First published by me over at Tech@Play and also added to the HD2 thread over at MobilitySite.com - re-published here on my Blog also...
"I decided to have a look at both my old iPhone 3G and my new HTC HD2 and compare some of the functions that they have and give my personal view on what I like. The iPhone is running OS 3.1.3 and is not Jail broken, the HD2 is running Sense 2.5 on stock rom 1.66 (WWE) it has only one tweak Co0kies Home Tab.
Background: For all of 2009 I was using the iPhone 3G, the last time I used a WinMo touch screen device was my old Dell Axim X51v (Non-Phone) and my Apache (PPC-6700) in 2008. Now this is my PERSONAL view so take it as it is... enjoy.
LOCK SCREEN
Lock Sceen
As you can see the lock screens have similar information like the – Time, Date, Battery Indicator, Network, and unlock system. Now the HD2 has three very important differences that I love (^)
HTC HD2 (16GB microSD)
1. Time, Date, Battery Indicator, Network, and unlock system
2. Calendar info on lock screen^
3. Slider moves left and right giving better one handed operation ^
4. Notification alerts via unlock button – tap shows alert – swipe left or right opens application.^
iPhone 3G 16GB Black
1. Time, Date, Battery Indicator, Network, and unlock system
2. No Calendar info
3. Slider only moves left to right
4. Notification pop-up, once unlocked have to navigate to application manually
For me the HD2 wins this round, just with the Calender info and the ability to go straight to application via notification is a big one for me.
HTC HD2: 1
iPhone 3G: 0
