Following HTC's earlier HD2 announcement, the Taiwanese smartphone manufacture today held a press event in Taipei where HTC launched the HD2 globally. HTC's second Windows phone is quite unique in many aspects. First of all, it's the first Windows Mobile smartphone which features a capacitive touchscreen, so far known from the iPhones, Android or webOS smartphones only. Furthermore it's the first Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone which features HTC's new Sense UI, and upgrade to TouchFLO 3D, the company first introduced with the launch of the HTC Hero Android smartphone.

While the device, which is unboxed in this videoview, isn't a commercially available unit but a marketing unit only, it already shows what the HTC HD2 comes with. Unfortunately it seems HTC has left a pouch out of the package.

According to HTC, The HD2 will be available in Europe and Asia in the upcoming day/weeks with a launch in North America early 2010.
