Hardware, speed

The operating system is of course the latest edition of Windows Mobile Professional, namely version 6.1. The hardware is rather robust, the PDA’s heart is a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU, RAM is 288 MB large, while we have 512 MB of ROM, and we have 288 MB free for storing data and 127 MB for running programs. No matter the expandability and SDHC support, I would still have been happy with a 4 GB flash memory. I think this has been omitted for marketing reasons, as on one hand they couldn’t sell a successor that has it and on the other hand it would make the handset almost perfect, and manufacturers never do such a thing. It’s funny, but it’s true.

After turning the handset on I have sadly noted that the user interface is the black TouchFLO 3D, so it’s the same as on Diamond, and we don’t have the blue edition from Viva that has fewer animations, but it’s much faster. Still, after a couple of seconds I have been surprised, as HD is very fast, much faster than Diamond and in all aspects, as programs launch lightning fast as well. Scrolling seems great as well, it’s still not as good as on iPhone, but it’s much more than being simply usable.

The table below has the Pocket PC Mark benchmark results. Unfortunately VsBenchmark didn’t run, th reason for this is the wide (or longish) display. Yeah, unfortunately this means some software compatibility issues, applications with a Windows interface have no problems, but those that have a separate GUI (this means games) don’t really like this resolution.

CPU and memory scores are about the same as on the predecessor, but the file system is much faster. The graphical test result is just a tiny bit worse than on Diamond, so this part is okay as well. I would like to note it however that Touch 3G with a QVGA display is faster than HD, but not as much faster as less pixels it has. On the whole I am very satisfied, the test results are a realistic image of HD’s speed.
