The standard 1230 mAh battery on the HTC HD2 does a very good job at keeping the phone running for over a day’s worth of heavy usage. Still, the capacity may not be enough for those times when you have no access to a wall outlet or a car charger.

In these cases, it makes perfect sense to be bringing a spare battery along, or simply have one that is built with lots of energy. The 2300 mAh extended use battery for the smart phone certainly looks the part, it is huge. HTC has yet to announce the exact number of usage hours the new battery will deliver, but we certainly expect to be able to go for several days without charging on this device.

On a side note, HTC has decided to add a little extra feature on the back of the new battery –a small flip open kick stand which will enable you to place the device on a table for viewing your videos (you no longer have to hold the device when you are watching a video).

For those who are wondering why this little WinMo smart phone has been so successful, the secret lies in the use of the HTC Sense user interface as a workaround to using the user interface of Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile 6.5 and its earlier versions have been criticized for the difficulty of use due to the fact that it was made for resistive touch screens and the use of a stylus. With many touch screen users used to capacitive screens, WinMo is awkward to handle.

Aside from the HTC Sense UI, the HD2 also comes with a Snapdragon processor running at 1GHz and a large 4 inch capacitive touch screen.
