HTC Touch HD2 Review

[papped]

Most phones use data polling. They constantly ask the server what's new for anything (IM chat, facebook notifications, email, etc). This kills the battery since they keep having to open network connections and find out what's new at a certain interval.

Blackberries support push for a lot of apps. The server tells the phone when something is new, uses a lot less battery. Not to mention blackberry data is compressed, so it transfers less data.

OMG Papped, is that a pre i see lol you are a brave man. Samsung Moment you have entered in territories i wouldn't dare j/k. The pre isn't bad its just the hardware thats horrible and yeah battery life is be gonna **** for you, i'm surprised you can type on the keyboard. The OS i love but the hardware they need to overhaul before i even consider going back to Palm. The TP2 you should be able to get for $199 from Sprint not sure how much you got the pre for though as they are going dirt cheap nowadays.

yeah I actually type ok surprisingly... The hardware does feel a bit cheap, but the screen is great and really liking the os and software so far.

Pondering the seidio 2600mah battery to fix the battery life issue. Increased size is acceptable since the device is pretty small to begin with.

I would advise that you check out the phone yourself. Reviewers have their own opinions, but you may not share them. Also, reviewers may have their own agenda. To be on the safe side, see for yourself.
