The HTC HD2, which FreewarePocketPC is giving away for voting in 2009 Awards, running Windows Mobile 6.5 with a large capacitive glass touchscreen gets put under stress with some scratch testing. And the result is very impressive - the smartphone show no scratches from fighting a knife, keys, and some scissors! Great quality HTC!
Verizon was so kind to leak quite a few pages filled with issues that need to be fixed in the near future. What issues you ask? Well it looks like neither the Droid nor the Droid Eris are the perfect phones you were expecting. Both have flaws that need to be addressed and a firmware update is going to arrive soon.
The leaked documents suggest that a first OTA update is going to be launched on December 11 while another one could follow at some point in January. In total Verizon came up with 5 pages for the Droid and 7 pages for the Droid Eris and they are filled with bugs that need to be addressed.

At the recent HD2 launch event HTC's CEO Peter Chou indicated a good point of view when comparing HD2 and iPhone. It is the screen resolution. The iPhone sports a relatively low screen resolution of 480 pixels down and 320 across, but the latest Windows Mobile device, like the HD2, has 800 pixels down and 480 across. In short this means that more data can fit on the screen at a time, translating to less scrolling in email, a higher resolution view of photos, better web experience, etc.
The HTC Droid Eris is no secret anymore. In fact the Internet is filled with details and pictures of the phone and we already know that it will be available starting with November 6 in Verizon Wireless stores.

Well look what the cat dragged in. T-Mobile UK seems ready to launch a couple of interesting devices. These are the HTC HD2 and the HTC Touch2. You'll have to admit it's a pleasant surprise to hear that, especially since we can all start dreaming about T-Mobile US bringing the same phones soon.

If you live in Canada and would love a new Android phone then we have an alternative for you. The HTC Hero, one of the best Android phones available to date, will be available in a Telus store near you soon. What's even better about it is that it comes in GSM flavor which means it will work no matter where you take it with you.
The GSM HTC Hero will be very similar in specs to the CDMA version. You can expect a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi b/g and HSDPA support. There's no telling if Telus' Hero will come with Android 1.5 or Android 2.0 from the beginning. But HTC did confirm the fact that the Hero will receive the Android 2.0 update so Telus users should expect to see a similar treatment. We have no release dates and pricing details at this point but we'll be back with more once Telus makes the Hero official.

Leaked documents have confirmed what we already know; the HTC Droid Eris is indeed coming on November 6 and it will be available for $99. Verizon will launch the cheapest Android phone in the U.S. and you'll be able to get it next Friday.
The leaked documents confirm that the HTC Droid Eris is going to offer you a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, a 320 x 480 screen, 8GB microSD card and Android 1.5 in the background.
In other words the Droid Eris is another version of the Hero which is pretty bad news for Sprint. The carrier is selling the Hero
for $179.99 and it won't be happy to see Big Red offering a similar phone for almost half the price.
