Great battery life
The music player allows you to view album art and sorts your tracks in the usual way, but this time, thankfully, there's a 3.5mm jack plug so you can replace the deeply average supplied ones. There's an FM radio on board too with 20 presets for your favourite channels.
Battery life was impressive for such a highly specced phone giving us two days of average use, though as with all Windows Mobile devices you can also stretch this by switching off non-essential apps and reducing the screen's brightness.
Other devices might offer better cameras, and better data input facilities (there's only an on-screen keyboard) and even fit better in the pocket, but all-in-all, and while the first generation Android device comes very close, the HTC Touch HD is the best alternative iPhone we've yet seen.
