8. Experience HTC Sense

HTC HD2 is the first Windows Mobile® phone to embody HTC Sense™, a holistic experience based on three core principles — make it mine, stay close, and discover the unexpected.

Make it mine

Personalized Home screen

See the time and weather of your current location on the weather clock of the Home screen. The Home screen also displays your upcoming appointment. Tap the respective item when you want to change the weather clock to display another location, update the weather information, or access the Calendar.

Essential features that you commonly use, such as People, Messages, Mail, Internet, and more, are readily accessed up front on the Home screen. The tabs at the bottom of the Home screen correspond to the different phone features. Simply press and hold the active tab and then slide your finger right or left to the feature you want to use. You can also directly tap a tab.

You can also personalize the Home screen with an animated or picture wallpaper (by tapping Menu > Home Wallpaper), rearrange the tabs, as well as add quick links to people who matter most to you, your favorite websites, and applications.

12 Quick Start Guide

Stay close

It’s all about people

Bringing people who matter most closer to you – that’s what your phone is all about.

Put people you keep in touch with often up front on your Home screen’s People tab. Simply tap the photo of a contact to quickly place a call or create a new message to send to this contact.

Since your phone organizes text and multimedia messages, email conversations, and phone logs of a contact all in one place, you get to see at a glance all communications with that person. Your phone also keeps you in tune with your social circles by seamlessly integrating Facebook information into the personal details of your stored contacts. You can instantly see what they’re doing and know whether they have new photos or other updates. More importantly, you are well informed about their birthday and other important events.

Quick Start Guide 13

Text messages Email

Calls Facebook updates and events

Sending messages to multiple contacts is made easier, too. Slide to the Groups tab and create a group of selected contacts so you can easily send a text, multimedia, or email message to the group without having to add the addressed contacts to your message one by one.

14 Quick Start Guide

Social networking

Enjoy twittering directly from your phone.

With the phone’s high-resolution camera, you can take a photo and immediately upload it to your Facebook album. While twittering, you can also send a photo with your tweet message. What’s more, you can capture a video and share it on YouTube. See “Share Photos and Videos on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube” in this guide for details.

Discover the unexpected

Smart Dial

Your phone also makes it quick and easy to go from reading a text, multimedia or email message to calling the sender (if the sender’s phone number is stored in your contacts). While viewing the message, press the TALK/SEND button to call the sender.
