HTC HD2 - Pocketnow Throwback

The HD2 is used in current Stroke ads for NHS UK...that's nostalgia right there!

[FKARafael]

And now this retro review is 10yrs old

[james]

I remember getting this phone and people were like you don't need a screen that big, then I got the HTC Titan and I was told the same thing 😂😂 miss the old days of phones.

[samehmhamdi]

This is a throwback of a throwback of a throwback

[bankrow]

I remember how HUGE this phone looked back in the day. Still, timeless design tho

[Pocketnow]

Watch nostalgic throwback review of the HTC HD2!

[ddave]

the first HTC I ever owned. I'm on the ONE now and am looking at the 816. best phones I ever had. great OS and robust

[NOTTODAY]

The HTC HD2 is like the Toyota Supra, a well sought after car that still catches the eyes the of car enthusiasts. I'm baffled by the fact that the phone can run Android 4.4 Kit Kat.

[sonicblast]

It's funny how the HD2 was so open to devs and now HTC's phones can't even run apps from the SD card

[NeroVingian]

I had experience using this device for a few days (my friend asked me to fix it for her), and I gotta say, I was very jealous of the era you guys live in (this was actually the first time I get to know the device). A truly awesome device. Hats off to all the devs that puts all their efforts on this.

[Aomicplane]

I still use a HTC HD2 everyday with android, and when i saw this video released i was so glad you guys give a look back at the HTC HD2, probably one of the most break through legendary phones created :)

[FernandoCintron]

Mr mobile looks older in this video than he does now

[Relatyvity]

I'm still using this phone as a primary device with KitKat 4.4.4 and damn, it's still a phone, six years later... I can use for almost everithing that my friend can do with his note 3. Ok i cannot really play today's games on it, but other than that, it's fully functional. Still waiting for the windows XP to be bootable on it :D

[genoh]

The HTC HD2 was truly groundbreaking, I remember the awe I felt when I first unboxed mine. I absolutely love that phone, as it was in many ways a springboard for what we are experiencing today on Android and Windows Mobile flagships.

[MsEady]

This was ny favorite smartphone ever. When I got the HTC One, it reminded me of the HTC HD2. This is why I love HTC.

[amir.rodz]

Never forgot how well built and nice the HD2 felt.  I had running Android 2.3 when I decided to sell it. Great device.

[ChrisWinger]

The HD2 rommed and the original Note ate my two favorite phones ever. I loved them when I used them!

[Pocketnow]

ICYMI: a bit of Throwback love for your #tbthursday : we take a second look at the #HD2  after four years! #tbt

This video has been weirdly inspirational

I so wanted this phone back in the day. Large display and sleek looks.
Ended up buying Motorola Droid.
