The HTC Touch HD has now been discontinued - We advise the HTC HD2 as an alternative.
Overview of HTC Touch HD
The HTC Touch HD gives you the best touch phone experience to date. Whether playing music or videos, downloading e-mails or navigating from A to B, the HTC Touch HD is the ultimate in Windows Mobile PDA Phones.
A stunning 3.8" WVGA display and an ultrafast HSDPA connection to the Internet give a Web-browsing experience which is fast, with less need for scrolling.
A 5-megapixel camera enables you to take high-resolution and high-quality images and video which can be replayed all from the handheld. What’s more, images are crisp and bright, with rich, deep colours.
A powerful business tool, the HTC Touch HD can handle all of your business applications. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, the HTC Touch HD allows you to load any custom or third-party software packages, if the built-in, contact and calendar applications do not offer the flexibility and functionality which you require.
Got a Word document which needs editing or a presentation you need to practise? Not a problem. The HTC Touch HD has Windows Mobile Office installed as standard, making you more productive when away from a desktop PC.
Get directions, view satellite maps and find your location using Google Maps. Thanks to the large display, maps are bigger and crisper, making street-level navigation that much easier.
Add to this mix Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack and HTC TouchFlo 3D and you have a device with a touch-screen experience which offers true flexibility and productivity. So, if you are a mobile professional who requires all of these features or a self-confessed gadget enthusiast, the HTC Touch HD is likely to suit you.

"received my precious :0 its amazing thing... I'm really impressed
"
Giorgi (Georgia, Tbilisi)
"any htc phone is a threatto the iphone 3g, because iphones don't do mms! had my touch a while and i'm very pleased"
peter (uk)
"touch pro is better , but screen size is very small and no 3,5mm audio jack
hd - 5 mpixel - no flash ,,
no d pad
no tv-out
really confused to choose, hd or pro
"
vetri (India)
"although it is really has many features but i still see a real value of BlackBerry Bold 9000 as well as the new BlackBerry Curve 8900. i hate windows for many bugs as all of us know. also i see the following Cons: - it is no finger friendly and access and use of media as well cause of windows mobile problems. - no flash, so shots at night will not be that good. - the build quality is very plasticy and lacks the quality of iPhone or Xperia X1. - No 3,5mm audio jack i have a lot but have no time as well. "
Mike Beshay (Cairo,Egypt)
"A 5MP camera with no flash?!? What's the point of that?"
Chris Watts (Cotswolds, UK)
"WHAT I've been waiting for! But...not available in the US. Hopefully with a few changes,3g,tv-out,slide out key board they will bring this to the US. If they dare. This would Blow the I-thing out of the water! I love the larger screen and being a little thicker wouldn't bother me with a key board!"
Daniel (USA_Ohio)
"I completly agree i have been using a O2 Atom Exec for the past 3 or 4 years and have been waiting for something to come out that i can warrant upgrading to and i think i have finaly found it know all i have to do is put up with O2 until this phone is released in Aus can't wait"
natwim (Australia)
"Getting my HTC Touch HD as soon as the courier arrives sometime today screen is freaky awesome.
Had an SE X1 until yesterday did'nt like it that much."
A.L.I.E.N.L.I.F.E (Out Of This World)
""I have been waiting too for this phone which is expected to release next month in Dubai. i had a comparison of this with iphone 3g and i can say it with my eyes closed that HTC touch HD is far far better than iphone. as others review too states the same." come on baby...bring it on!!!"
ABHILASH (DUBAI)
"Great piece of device! Screen is wonderful and easy to access to multiple email account. A leap from my old kaiser!
As other testimonials said, Clove provides prompt and fast service - I managed to curb my itch for THD in just couple of days from order placement."
Ed (Spore)
"SE X1 or HTC Touch Pro? Really I don't know how to choose...
Anyone help me!"
Ken (China)
"Have had this phone for a few months now. Great device with all the functions you need and good battery life. I can connect my laptop to it for 3G Internet access. It synchronizes realtime to my SnelBij.nl server (keeps all my contacts, mails, tasks and appointments in sync). I enjoy using the SureType (so-called "compact qwerty) keyboard for messaging. This phone has improved the Windows Mobile experience with the TouchFlo interface. The screen is great, allows me to read my messages and reply-on-the-fly. I tried an improved interface (xda-developers), but reverted back to the original ROM. This is a VERY stable and trustworthy device. "
Benjamin (Amsterdam)
"Great phone, I'm on Orange Network and had to work hard at getting this phone discounted as an upgrade and I'll tell you what, I've had a right result!!!"
Steve (London, UK)
"Got the phone a few days back from Clove. Amazing piece of gadget, a masterpiece! No doubt a step above iPhone!"
Dr. Tapan Ghosh (India)
"amazing phoneee ."
mahmod (hd)
"Amazing phone, has all that one needs in terms of business, media and personal productivity."
Azmi (Saudi Arabia)
"I like it. There`s no competitor`s. I buy it. But i distressed - no official sales in Russia. In place of Touch HD we have HTC Yota T8290(4G) - really freak."
Alex (Russia)
"I was going to buy the HTC TOUCH PRO , now this is the BEST HTC phone HTC HAS EVER MADE!!
I will get it!!
I hope they dont make another better phone in the next few months , they should wait about 1 year!"
Joey Maggs (UK)
"Excellent device! Switched from iMate to Nokia Communicator to iPhone to this Touch HD. Feel like I've come home. Brilliant interface, great features (including cut and paste! Yes, iPhone, I'm talking to you!). All the best aspects of windows mobile with practically none of the pain we'd become accustomed to. Sweet!"
Victor (Lagos, Nigeria)
"Finally what I want! you can't compare this to the iPhone 3G.. lol..won't be fair to the iPhone.
this is a perfect choise for Trendsetters."
Waleed (Egypt)
"I got the htc touch hd a couple of week's ago and I think it I the best phone I've ever had I had the nokia 5800 express and there is no comparison thehtc touch hd has blown all other smartphones out of the water come on world you should buy one "
ray (england)
"The best touch cell phone on the market currently. I've been looking for this for so long and finally I just decided.
I hope the price will reduce during Christmas season and READY to buy the product. Thanks all HTC developers which worked so hard on this particularly model HTC touch HD."
PETER (Bay Area, CALIFORNIA)
"Absolutely Awesome phone. Friends have iphone and Nokia N97, but this HTC Touch HD beats them hands down. Just be careful of the sensative touch screen until you are used to it."
Dave (UK)
"most brilliant HTC to date. its my third HTC in 18 months and enjoying this one more then ever. Do feel it requires a stronger battery but its technolgy is very clever compared to the HTC titan II. you do not no what u will miss if you do not get this fine, always remember to get phone protection ;) get ure case and screen gaurd and enjoy the best phone in production at the moment, PS looking forward to the HTC 4G phone thats going to be relesed soon"
peter (London)
"It is exactly what i was looking for last 5-6 years. that is bigger screen, high resolution, real internet browsing, copying files or downloading movies directly from internet, fm & am radio, etc. all (except am radio) I am getting from the new "htc touch hd". I have bought an iphone 3 weeks ago and found that i can not copying files or download movies directly from internet and it does not have fm radio which is really a pity. As i am living in sydney, Australia, so, I have to wait a bit for the htc touch hd. Not the iphone, htc touch hd is the revolutionary invention as a mobile as well as an internet device."
mojiburbabu (sydney, australia)
"It is an impressive sound device which I too have been waiting for for some years - the large PDA-sized display being one key factor.
It sounds like a winner, I just hope it will be reliable with so much that could go wrong on it.
"
Lorentz (London)
"Great phone, I wish 3G worked in the USA.. I have tmobile so it doesnt matter!"
Mikey (Houston)
"No phone can beat HTC HD. it is the best ever iseen . just go 4 it"
Sulaiman (Riyadh-Suadi Arabia)
"Boss, the phone is absolutely thumbs up. I have been using a cheap Chinese handset for some time and the phone I need now is the HTC Touch HD. Whatever the price. Period."
Ashutosh (Guwahati, India)
"A great device with one BIG screen.
Delivery was very fast, didn't expect so ;-) well done clove, you have secured a returning customer :-)"
Jamleeeeeee (Bahrain)
"I think you all are missing the point. The spec of the HD very promising however with all thses extra touches such as 7.2 download speeds and proper internet browsing how will it fair with out a pull out keyboard?. Iv had the dimond and with out the pull out keyboard the htc dimond suffers on inputing data and navigating at speed. Lets hope they get the touch technoloy right."
kam shergill (UK)
"this sounds like a real threat to the Iphone 3G.
i am considering this or the xperia x1.
can't wait to see it"
Hend (Egypt)
"I like it. There`s no competitor`s. I buy it. But i distressed - no official sales in Russia. In place of Touch HD we have HTC Yota T8290(4G) - really freak."
Alex (Russia)
"HD is my first experience with windows mobile. Man it's awesome. the screen is amazing.
Highly recommended"
Mohsen (Saudi Arabia)
"Finally one device that does all phone,gps,pda,camera,etc "
Wayne (UK)
"heck yea, i do not care about the cost.....i have the TOUCH VOGUE, DIAMOND, and TOUCH PRO..........this phone is mine and i do not care if i am on sprint, i will buy an At&t plan if i have to, just so i can use this phone lol"
red (Texas)
""best phone ever, but it needs flash and a connection for a neck strap. the price is excellent i just wish i could afford it.""
Micah (Manchester)
"yes all should to Believe HD is a real king of all phone's @ d world ....HTC = always beast technology n quality dvice's"
ali (dubai)
"Very,very cool. I happy"
Maksim (Russia)
"I am getting this very soon. I have friends with the bro the blackberry and the iphone none of which can surpass this phone, the only phone with a chance is the pro. I have to say people have got to stop comparing this to the iphone yes the htc touch hd is better but you may aswell compare it to any other phone if you are going to compare it 10/10 great phone"
alex (nottinghamshire, UK)
"i love touch hd
price is almost same if u compare with i-phone 3g,,but if u compare the specifications i-phone is nothing in front of touch hd
good job HTC"
jassy (dubai)
"iphone is nothing compare to the htc touch hd.
I think (htc touch hd & xperia x1) are the best pocket pcs ever"
Abdul (Saudi Arabia)
"excellent features with a nice big screen 3.8 and VGA one . But there are some missing features like TV-Out , D-pad ,flash and better battery life ."
Tiger (Canada)
"This is my first time to get this kind of phone, i was not totally convinced about the IPOD, for me its only hype.But the HTC touch HD totally convinced me after checking the specs of this phone. It really rival the Iphone, but for me it exceed the Iphone."
Ross (Philippines)
"Bring it on baby. I will buy mine from Europe since they will not officially sell in the US."
Dr. Z (Washington DC)
"Just received the phone yesterday, it's amazing. I had the iphone before, this one's more professional, far less restrained than the iphone. Totally cool device. Data input is very responsive and with a little practice you'd be typing quickly in no time. All in all, iphone is a child's play compared to the HD. This is the real device for power users."
Sting (KSA)
