HTC has unleashed a new smartphone with a spacious 4.3-inch touch-sensitive screen and a five-megapixel camera. Even better, the new HD2 can even function as a 3G wireless router for other devices such as a laptop, the company said.

Measuring 4.7 x 2.6 inches and tipping the scales at 5.5 ounces, the 0.43-inch thick HD2 is powered by Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which is capable of rendering high-resolution 3-D games, images and maps. Snapdragon also has optimized power-management capabilities that enable HTC's new smartphone to deliver up to eight hours of video playback or 390 hours of standby operation off a single charge of the handset's 1230-mAh Lithium-ion battery.

Under the hood, HTC's multiband cellular handset has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS capabilities. What's more, built-in sensors enable the display to automatically adjust screen brightness based on lighting conditions and even scale down the ringer volume the moment the user picks up the handset.

The HD2's integration of a capacitive touch display with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 OS means users will be able zoom in or out of Web sites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents, and pictures by spreading or pinching their fingers. Also on tap is Microsoft's new My Phone service, which enables users to automatically back up and synchronize photos, music tracks, contacts and text messages with other computing devices.

4.7" is a good compromise for such a device. If you want a tiny cell phone, a smartphone is probably not what you should be looking at. Think of what else you don't have to carry around with this in your pocket...
