HTC said they would start shipping the devices this week and should thus be available from most retailers next week.

Thanks for all.
I will take it.

Good choice - you won't regret it and welcome to the forums!

I think the HD2 is better than the TG01 in most respects. The screen is slightly larger, it has more memory, the case is actually slightly smaller (despite the screen size), and HTC's "Sense" customisation is better than Toshiba's weird stripey GUI.

There are two reasons why you might prefer a TG01, though.

The first is if you need a resistive screen: for example, if you want to be able to easily use a stylus (or any convenient object that happens to come to hand) to press the screen with, or if you want to be able to use while wearing gloves; neither of these is possible on an HD2. Of course the HD2's screen being capacitive has an upside: it supports multi-touch, inluding pinch-to-zoom in some applications.

The other reason is if video playback is a big priority: the TG01 comes with a custom version of Coreplayer which is able to make use of GPU-acceleration; the commercial version of Coreplayer won't be able to do that on an HD2, so performance won't be as good.

Don't get why people keep posting about coreplayer when the HD2 comes with its own dedicated player that supports avi playback natively.
The UI is also horrible.

Your first point is valid however.

Because it doesn't support any useful codecs like divx or xvid, which means it won't play most avi's.

But you could just buy coreplayer for the HD2 if it doesn't - 30$ isn't that much if you really need it(especially when you consider the many other positive aspects the HD2 has over the tg01).

Btw. are you absolutely sure it won't play xvid and divx content?
