    HTC Touch HD2 vs Motorola Droid

    I'm thinking to upgrade my phone in the next few months and I narrowed my desire to these two puppies. Hard to chose, they're both magnificent pieces of gadgetry, but what makes them so different is the OS. My choice is not that much about the phones, they're both great, but rather a WM vs Android decision to make. In fact, the two will be the smartphone flagships for Microsoft and Google, so they better be good! This might be the last chance for Moto, while M$ is losing market share to iphony like there's no tomorrow.
    The HD2 will be available in UK starting mid November ($840 delivered here), the Motorola, who knows... Could be another 3 months at least.

    What to do?

    check out this baby... was playing with one last night, a real iphone killer IMO:

    Samsung Omnia i8910 HD

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    HTC HD2
    Type TFT capacitive touchscreen, 65K colors Size 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches

    Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2

    Type TFT resistive touchscreen, 65K colors Size 800 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches

    Let's look at the CPUs:
    Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor vs Qualcomm MSM 7200 528 MHz processor

    No contest here IMHO.

    To be honest, my ideal phone right now would be the HD2 running Android 2.0 Click here to enlarge

    WM 6.5 is nothing to be "impressed" about IMO. I saw it running at a Windows 7 launch conference and I had it running on my XPERIA X1.

    I wasn't too impressed. If you have a look at xda-developers.com, most will tell you it's just a UI redesign - the backend and code is much the same as WM 6.1.

    Oh well, I went against your advice guys... Sorry, but I simply hate waiting any longer for what there might be on the market in a few months.
    I want my toy now, damn it! An hour ago I ordered the epic 4.3" screen, Snapdragon powered HD2, in UK. It cost me about $860 DHL delivered and should get here around mid November. Let's see what she can do with all those bells and whistles Click here to enlarge
