(More customer reviews)I really wasn't impressed with the windows7 phone so I looked around for something with 6.5. come to find out... both hd2 and w7 have the same hardware specs except for w7 has a physical camera button. Even though the hd2 is widely known as one of the best and most customizable windows phones... it doesn't come without a few problems. First of all, you have to make sure your ROM is up to date (which t-mobile has on their site). When it first came out in the U.S. it was buggy. Even after having an updated ROM... I had to download 3rd party software to fix the call quality, the 3g came on all by itself after switching it off so I had to find software to stop that, I downloaded a more accurate battery life indicator, and I also found software to switch the on screen unlock slider to the bottom of the screen instead of the top. I didn't know it had all these little annoyances until after I bought it. But like I said... it's a highly customizable phone. All the software fixes from the net were free too. So, even though it was a pain at first...with a few little tweaks, it's actually a great phone. I did have to buy an HTC HD2 brand extended battery from ebay (with the metal kick stand in the back) because the original battery didn't last long (maybe 2 days with moderate use). I am not a really heavy user on my phone so I can get about 4 or 5 days on one charge with moderate to mid range use on the extended battery. Do not get a cheap no name extended battery, they do not tell you the accurate battery life. At some point, you have to take it out and put it back in to reboot your phone so you can get the other 50% battery life to work. The 3g is shut off unless I need to use it, and I make sure the task manager is clear of all programs running in the back ground. After all that, was it worth my time and money? Yes. I do really like this phone. One of the best I've owned. It was actually fun customizing it since I'm such a tech geek. I would say that if you don't mind having to customize it, it'll be a great phone for you too.
