Yesterday we told you about the extended battery, car kit and the capacitive stylus for the HTC HD2. Well today the first images of the stylus surface on the web.
Russian site YouHTC seem to have been the first to get their hands on photos but other sites also have the photos now. We’ll post more photos as we get them.
According to WMPoweruser the stylus will cost £17.25. Apparently the end of the stylus is transparent so you can see though it but with a red dot to indicate where it is being pressed. It’s also curved at the bottom.

The HTC HD2 has been a bit hard to get since its initial launch but the good news is that its back.
devicewire.com gave us the good news this afternoon so if you are after the HD2 now is the time to snap one up.
From devicewire.com its £499.00 delivered, which sounds a bargain if you ask me. If you do get one please follow the HD2 on our forum and let us know your thoughts.

SuperETrader today gave us a little tip the the Motorola Milestone may well be here sooner than we thought!
The Milestone is the European name for the Droid which has been available in the USA on the Verizon network for a little while. For some strange reason this nice looking Android device will get some extra spec in Europe though!
The major difference is that the our version will support multi touch which is fantastic news. I have no idea why we are getting it and the Verizon Droid does not.
The other noticeable change is that the U.S version is running the beta of Google maps navigation. We will not get this but it has been replaced with Motonav instead. Once Google maps navigation is out of beta I hope we will be eligible for the upgrade.
Keep an eye on the site for updates.

You can now get your hands on the much talked about HTC HD2 on T-Mobile.
Prices on T-Mobile range from free to £195.73 but in order to qualify for a free handset you must be prepared to shell out £40.00 per month. You also have the option of having the package come with or without data if you fancy saving yourself £5.00 per month, but i cant see many people taking up that tariff!
What is quite impressive though is that the fair use policy for data currently stands at 1GB which is even more than Orange are now including with the iPhone.
Lets hope the other network providers follow suit.
A while ago when the HD2 was leaked as coming to T-Mobile I believe it was going to be called the Touch HD2. They have clearly scrapped that idea!
If you want to order a T-Mobile HTC HD2 you can order from here.

Our friend Mickey Papillon who runs thecellphonejunckie.com recently got his hands on the latest offering from Palm, the Pixi.
The device, which is only available in the USA at the moment, takes on Palms more traditional form factor of having a front facing QWERTY keypad.
The Pixi is the second device from Palm sporting their new operating system, Web OS, which seems to be going down a storm on the Palm Pre.
As I don’t expect to get the Palm Pixi over here in the UK anytime soon please check out Mickey’s review here, and while your at it you may as well have a listen to his podcast too.

I just received an email from O2 stating the HTC HD2 should be in store today!
O2 is pleased to announce that the HTC HD2 will be on sale in-store today, bringing the eagerly awaited handset to the home of smart phones. Available from free on O2 Pay Monthly, the HD2 packs in a massive 4.3-inch touch screen, fast processor and camera with LED flash into a package just 11mm thick and weighing in at 157 grams.
“The HTC HD2 is the first HTC branded phone to be sold on O2. We love the large screen and combination of Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense,” said Steve Alder, General Manager Devices for O2 in the UK. “We are proud to be the home of smart phones and the HTC HD2 adds a new dimension to the range of devices we offer to our customers.”
Jon French, Executive Director UK & IE, HTC, said, “The close partnership between HTC and Microsoft means we are able to bring HTC Sense, a customer experience which makes the phone work in a more simple, natural and personal way, to a Windows phone for the first time with the HD2. With one of the largest screens in the market, the powerful and ultra-thin HD2 offers users an amazing mobile experience.”
The HTC HD2 is powered by a 1Ghz processor and has built in Wi-Fi, GPS, and FM radio. It has YouTube, Facebook and Twitter integration and a MicroSD card slot for expandable memory, as well as a standard 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth and microUSB charging port.
The HTC HD2 will be available in-store and over the phone. To find your nearest O2 retail store, visit http://www.o2.co.uk/shop/retailstores.
I have requested a review device from O2 so we can see if they have implemented any changes to the handset. Obviously we will let you know when we have tested the device.

Has the HTC HD2 got an SMS bug?
On a previous post, forum user chriscamplejohn mentioned that his text messages were being delivered hours after being sent.
I too had a similar problem with our review device but I presumed it was a network problem. As chriscamplejohn is using Vodafone and I use Orange this is either a hardware problem or a strange coincidence. We’ve heard similar stories from T-Mobile customers too.
Not it does seem odd for so many people to be reporting this but personally I cant see how this can be caused by the handset itself. Can anyone offer any insight?
If anyone else has experienced similar problems with the HD2 we would love to hear form you!

If you read our HTC HD2 review last week you may recall that James mentioned some issues with the camera in our review device, he noticed a purple-ish halo or ‘pink splodge’ in the middle area of the photos.
At the time neither James nor I took much notice of this, putting it down to odd lighting conditions rather than a specific camera issue. However, there are more reports coming in from other users about the camera quality issues and now even HTC have confirmed that this is indeed a caused by a hardware fault and as such can only be resolved by repairing/replacing the handset itself.
Dear valued HTC customer, Thank you for your enquiry about your handset. This is a hardware issue and you can contact your re-seller to exchange the device for another one or contact us and we will send this device to be repair. If these steps have not helped, please let me know by responding using the link provided and I will be happy to check again for you.
Shame to hear that this is an issue that comes right on the back of many reported problems with battery life. Again, if you are experience either of these problems please post on the forum and left us know!
