Tingling HTC Sense
If you're familiar with HTC devices, you'll also be aware that it's not the hardware that put the Taiwanese company's offerings in the forefront. Rather, it's what lies beneath the screen that makes it stand out in the sea of mobile devices. In other words, the HTC Sense user interface (UI) will be its biggest attraction. Like the HD2, this smaller sibling will be running on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 platform, and shares a similar advantage - a fully skinned UI that makes it more user-friendly.
What you see on the HD mini's Sense UI is exactly what you'll experience on the HD2. In total, there are thirteen tabs on the main screen, two of which (Home and Settings) are non-removable. The remaining eleven tabs include People, Messages, Mail, Internet, Calendar, Stocks, Photos & Videos, Music, Weather, Twitter and Footprints - all of which can be removed or added as part of the interface.
Truth is, you won't find any major differences from the HD2 to the HD mini. But if you need a quick overview of what to expect from the Sense UI, there are a few differences to take note of, mostly aesthetics such as revamped tabs within its People interface. Looking at both the HD2 and HD mini, with the latter being the less powerful device, we weren't surprised to see a few features lacking. This includes the absence of a landscape orientation for its Photos & Videos and Music tab, and limiting the weather animation to the Weather tab.
