The video shows the phone as being a WI-FI access point. Think this will be available in the T-Mobile version?

Sorry, if you’re reading this post from me again from another blog on here but I want to make sure we all get to enjoy this magnificent specimen in all the glory we can get……….

Check this out HD2oids! Incase you’re like me and just can’t get enough of this beast of a phone. The HTC website has a 7, thats right 7 minute video about the features of and using the HTC HD2. I’ve personally watched it three times. Have fun! Here’s the link http://www.htc.com/www/product/hd2/overview.html. Click on the green take a closer look button.

Thanks for getting it all straightened out. Now I just need to decide if I’m going to buy subsidized or not. But at least this EIP will help if I decide to buy the phone outright in not having to have such a large expense up front.

Thanks again Chaos for posting this. You saved my butt. I should have checked a second time with someone else about EIP and ECL.

For those wondering about SPB Mobile Shell, I had that on my Touch Pro2.

That is a shell, NOT an operating system.

Yes, it goes over HTC Sense because you can have only one shell operating at a time.

SPB Mobile Shell is a great product. It has lots of eye candy (such as the 3D rotating column with different programs/apps/functions on each side).

Using SPB is not a big deal because you can simply tell the handset not to boot up with it or close the program and the shell will disappear.

IMHO SPB has its benefits. It’s something different than WinMo or HTC Sense.

But I found I liked HTC Sense better so I uninstalled the SPB Shell. It’s really a matter of tastes. For example, I really like the HTC Sense shell (user interface) because of the animated weather. And I also like the level of customization HTC Sense provides.

For example, on your home screen you can set up what’s called “Quick Links” to your most often used programs. Then there’s the Tab Bar at the bottom where you can set up tabs for your favorite programs (e-mail, media player, pic viewer, etc.)

As an alternative, there’s also some free shells from XDA that are quite nice too and the price makes them cooler.

Keep in mind that these are all shells. Installing them on the HD2 (assuming they can install on an HD2) does NOT void the warranty or change out or swap the WinMo OS. You are simply installing a different shell or theme, much the same as you can do to a notebook or desktop computer.

Forgot to mention, she said your ECL is not automatically adjusted, there has to be an event to prompt looking at it. Events include switching plans, buying expensive phones or asking for an increase.

So make sure to ask for your ECL to be updated if you intend to buy two HD2s, for example (one for you, one to keep the wife from complaining about your weaknesses).

The impression I got was that all you have to do is ask (for an ECL increase) and you shall receive. Assuming, of course, you ask nicely and are not a creep.

would downloading that SPB shell mess cover the HTC sense UI on the HD2?
