FEATURED REVIEW

Impressive! This is the first "off-brand" phone that I have been impressed with. The Starlight HD2 is a VERY
convincing HTC HD2 look-alike and work-alike. I bought this to replace my HTC HD2 which finally died after
two years usage. The Starlight HD2 replacement feels almost exactly like my original phone. It has the same
solid, heavy feeling in your hand, and the same exact form factor and dimensions. Most importantly, it
functions with the same snappy and responsive performance I have become accustomed to with the original.
The MTK6573 has finally brought middle-end phone chipsets to a performance level that allows them to be
reasonably competitive with the top-brand phones.

Pros:
+ MTK6573 + GPU + Android 2.3 provide a surprisingly responsive and agile user experience. A refreshing
and significant upgrade from the previous generation MTK chipsets.
+ Bright, sensitive, and responsive touchscreen.
+ The case, battery cover, and front-glass all fit together beautifully. This does not feel or look like your
typical "off-brand" smartphone.
+ Android 2.3 provides a huge amount of functionality out-of-the-box. You can add tons of apps from the
Market as well.
+ Tested working:
* 3D games and sensors: for example, Asphalt 5 runs smoothly and beautifully as my original phone.
* Phone: just inserted my usual Simple Mobile (USA) SIM card and everything worked perfectly.
(for mobile/cellular data and MMS, a few simple APN parameters need to be set according to your
carrier. done in the Settings app).
* WiFi good.
* Listening to music and watching video all working smoothly.
* Camera and video recording works. (haven't tested camera seriously, I don't use that function much).
* etc.
+ Other than a missing T-Mobile and HTC silkscreen logos, this is difficult to distinguish from my original HTC
phone.

- Battery life (but this is true of most smartphones). Being careful about using WiFi and other battery
hogs helps alot. There are good apps on the Market which can automatically tune batter usage as well.
- Price. There are a number of phones (on other sites) with similar hardware specs at the $140-$150
price points. The $200 price point of Starlight HD2 is the ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The
phone itself is 4.8/5 stars. I believe the price is inflated a bit because of the "HD2" name.

Since I've only had the phone for a couple of days, I can't attest to the longevity. But initial usage and
impression are positive for the reliability and robustness of the hardware.

Overall: The Starlight HD2 is a beautifully manufactured, mid-to-high performance smartphone. A worthy
replacement for your aging HTC HD2 or other phone. MTK's 6573 chipset combined with Android 2.3
provide a responsive user experience. At a slightly lower price point (say, $150 USD), this phone will
fly off of LightInTheBoxes shelves!
