The HTC HD Mini has been the first Windows Phone that got me some hands-on with Windows Mobile 6.5.3 , a great set of incremental improvements for touch-friendly use.

A summary of the overall conclusion

“The HTC HD Mini is a really nice compact and powerful Windows Phone that has an impressive set of features. It reminds me of the HTC Magician, which was my first converged Windows Mobile device. There are a lot of similarities in terms of software and usability.”

HTC HD Mini is a perfect allround device that gives you a lot of value and power. Remark the Wi-Fi Router application or the special features like: (1) “Lowers ringer volume automatically when you pick up the phone, or raises ringer volume when the phone is in your bag or pocket, or (2) Mutes the ringer when you flip the phone face down;”

“The HTC HD Mini is snappy -really impressed with the Qualcomm MSM7227 at a clock speed of 600 MHz-, very small and HTC has pushed new boundaries in terms of design and craftsmanship. Finally you really get a lot of HTC HD2 for your money, just not the impressive 4.3″ capacitive touch screen.”
