HTC has announced its latest Windows Mobile 6.5-powered monster phone, the HD2, in markets across Europe and Asia.

The HD2 features a 4.3-inch touch display that measures 480 x 800 pixels. The phone is powered by Qualcomm's new 1 GHz Snapdragon mobile processor and will be the first Windows Mobile phone from HTC to come with the Sense UI, earlier seen on the Android based, HTC Hero. The HD2 has a now standard 5-megapixel camera that is capable of capturing above average images.

HTC has made quite a few changes to the way the HD2 handles things including a single contact view that displays individual communication snapshots of your conversations with the people in your life regardless of whether a call, text, Facebook status update or email were used. The unified messaging feature has been a long demanded functionality.

The phone will be available in the next few days at an undisclosed price in Europe and Asia. The device should hit the U.S. market early in 2010.
