HTC HD2 Launched In Malaysia

HTC launched its flagship phone, the Windows Mobile 6.5 based HD2 in Malaysia today, a well attended event by members of the media. It was held in Sri Hartamas, with Joanne Kam Po Po as the emcee, along with performances by a female-impersonator group. The retail price of the HD2 is RM 2,899, with the standard retail package inclusive of an 8Gb microSD card. It should be available in time for the PC Fair, perhaps as early as the end of November, if all goes well. Below are some pictures I took at the event; there are more pictures on my Twitter feed if you feel so inclined to check them out. There's a size comparison picture with the SonyEricsson Symbian based Satio smartphone, and the Satio looks positively puny by comparison! In case you've forgotten, here are the HD2's specifications, again. And hey, I've been accused of stealing someone's invitation card to post on this site! And maybe I printed it out to get in to the event too! Just goes to show you that some people are full of shit themselves, eh? Maybe we should wait for him to do a review of the HD2 then, I'll just sit back and relax! And please excuse any unintentional errors; I consumed a little alcohol at the event and may not be thinking properly...hic! Processor
