I really wanted to love this product because to be fair if it did all the things it claims it can, it would be the definitive small tablet machine.

Some moments you never want to forget. So capture them with HTC Desire HD’s high definition video camera. Then relive and share every detail in HD on your TV, long after the memories have faded.
Never get lost again
HTC Desire HD features downloadable maps that are stored on your phone
Ever get frustrated when maps take too long to download and you miss that vital turn, or when your phone rings and you lose your place? Well here's an idea, downloadable maps that are stored on your phone and load up as soon as you need them. And as you may get a phone call when you're looking at your map, when someone calls you the map screen never goes away.
From the big screen to the bigger screen
When HTC Desire HD’s big screen isn’t quite big enough, share photos and videos on a bigger screen. Stream them wirelessly, straight to your DLNA TV with DLNA connection.
A phone you can’t lose (well not easily anyways)
If your phone is on silent and you can't find it just pop online and make it ring from HTCSense.com
If your phone is on silent and you don’t know where it is, we’ll help you find it. Just pop online and make it ring from HTCSense.com. If your phone goes missing, hop online and you can lock it, back up all your contacts and texts and even place a message on the home screen asking for its return.
The full web with Flash Player® 10.1
Some phones can’t play all the video content that's on the web. Well, the HTC Desire HD can. With Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 it plays videos and animations so you can see the web as it was meant to be.
News from your favourite sites, all in one place
The HTC Desire HD syncs with Google Reader, so you can keep up with news from all of your favourite sites and blogs in one place. So whether you're in the office, at home, or away from both, keeping up with what's happening is easy. When you're browsing on your phone, the HTC Desire HD shows you an RSS icon on sites you can add to your reader. All you need to do is tap it to add.
More windows more browsing
You don’t browse one page at a time on your computer so why do it on your phone? Open more websites in more windows and browse more freely.
