Along with the Desire Z, I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the only other engineering unit of the HTC Desire HD they had and as usual we took photos and captured some videos to share.

The Desire HD has this gloriously huge and nice touch display screen. The Super LCD did not disappoint and I wasn’t even able to spot the difference between that and the AMOLED display of the original Desire. It’s still crisp and bright — not anywhere near the low-res display of the Wildfire’s LCD panel.

For such a large handset, it’s also surprisingly thin (although I think it gives it a thinner impression since the body tapers towards the edges). The large 8MP lens at the back conspicuously protrudes and could be a cause for concern (it could scratch the surface you place it on or actually scratch the lens itself). I think it’s an issue that can be easily remedied with a nice gel case or something similar. Wasn’t able to take test shots since the room was a bit dark.

The touch panel for the controls and menu are etched/printed into the glass panel at the bottom and doesn’t give some sort of feedback use pressed. I’m still biased in favor of the physical buttons on the original Desire though.

As you can see on the video below, the handset is pretty smooth, responsive and snappy. At 4.3″, it’s practically impossible to type on this unit with one hand.

A YugaTech reader living in Dubai is telling me he got one for around Php25k there. However, a cousin who just passed thru Dubai Airport yesterday tells me the price at a Duty Free store is USD$800. My local source gives me an estimate of Php37,000 but don’t worry since we will find out the exact price on November 23′s launching.
