Folks at mobile-review have published a massive review of the HTC TOUCH HD. They seem to have really liked the device. Here is what they have to say about the device.

We never experienced any problems with the HTC Touch HD’s cellular module – the reception quality was okay, and the earpiece was just loud enough to make for audible calls in just about any environment, although it got nearly impossible to deal with at the top volume settings. The loudspeaker found in the HD is a tad louder than that of the Diamond or Touch Pro. Despite being housed in a cumbersome casing, the Touch HD sports a sharp vibro alert that will get through to you even if you put the phone in a shoulder bag.

Retailing for around 600 Euro, the Touch HD will be a fairly interesting offering in Europe – we doubt that its dazzling display will go unnoticed. On top of that, being only 100-150 Euro more expensive than the Touch Diamond, it comes with a handful of enhancements, such as 3.5 mm audio jack and 5 Mpix camera. Clearly, it’s not a mainstream phone, but not a cumbersome and barely usable powerhouse either. Continue…

Folks at GSMareana have done a complete review of HTC TOUCH HD and they conclude that:

The HTC Touch HD is guaranteed to change the way people think of Windows Mobile. It is a bold and confident step, taking full advantage of all the hardware and software strengths and a worthy effort of addressing the weaknesses.

There are still quite a number of performance issues but the problems of Windows OS are far too deep to disappear overnight. Still, if modding and tweaking is your game, you can fix quite a lot of the issues that come out of the box.

Folks at Gadgetmix.com have done a nice, informative review of HTC Touch HD. According to the reviewer, harvsingh, it is the best windows mobile ever.

“Undoubtedly, it is the most advanced Windows Mobile handset I’ve ever used. The big, high-resolution display provides great internet experience thanks to the wonderful Opera Browser. TouchFlo 3D adds to it’s “wow factor”. The sensitivity of the screen is great; sound quality is great and has one of the best GSM modules I’ve come across in the windows mobile arena.”
