There are loads of people complaining the iPhone is too large - so how many more are going to complain the HD2 is 6mm taller and wider than the iPhone, and bearing in mind that the back of the iPhone is significantly more curved the feel in the hand will make it appear even slimmer than the HD2. |
I don't mind its size. Love browsing on my iPod Touch and my HTC Hero. I recall I once had HP IPaq 4700. This was 131 x 77 x 14.9mm. Bigger than the iPhone and HTC HD2. The 4700 did occassionally cause me to get stiffness in my hands after long periods, but the size was fine.
Personally I can't wait for the HTC HD2 but I am also keen to see what Android 2.0 devices surface with similar hardware specs. And then, does Apple have something amazing up its sleeve. Doubt it.
