HTC Touch HD

Without a dedicated camera key, the HD uses an onscreen button for a shutter release. There are a few settings like – Widescreen, White balance and flicker adjustment available. The settings layout is simple and easy to access. However, on the whole, although the images looked pretty good, in normal conditions, low light images really required an extremely steady hand as the sensor was very very slow.

It has no macro mode setting but you can still get pretty close to subjects.

The same issue also prevailed in video mode so videos also ended up looking quite sluggish.

Battery
The HTC HD’s battery will provide about two days with normal usage. This would include – a few calls and messages, emails, music and net time. Add videos and camera to the mix and having your mails automatically downloaded instead of manually, with a little GPS usage and the time will crash down to just a little short of a day and a half. It wasn’t impressive, just adequate.

The Bottom Line
The large display is the only feature that actually makes the handset’s interface look and feel a little better, but even that had its quirks. None of the handset's other relevant features except for the radio and music player are worth talking about and neither is  the utter disappointment in its video viewing capability. With neither GPS software provided nor a bundled microSD memory card, not enough internal memory (512MB) and the lack of  proper screen rotation, the answer to the initial question is – NO. The HTC touch HD is definitely not worth its Rs. 42,990 pricing. Not by a long shot.
