HTC Corp on Thursday launched HTC HD2, a Windows-based phone with HTC Sense feature incorporated into it.

HTC says the new phone is the first to offer capacitive touch display on a Windows platform thereby making viewing, zooming, resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PD documents and pictures much easier.

The phone which makes use of Qualcomm’s SnapDragon 1 GHz processor has a 4.3 inch display.

The company has tied up with Tata DoCoMo whereby the phone will be offered as part of a bundled offer by the operator. Customers will be offered 500 MB of data per month fee for 6 months.

“HTC HD2 is the first Windows phone to embody the HTC Sense user interface, which makes the phone much more intuitive, engaging and a pleasure to use. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.5, the HD2 blends cutting-edge technology and stylish looks to deliver a smooth and superior experience to the customers”, said Mr Ajay Sharma, Country Head, HTC India.

Mr Gurinder Singh Sandhu, Chief Marketing Officer, TATA DOCOMO, said, “TATA DOCOMO is a young brand that recently rolled out GSM services across 15 Circles within a span of five months and has received an enthusiastic response. When we launched our GSM services, we had promised our subscribers that we would bring to them the best products and services. Living up to that brand promise, we are launching the HTC HD2 phones for our customers. Infact we will be premiering the HTC HD2 exclusively at TATA DOCOMO Dive-In stores so that customers may have a firsthand experience of the world’s biggest touch screen phone.”

“The HTC HD2 phones, together with TATA DOCOMO offerings, will appeal to a broad spectrum of retail and business customers who want an exceptional mobile experience with e-mail, messaging, social networking, mobile Internet, music and entertainment,” Mr Sandhu added.
