Paul,

On my Touch Pro I run into issues if I try to run CamerAware and Co-Pilot Live 8 at the same time, is this something you could test on the HD2 to see if you encounter any low memory issues or GPS glitches?

Cheers.

Hey Paul,

back to my RAM question - I guess what I'm wondering is that there is another 160MB of RAM in the HD2 over the Touch HD - how much of that extra is "spare" e.g. for browsing or whatever, and how much has been taken up by a resource hungry Sense UI overlay?

Any way you can compare the two?  You can probably tell i'm not very technical.

sharing your anger!  I don't know why, but I fall for the "we'll be releasing it next week" line every time.

A heads up that i'm pretty disappointed with the battery life in my limited testing so far...

Booo. :D

How long did it last and what background applicatons/services were running?

Could it be because the ROM is not final? Or it's deffo final?

Hi Paul,

Just a question: is the HD2 a huge jump forward compared to, let's say, a HTC Blackstone with a wm 6.5 218xx rom, apart from the Snapdragon cpu?

You can use the LED light in camcorder mode. It auto focuses prior to starting the video then stays at that setting.

I will put a DivX on today and test!

cheers Paul, looking forward to the results.

Don't forget that Austria is cold during winter and you need gloves :D
Well, jokes aside the main point left seems to be the battery life... hope to hear more soon!

actually paul, how did you manage to get hold of the hd2 at such an early stage?

also, do you know why they come with a 2gb memory card instead of an 8gb....?

is this device capable of putting in a 16gb memory card?

Does it come with a case? I've noticed a couple of sites advertising the official HTC HD2 leather slip case that's supposedly included with the phone but on all the unboxing videos I've seen there's no sign of one. Which is a bit stingey for a £500 phone. I like to protect my investment.

Also how sturdy is the screen? Easily scratchable or not? And does it have the oleophobic coating like the iPhone 3GS?

Mine didn't, but it wasn't a full retail box I suspect (hence no unboxing)...
