3G
The HTC Touch HD features 3G which stands for third generation, and the system is the third generation in the evolution of mobile networks, after analogue and GSM. 3G offers high speed data transfers and the ability to make video calls between compatible mobile phones.
HSDPA
HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.
Full Touch Screen
The HTC Touch HD has a large bright TFT touch screen supporting HTC's innovative TouchFLO 3D for finger swipe navigation. Use your hands or the stylus that comes included, the Touch HD even supports handwriting recognition and has an accelerometer for auto screen rotation!
Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi you can use your HTC phone on Orange to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.
Bluetooth 2.0
Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.
GPS
With built in GPS you can use the Touch HD to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general Sat Nav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software.
A-GPS
A-GPS is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them. When combined with a GPS enabled mobile phone, the addition of A-GPS enables a faster GPS satellite lock.
Java
Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it's likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.
Music Player
With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.
Stereo FM Radio
With a Stereo FM Radio built in to the Orange Touch, you will always have access to the latest tunes on your phone. Tune in to your favourite station, whenever you want, straight from your phone.
Email Client
The HTC touch hd has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch.
5.0 Megapixel Camera
A built in 5.0 megapixel camera, with auto focus, the HTC Touch HD takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog.
Web Browser
With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.
The HTC Touch HD boasts some truly mouth watering features including a large 3.8 inch VGA screen, a 5.0 Megapixel camera with auto-focus and GPS capabilities not to forget Wi-Fi connectivity and HSDPA mobile broadband for super fast internet browsing. The Touch HD runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional so it includes the ever useful business tool Pocket Office. The Touch HD also features HTC's ever popular TouchFLO 3D interface for an easier user experience.

TK - Newark-13/10/2009 The Touch HD is an exciting new phone from HTC which takes Windows Mobile to the next level. An attractive phone that features a massive VGA screen. Not too heavy and not too light, the HTC Touch HD houses a large VGA touchscreen that we found more responsive than any HTC device to date. HTC has added a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top so you can plug standard headphones in without an adapter, cutting out all the cable mess. Very good phone. Enjoy.One totally fantastic phone.
AC - Devon-08/09/2009 Having looked at several Windows based phones I chose the Touch HD mainly because of the screen. Having now bought it from mobiles.co.uk, which was painless, I have been using it for a few weeks. When making calls the phone automatically locks when connection is made thus preventing accidental hang up. The TouchFLO software works well, this is a pocket PC, GPS and media device all in one. I have loaded Tomtom Navigator 6, you need to reduce the display resolution; although downscaling the resolution I found the picture quality still better than my old Pocket PC/GPS device. I can watch TV and catchup when in a broadband zone thanks to the built in Iplayer. So would I swap it for an iPhone or Blackberry? - no. This phone does all that I ask of it and it does it well.
TH - Newark-07/05/2009 Slim design; large screen; HSDPA; Wi-Fi; GPS; 3.5mm headphone jack . The HTC Touch HD is HTC's finest Windows Mobile phone yet. A slim casing houses a large, responsive VGA screen. But it's not just about looks because inside this attractive phone lies the heart of a beast. GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and a 3.5mm headphone jack make for a very smart phone, The best touch phone ever 4 me . thanks
PM - Scotland-01/05/2009 Really nice looking phone and rich on features. Windows Mobile is a popular OS and there are plenty of applications for it.
HI - Cardiff-24/04/2009 TOUCH HD HAS GOT EXCELLENT OPTIONS, THE 3.8INCHES SCREEN (IT ROCKS) HD GIVES THE MAXIMUM CLARITY FOR THE PHONE. IT COMES WITH A 8GB MEMORY MICRO SD WHICH IS THE BETTER OPTION FOR STORAGE. OH I FORGOT ABOUT THE 5MP CAM CLARITY IN WHICH WE CAN GET A CRYSTAL CLEAR IMAGES AND VIDEOS. EVEN THE SECONDARY CAM HAS A SORT OF 2MP CLARITY. THE BEST 3G PHONE EVER MADE, ORDER IT THROUGH MOBILES.CO.UK TO GET A ULTIMATE SERVICE OPTIONS WHICH IS NOT DONE BY ANYOTHER ONLINE RETAILERS.
R.F - Cumbria-07/04/2009 The HTC Touch HD really it the limit of technology right now, it has nearly everything you would ever need on a PDA. The size of the screen is not too big and the resolution makes everything crystal clear, it is also crazily slim too (close the the Motorola RAZR) and it fits perfectly in my jean's pockets. The software out there is virtually limitless, from stopwatches to GPS software. I also found the camera to be great as it has auto focus, when you take the shot it will carefully sharpen/focus what you are targeting. The only downside to this great phone is the lack of a keyboard which I was so used to, that being said, it would nearly double the thickness so I think it's a good trade-off.
R.A - Edinburgh-07/04/2009 I think the HTC Touch HD is one of the best touch screen phones presently available in the market. Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system is very easy to use if you have any basic windows knowledge. Just connect your phone to pc and drag and drop. Unplug your phone and install the software you want to use. I would strongly recommend buying this phone! Also make sure you get the unlimited internet package to get the most out of it. The Teeter game already installed on mobile is just too good as it comes with motion detection.
GG - Newcastle-06/04/2009 First time using mobiles.co.uk, well what can I say, but spot on. Delivery next day as stated. Excellent telephone services, answered all my questions. Will definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Mobiles.co.uk. A very happy customer.
DS - Manchester-02/04/2009 Quality phone! Loads of programs, just need time to fiddle and learn how to use them
CC - East sussex-27/03/2009 A really fantastic phone, with new surprising features around every corner! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my new phone,. But once you get your head around them and realise just how clever this little phone is, you really appreciate all its content. It looks amazing, with style way above the iPhone and does everything you’ll ever need it to do. A brilliant miniature pocket computer! Who needs a laptop now?! Thanks MOBILES, your service was great with excellent next day delivery! X
DC - Devon-06/03/2009 Received the phone the day after I ordered it - as promised, good start :-) It took an hour to get to grips with the touch interface and find my way around the phone, haven't looked back since, a great phone that can't fail to satisfy the gadget hungry.
VI - Cumbria-26/02/2009 The HTC Touch HD is the definition of a whole new generation of mobile phones and is the leading phone for smartphones. It packs in a good Windows Mobile 6.1 with functions which many phones could not do, even the Iphone. The sexy style of display and ease of use, sleek yet strong build and its great graphics is amazing. I am a very proud owner of this phone. It is what people have been waiting for. Thank you
CG - London-09/02/2009 My words to describe this phone are: "What an amazing phone". It does everything you will ever need of a phone plus more. Get one now before it’s too late.
CM - Hampshire-30/01/2009 The HTC Touch HD is a great phone. Its easy to use, has great internet features and GPS. It is also a windows smart phone - great for running windows apps and extending its functionality.
LX - Dorset-30/01/2009 I do love the new HD Touch. It has a nice intuitive interface for the Windows Mobile platform, unlike some I have used. I use it a lot to check emails on the go and you can even use Twitter on it. A very nice handset from HTC.
CX - Norfolk-29/01/2009 Having searched the market for weeks in order to find the best WinMo Touchscreen phone, I am absolutely blown away by the touch HD! The screen and camera are fantastic and the interface a dream to use! Highly recommended! Kind regards
SM - Cumbria-29/01/2009 Basically very happy with the phone. I find Windows mobile quite glitchy and this is where the main improvements are needed. Unlike the Iphone, you can load any program you like on it. Its a mini computer. I have TomTom and Memory Map and love having internet. You need to be comfortable with computers to get the best out of it.
NG - Durham-29/01/2009 Having debated with myself for weeks, whether to go for the HTC Touch HD or the Iphone, I finally plumped for the HTC. I couldn’t be more happy. What a great phone/device. It does exactly what it says on the tin!!
V - Kent-29/01/2009 I'm very happy with my new phone! The functionality is brilliant, the looks are very attractive, and the screen is awesome. GPS navigation work very well, as well as the whole Microsoft Office package and other software. The phone would benefit even further from a slide-out keyboard but the large screen makes up for it. The phone is light and doesn't look like a brick. And the best thing is that it is so stylish! Thank you!
CO - Derbyshire-29/01/2009 Best phone bought full of easy to use features. Best gadget I’ve purchased!
PC - Berkshire-29/01/2009 I'd read that the HTC Touch HD was better than the iPhone and in many ways it is. It looks cool and has great features. Being Windows Mobile 6.1 is great as you can get lots of great stuff for it. Not having any physical keys means that some applications don't work and having such a large screen also makes some applications look a little funny. But it's email, rss, wifi, and TouchFlow 3D interface make up for it no problem. I would recommend this phone even though I think the interface is a little slicker on the iPhone.
DG - Rutland-29/01/2009 I've been very pleased with my Touch HD. It is very user friendly and the TouchFlo 3D interface is a great addition to Windows Mobile. The phone comes with a good range of applications including Google Maps, which works nicely with the integrated GPS, and YouTube software. The only criticism I have is that there is no flash for the camera (which is otherwise excellent). A great phone and great value and service from Mobiles.co.uk
CJ - Lancashire-29/01/2009 The HTC Touch HD is a truly great device. I've owned Windows Mobiles previously but nothing compares to this new release from HTC. The large display and TouchFlo 3D interface make the Touch HD a real pleasure to use. The large screen also comes in very handy when using the device as Sat Nav with the help of the integrated GPS receiver. This phone really does have everything you could ask for and more. The free gift of a Jabra Bluetooth headset from Mobiles.co.uk was just the icing on the cake.
OF - GB-05/12/2008 The HTC Touch HD really exceeded my expectations. The phone is packed with features - every connectivity option available; reasonable camera; huge impressive screen. The phone is supplied with generous 8Gb card as well.
ED - GB-02/12/2008 The phone is simply great! It is very sleek and looks stunning! I was waiting patiently from hearing that such a phone would be released, and have certainly not been disappointed. I love the display and the touchscreen, and the interface and features are super too. Definitely a great choice of phone that I have been recommending to all my friends!
TG - GB-28/11/2008 The phone feels well built to hold and its applications easily rival that of phones of similar specifications. Particularly impressive is how the designers have thought about how the interface can "work" as opposed to just looking nice which a lot of phones seem to do these days. Despite the amount of features the phone boasts its size is not massive, it is certainly no thicker than an average phone but boasts an impressive 3.8inch screen. Having bought the HTC Touch HD I am very pleased with my purchase
MI - GB-28/11/2008 My new phone is everything I wanted it to be, it has many features for work purposes and also lots of features for novelty value. I really like the stock features so I can track my shares and also the 5 day weather forecast is a great feature aswell. It will be nice to have more themes available but due to it being new I'm sure there will be more coming soon. great and fast service from the guys at mobiles.co.uk. thank you
AR - GB-27/11/2008 Bought the HTC Touch HD as a replacement for my HTC Tytn II and am very pleased with my first touch screen mobile. The large screen and Touch interface easily out-perform the over-hyped iPhone. Browsing the internet and mapping your routes via the in-built GPS is superb and (in my area) manages to lock onto GPS satellites every time with ease. I would highly recommend this phone.
DS - GB-26/11/2008 The Screen is big and has very good resolution. Better display than Touch diamond. Touch Flo 3D is good, takes a while to get used to. 5 MP camera is useful. It hasa memory expansion slot which is an added advantage. Has got a few extra functions like facility to forward SMS, direct push e-mail, stocks tab etc. 3.5 mm jack for head phone is helpful. Headphones supplied with the handset are very ordinary. Overall a very compact and elegant handset. Scores 9/10 for me.
NC - London-20/11/2008 The HTC Touch HD is a breeze to use with the touchflow navigation. It is easy to set up and customise and the screen is large, clear and a pleasure to use. Also the inclusion of an 8 GB memory card makes it as good as an iPhone for music and video, while being alot more flexible. A phone i can honestly recommend.
DW - GB-17/11/2008 The Touch HD is the windows mobile phone I would have designed for myself its large screen has great clarity and colours and the touchflo interface makes navigating using the screen a delight. If you want a great looking phone that's versatile too then I can't think of a better choice.
VE - GB-14/11/2008 My new HTC Touch HD is great! I love the quality of the phone itself and the features are great too. I'm especially satisfied by the awesome screen of the HD! It makes everything look crisp and beautiful. Windows Mobile 6.1 takes a little getting used to and is not the most comfortable environment to work in. But the Touch FLO3D makes it so easy! Fantastic phone all in all! Best PDA/Smartphone on the market now! Highly recommended!
DP - GB-12/11/2008 With regards to its Touch screen, HTC have upped their game and made a system that is fast and responsive but if, like me, you are a newbie at using touch screen phones it may take a bit of getting used to. I found search for the Touch HD on Youtube and watching how more experienced people used theirs very helpful. All in all a superb high quality phone that looks as good as it works.
