T-MOBILE USA TO EXCLUSIVELY OFFER HTC HD2
Arriving in the U.S. this spring, the HTC HD2 features a big, brilliant screen, blazing fast processor, and the celebrated HTC Sense™ experience

LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2010 – T-Mobile USA, Inc. and HTC today announced that HTC HD2ä  is expected to be available for the first time in the U.S. exclusively from T-Mobile USA this spring. With its industry-leading, high-resolution, 4.3-inch capacitive touch display and high-powered features, the ultrathin HTC HD2 phone delivers content in a sharper, brighter and richer way.

The HTC HD2 comes equipped with the 1GHz Snapdragon™ by Qualcomm mobile processor and utilizes T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network for a fast mobile data experience.

“T-Mobile and HTC have a long history of partnering to deliver innovative, cutting-edge products to T-Mobile customers,” said George Harrison, vice president, marketing product innovation, T-Mobile USA. “The HTC HD2 delivers a thin, sophisticated design and powerful features that we are excited to add to our dynamic smartphone lineup this spring.”

The HTC HD2 is the first Windows® phone with HTC Sense, a software experience focused on putting people at the center by making their phones work in a more simple, natural and personal way. With the HTC Sense experience, the HTC HD2 includes a variety of enhancements that expand and improve the overall phone experience. For example, the HTC HD2 includes a proximity sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call, and a light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display.

“Combining the intuitive user interface based on HTC Sense with an outstanding set of specifications and the powerful T-Mobile network, the HTC HD2 adds up to be not only an amazing device, but an amazing experience as well,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “The HTC HD2 is a Windows phone that has already been enthusiastically received in Europe and Asia, and we are excited to bring this highly anticipated device to the U.S., exclusively through T-Mobile USA.”

The HTC HD2 uses the first capacitive touch display on a Windows phone for the smoothest possible performance and to make viewing, zooming and resizing Web sites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a simple pinching motion. The large capacitive display makes it easy to read and reply to Outlook e-mails, edit a Word document or modify an Excel spreadsheet right from the HTC HD2. In addition, the HTC HD2 delivers advanced phone features including GPS functionality, a Web browser, and an advanced 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash for capturing images, even in dim conditions.

The HTC HD2 is expected to be available in the U.S. exclusively to T-Mobile customers this spring. More details will be available at http://www.sticktogether.com/htchd2.

    @Drew

    Agree with Drew’s comments.

    I’m beginning to like WinMo with my TP2, but coming off iPhone, you can tell how far MS is behind. Winmo is not as bad as most people say it is, just hoping MS comes out with WinMo 7 with a bang like Windows 7. There are somedays that I wish I had my iPhone back but again I’m happy wiht the Touch Pro 2 for the moment. Nexus One, HD2, and upcoming iPhone are in my radar for next purchase.

    I checked with T-Mo, No 3-G coverage in Springfield, MO. They say it’s coming the summer 2010…this is the Sho-Me State!

    im disppointed it is not with verizon.
    can this phone talk and surf the web at the same time?

    A total disappointment by this announcement. What a waste for the US market. T-Mobile had to be the _worst_ choice amongst the top US carriers. their network coverage is abysmal.

    I had really been looking forward to this phone but on the T-Mobile network no way!

    APK: “I checked with T-Mo, No 3-G coverage in Springfield, MO. They say it’s coming the summer 2010…this is the Sho-Me State!”

    This is the crux of the problem. T-Mobile is stilll just barely trickling out its 3G network while other carriers have already started rolling out or are actively in late planning stages for 4G networks.

    On T-Mob? Man oh man. Total bummer. All this excitement about new hardware is so utterly buzz-killed by the dismal carrier implementation. Wouldn’t it be great if you could take a GSM device to any GSM carrier and make it work?
    Make me just want to go get a free dumb phone and forget all the hype. Always wishing for the next great thing and watching how messed up it becomes…

    Would be nice if this T-Mobile version covered more than two 3G bands like say 900MHz, or even 850MHz..

    Thanks USA for fragmenting what was supposed to be band unification @ 2100MHz.
