Editors note: I apologize beforehand for the video quality, my digital camera went and broke down on me right before shooting. The quality is ok but it’s certainly not our best effort. Next time will be better, I promise!
Let me just put this right out there. The HTC HD2 is a FANTASTIC phone and I have loved every minute of using it.  I have never been a Windows Mobile Phone fan and have made little effort to hide that, much to the chagrin of my colleague Mystictrust.  That being said, whether the phone is better than this phone or that phone is a matter of absolute opinion.  Whether it is better than Android or better than Blackberry is going to be up to you, the individual user.  The decision will depend on what your requirements for phones are, what preferences you have, etc. When you ask something of the HD2, the snapdragon processor screams to life and makes browsing the phone effortless.  Of course, there are the usual hang-ups and slowdowns but I’ve been pushing the phone hard so I thought nothing of these infrequent hiccups.
The rest of the review follows after the jump as well as a full gallery of images!
While today’s attention will almost undoubtedly be focused on the Nexus One, for the last two and a half weeks or so I have been playing with the Blackberry 9700 Bold. I’ve kept the phone far longer than I was supposed to as I simply didn’t want to give it back. I love it even with all the faults of the Blackberry OS, and there are not many. The 9700 is a magnificent device for both the power user and the individual who simply relies on email.
Frankly stated, the T-Mobile Tap is among the worst phones I have ever had the displeasure of using. There really is little positive to say about this device and, while I can’t say I’m truthfully surprised, I was hoping to come up with at least one thing that I actually liked about this phone. All I can think of is the form factor. What appears at first glance to be a copycat of the Samsung Highlight actually comes off being exactly that.
The list of phones these days that actually gets me into a frenzy remains remarkably short considering my nerd-like excitement over new devices. Â Â That being said, the Samsung Behold 2 was on the short list of phones I was really looking forward to getting for a hands-on evaluation and, thanks to the fine folks at Samsung, TmoNews has its very first review device.
