Wireless carrier T-Mobile USA and Taiwanese handset vendor HTC announced at the beginning of the ongoing year that the high-end HTC HD2 mobile phone was set to be released on the operator's airwaves during spring, and now they unveiled a few more details on what the handset would come around with. The HTC HD2 is based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, sports a large touchscreen display, and will arrive on the market in the US with access to millions of eBooks, movies, television programs and more. The HTC HD2 is a slim device that boasts a 4.3-inch capacitive touch display, a 1GHz Snapdragon by Qualcomm processor, 3G connectivity options, HTC's Sense solution, GPS functionality with turn-by-turn navigation from TeleNav GPS Navigator, a 5-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus and LED flash, and a great deal of entertainment features. Moreover, the phone is also set to offer users access to a complete entertainment package that includes pre-loaded content and applications.

The main entertainment features of HTC HD2 include: - Barnes & Noble eReader application puts the world’s largest eBookstore in your hand with access to more than a million eBooks, newspapers, magazines and your Barnes & Noble digital library everywhere you go. Enjoy reading on the largest screen available for eReader smartphone software. - BLOCKBUSTER on Demand application is for discovering and downloading the hottest new releases on the go. Blockbuster’s first-ever video download application on a smartphone allows consumers to buy a movie on one device and watch on another connected device through Blockbuster’s library. - MobiTV mobile application offers consumers access to live and on-demand TV on their phone — including news, sports and entertainment. Favorite channels such as MTV, NBC, COMEDY CENTRAL, ESPN and more are available for HTC HD2 consumers to watch at home or away.

The new HTC HD2 will also come with a 16GB microSD memory card included in the package, and will be exclusively available from T-Mobile in the United States. According to the carrier, the handset should prove one of the most powerful solutions that it launches on the market, and the ultrafast 1GHz processor, coupled with the crisp, vivid 4.3-inch screen in HD2 sustain this saying. Not to mention the new entertainment features the handset has been packed with.
