First official HTC Leo / HD2 review

Seeing how Norway is more east that here, its no surprise the HTC HD2 aka HTC Leo has been officially announced there, rather than anywhere else.

Norwegian site ITavisen has published their first review of the device.  They note, despite it being a WM 6.5 device, HTC’s TouchFlo3D dominates the UI. They mention the device is fast and powerful, with only “ little mincing or lugging to track down as we scroll through the menus.”

They found the device finger-friendly and found the Windows Mobile 6.5 experience “less painful” than usual.  They did not however test the new services that come with the updated OS.

Calling the device “really impressive”, they expect it to become available in Norway at around 5000 NOK (around $880) in early November.
