More Sense in HD
So, what's in it for the Desire HD? As mentioned earlier, an updated HTC Sense UI as well as the HTCSense.com. The HTC Sense UI remains relatively similar to the one found in the Desire, with a couple of notable changes that makes it easier to customize your phone or to get from one place to another.
HTCSense.com
The more major add-on would be the HTCSense.com. For those who have no clue what the HTCSense.com is about, it is a suite of free complementary smartphone services that syncs and backups your data onto a server while providing mobile security and details on a misplaced or lost phone - and in a worst case scenario when it cannot be found, you can remotely lock or wipe the phone from HTCSense.com. Right now, these services are exclusive to both HTC Desire HD and Z, with no official word on its compatibility with older phones like Desire or Legend.
This is easy to set-up; on switching on the HTC Desire HD for the first time, you will be prompted to set up an account on HTCSense.com with your email account and mobile phone number. We encountered minor troubleshooting and had problems connecting to the server, so we would suggest that you head down to the website instead to sign up if the problem persists. After setting up the account and syncing it with your phone (you can further configure it under settings > accounts & sync), you can now fully make use of the new services at HTCSense.com. These can be accessed mostly though the website and partially through the HTC Hub and HTC Likes apps that are available on your phone.
