on it. I have been known to acquire a new phone or two when it hits the shelf, or maybe a few months after the phone is released. Some reasons for this are:

1. I want all the kinks worked out before I purchase it.

2. Most people who buy new phones wind up not liking it and want to give it back.

3. All the patches will be available to the consumer.

4. It's way cheaper to go to my phone friend who might have purchased it already but don't like it.

Buying a new android phone is one of those occasions where I had to wait a period of time before I was going to purchase it. But, because of my filter method I used up top, I will not be purchasing the HTC HD2 anytime soon. Some of the problems that I have encountered when talking to my connections are:

1. 1. Not many applications for the phone, let alone free applications like on the My Touch
phone or the G1 phone by T-Mobile.

2. 2. The phone is kind of bulky, but I can deal with that if there were more apps.

3. 3. Some apps on the phone cost a lot to purchase, they want you to sign up for a
subscription, and one app if you look up too many addresses they charge you a fee.

These are just a few reasons why I will have to wait longer or not purchase a HTC HD2 at all. Some of the good things about the phone I like are the wide screen viewing of movies on the phone screen is great. The addition of a radio, like on my old Nokia phones, just plug in the ear plug and you can listen to your favorite local stations. But one thing T-Mobile is not doing is telling the people that customers are turning in phones by the boat load, and Google has given up trying to work out the kinks in it. Google had it right with the G1 and should have made that phone better, and built off its reputation, rather than try and throw their chips all on the table at one time. One thing Google failed to remember was that iPhone producers apple have been working with computers majority of their lives, and Google is new to the game. Sometimes its best in the market of Cells Phones if you are new to the game is to sit back and ride the coat tail of those who are good at it. One day The iPhone will not be the phone everyone is trying to topple but for now just ride the wave and let apple lead the way. Don't worry Google the HTC HD2 technology is not the first phone company to be put under by apple's technology, just look at the industry.

    I know its not an android phone but it is competing as an Android, to the various phones out there that are android. They advertise it as the next best thing against the Iphone and other android phones and it is not, either they are going to have to bow down and accept the android or come up with a total new way of beating the android

    Did you actually notice that the HTC HD2 isn't an ANDROID but a Windows Mobile 6.5 featured device?
