HTC HD2 vs HTC HD mini
Cellularmagazine.it has published this video comparing the HTC HD2 to the HTC HD Mini. The smartphone is clearly much smaller than the HD2, seemingly able to fit whole inside the screen of the HD2.
The video shows the HD Mini has a pretty faithful reproduction of the Sense UI of the HTC HD2, but lacks some of the more processor-intensive features such as the landscape album view.
Of course the HD Mini does run Windows Mobile 6.5.3, and update that will hopefully come to the HD2 at some point.

There is no reason to include "HD" in the name of the "HD Mini." The whole reason they used HD was because the Touch HD had a large, high resolution screen. The HD Mini has neither.
"Of course the HD Mini does run Windows Mobile 6.5.3, and update that will hopefully come to the HD2 at some point."
This from a blog that cooks its own ROMs? Really? The HD2 cannot run 6.5.3 without a carrier or HTC upgrade?
Hmm, where is the Start button on-screen on the HD Mini? Have they removed it altogether? 6.5.3 looks a lot nicer without it.
But… looking at this video it reminds me how crappy low-resolution screens are. Never bothered me when I had a QVGA Omnia, but now that I'm on WVGA just seeing how squished everything is on the HD Mini makes me want to barf. Also, agreed that the HD in the name makes no sense… why is it HD, merely because it's capacitive? No HD screen, no HD video playback, no HD video recording… misleading marketing BS.
