HTC Touch HD: Too Cool for the U.S.
See that awesome-looking HTC handset? That’s the Touch HD. It’s got super-fast 3.5G (European speak for HSDPA) connectivity, with a downlink speed of up to 7.2 Mbps. There’s also a snazzy 480-by-800 pixel, 3.8-inch-wide WVGA display; a 5-megapixel camera; and HTC’s Vibrant TouchFLO 3D interface. Oh, but too bad: If you’re in the U.S., you can’t have one.
Well, that’s not entirely true. There’s no U.S. release scheduled for this phone, because, well, wireless carriers aren’t really into the whole cool-features/high-speed approach to handset sales. Besides, even if one of the carriers did pick up the phone, you wouldn’t be able to use that wicked-fast HSDPA connectivity on its network.
You may, however, be able to pick up this bad boy from a specialty important and use it with AT&T or T-Mobile’s not-so-fast 2G network.
Or you could just move to Europe.
