A superb well designed & well made phone with an exceptionally clear & useable display. It easily doubles as a PDA, something which no other Smartphone does without compromise. With Windows Mobile operating system it can easily use other developers programmes, one of the recommended PIM applications makes it even easier to use.
Battery life is much better than the HTC Touch Diamond. It's a pity there aren't up & down keys or a scroll wheel which would make the phone slightly easier to use & less reliant on touch screen operation. However this is without doubt an excellent phone for all round business use but not recommended to someone who just wants a phone.
It pairs easily with the Bluetooth phone system in my car, & syncs with Microsoft outlook on the PC.
The Touch Flo 3D HTC interface looks pretty but, although quicker to use than other recent HTC phones, it is still too clunky & I much prefer to disable it (easily done).
This phone is well recommended.

I was due an upgrade at the end of October & struggled as to whether I should go for the much hyped iPhone 3G or one of its touch phone rivals! In the end I decided that the lack of stereo Bluetooth, MMS, video recording & a basic 2MP camera were enough of a reason to throw away the apple & I opted for the Omnia! Two Omnia handsets later (both had problems with the accelerometer & screen visibility was pretty much zero outdoors) I found myself leaning back towards the iPhone, until I heard about the HTC Touch HD. & I am glad I waited!
I have only had the phone since yesterday but so far I am very impressed! 3.8 inch screen, brilliant resolution, the touch flow 3d system is easy to use & does well to pretty much hide the windows OS for all basic functions. The touch screen is also more responsive than the Omnia (although not quite the same standard as the iPhone) but it is very easy to use without having to reach for the stylus (which is built into the phone rather than hanging by its side. Take note Samsung).
I imagine I may find some flaws as I continue to use this phone as nothing in this world is perfect but initial impressions are very promising! It would be even better if it could run Google android.
