Don't buy the HD2 or you will be sorry!

I got suckered into the hype about the HD2 and bought one. It's a nice phone, as long as you don't make phone calls!

The speaker volume is fine, but it sounds a little tinny. I could live with that, but the background static and noise is horrible. T-mobile service sucks, period! Don't consider the phone unless you willing to deal with sub-par voice quality. I just returned my phone and am in the process of reinstating my Sprint account. That about sums it up!

That's odd because I had an HD2 and the voice quality is AMAZING. I have no complaints about the phone at all.

I tired my SIM card on another phone and they all sound shitty. Also, I tried a pre-paid SIM and again, the voice quality sucked. It seems be a network issue. I guess Sprint's sound quality has spoiled me!

Can't beat Sprint. Sadly. Cause even they weren't good. Glad I switched.

i think that the title should be "dont go to t-mobile or you will be sorry"

since its the carrier and not the hd2

Actually the thread should be changed, as in DELETED, since it's HIS signal not T-Mobile or the HD2.

He's just another fool who does not understand phones and technology so he blames it on the device.

All carriers have their bad or spotty coverage areas. The solution is to find a carrier whose signal works where he lives and works.

Isn't one of the perks of CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) call clarity and quality? I think while GSM offers ability of simulatneous voice & data, it suffers in clarity and quality of calls.

correct!
but seriously most misleading title I have ever seen...you're talking about the service of t mobile not the device itself. It really would dissuade a lot of would be buyers of the tmo hd2. And btw ideally you can port it to ATT as well just be stuck with 2g...so that's an option too
