Powered by Windows Mobile 6.5, the HD2 blends cutting-edge technology and stylish looks to deliver a smooth and superior experience to the customers”, said Mr Ajay Sharma, country head, HTC India.
The new HTC Windows phone packs inside a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which enables enhanced performance, faster applications, as well as a great viewing of videos and games on its large display, not to mention a faster and more accurate typing. Moreover, it provides impressive email capabilities, with support for Microsoft Exchange, as well as access to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile and to the MyPhone service from Microsoft.
The handset arrives in India along with an exclusive offer from TATA DOCOMO.
