This Desire Baby In HD
Why my lack of angsty posts lately, I hear you ask? Well, let me introduce my brand new baby, the HTC Desire HD.
I got it about two weeks ago, and the Martin Fields screen protector has already been applied to the phone, though you can’t see it because it’s the awesome powers of a Martin Fields screen protector at work.
Right, description about the photo clockwise…top-left is the main page. I changed the background from that really colorful default looking background to a more subtle-toned so as to not hurt my eyes too much. There’s a bar in the middle there and I don’t know what the middle icon is for. The ugly-pink bar is just covering some sensitive information. Don’t think too much of it…
Top-right features one of the “side-screen”. I call that my music screen for incredibly obvious reasons. I like the fact that the bottom bar which contains links to all your applications, phone application and personalization settings are there in ANY screen. Just as I was taking the picture, my dad sends me a message so, pink bar to cover sensitive information, as per usual.
Bottom-right is the back. The usual culprit makes it’s appearance (camera, flash, loudspeaker). The black panel on the side is where the battery pack is (I’m 99% sure) and let me assure you, it is a real bitch to remove the panel to access the battery. I literally had to PRY the panel away using my fingernails until I thought something would snap. Nothing snapped…except my heartbeat stop for a moment when I thought I went too far and broke something.
Bottom-left is the landscape keypad layout. I find this way much easier to txt/email than the squished version when using the phone normally. But even in landscape, I’m still having some difficulty getting used to touch-screen typing. I’m afraid to say it…but this baby is too sensitive sometimes…*ducks flying knives and pitchforks*
One thing that is a bit weird I thought is the lack of video-calling capabilities (re: lacking camera on the front). My old Sony Ericsson K800i had that feature, why couldn’t the Desire HD have it? It’s no biggie but I just thought it was weird. On the other hand, if the Desire HD does have this capability, can someone let me know where I can find this?
OK, this entry took me two hours and it’s now 23:59, Sir Awesome here, signing out!
