The smart phone market is increasingly saturated with offerings from all the big technology giants, including Apple, Blackberry and various Android devices. Microsoft has recently got in on the act too, releasing 10 new phones, all of which run the Windows Phone 7 operating system, and they?re manufactured by a variety of companies. There are offerings from LG, Samsung and Dell, plus 5 by Android specialists HTC. We take you through some of the best Windows phones, their advantages, disadvantages and key features.

One of the most eagerly anticipated Windows Phone 7 phones is the HTC HD7. This phone is generally very good. It has a decent sized screen of 4.3inches, and it?s also a touchscreen. There are good apps available, including Photo Enhancer and Notes. It also has up to 16GB storage capacity, a 5 megapixel camera and HD video recording capabilities. A couple of flaws include the below par display quality and comparatively low number of pixels, plus a slightly low build quality.

The HTC Mozart is thought to be the most successful of the Microsoft phones and it certainly has the spec to suggest that this is the case: it boasts an 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and generally excellent picture quality. The apps are as good as they are on other HTC phones and the appearance of the phone, plus the 8GB storage capacity, are also attractive. The 3.7inch touchscreen makes it a good pocket phone and the build quality is definitely excellent.

The Omnia 7 is the Windows phone produced by Samsung. The best feature of this is the brilliant high contrast AMOLED screen, which is easily better than any other LCD offerings. It has a good 5 megapixel camera, although the focusing capabilities could be improved. It has a good loudspeaker that streams sound with only minimal distortion. One area where it?s lacking is in the number of apps available from Samsung. Also, the power button is in an odd place but overall the layout and phone appearance are good.

LG have also produced a Windows Phone 7 phone known as the Optimus 7Q. Overall, it?s a good phone that has good connectivity and 8GB storage capacity. The 3.5inch screen and 480 x 800 pixel resolution, plus the 5 megapixel camera are all excellent. It?s also currently the only Windows Phone 7 phone to come with both a touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard. Largely, the keyboard is a good thing but it?s a little uncomfortable to use and also adds considerable bulk to the phone, which weighs it down.

August 2010 saw the release of the long awaited Blackberry Torch. Upon its initial release, Blackberry called it the best ever Blackberry, a moniker handed down from the previous 9700 series; but with such a bold claim made by the 5th largest mobile phone company in the world; is it really justifiable? Plus, how does their best ever compare to the likes of the massively popular iPhone 4G?

In terms of its specifications, the Torch can quite easily say it is the best ever Blackberry, as it offers many more features than all previous models. The Torch comes with 4 gigabytes internal storage capacity with a 4 gigabyte MicroSD included in the box, a 3.2 inch LCD touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera and WiFi capability; all engineered to work on the brand new 6th generation Blackberry OS.

The Torch is meant to demonstrate a new direction for Research in Motion, with the target audience being the average consumer. Though with competition from the likes of the Galaxy S and iPhone 4G, it is a tough market. It is fair to say that the Torch is a great Blackberry, possibly not the best relative to technological advances, but certainly great. The slide function reveals a full QWERTY keyboard that most have said is the best available on the market today; it may not be as big as on previous Blackberries, but then they were not slide phones. The new operating system is unfortunately not a completely revamped system; more of a majorly updated 5th generation OS, but that does not mean it is not good. In fact, the new OS is probably the best improvement on the handset, as for the old target consumers, multitasking was one of the most important functions, and the Torch can do this better than most.

Although the Torch has the features, and the 6th Gen OS is better, it is simply not as good as the competition at most other functions. The processor that is used in the Torch is strangely the same unit from the 9700 model, but modified slightly; meaning that its 600Mhz clock speed is way down on the competition and can seem sluggish compared to the Google Nexus One and Apple iPhone.

The Blackberry Torch will always be a hit with certain die hard fans, even with its shortcomings; though the market has now become quite competitive and although there are some phones that can do more, they can not necessarily do it better. With the Apple iPhone being the benchmark of the last few years, and the 4G model only solidifying that fact, it is going to be a difficult task for RIM to wrench the trophy from Apple’s grasp. Unfortunately, although the Torch is a decent phone, and certainly the best Blackberry, it can not get near the reigning champion.

HTC is a brand pseudonymous with advanced technology and innovating design with as much as 30% of its total workforce dedicated to research and development. Going by this fact, it is not hard to see that the HTC HD7, the Taiwanese corporations latest handset, is a force to be reckoned with in the smartphone sector. What makes it particularly special is that because of the collaborations between Microsoft and HTC, the new HD7 will preview the latest Windows Phone 7 operating system.

The main features of the HD7 are quite obvious; the first being the operating system, and the second being the 4.3 LCD display. The HD7 carries much of the same internal hardware as the HTC HD2, which was released in 2009, though at that time, those particular specifications were exceptionally advanced; today it is about the same level as the competition. Along with the massive display is a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5 megapixel camera, and internal storage that amounts to a non-expandable 16 gigabytes.

What makes the HD7 a great phone is the combination of it abilities. It has a super fast processor, a screen that is very large, and subsequently, easy to read, an easily navigable platform and a fantastic base for which to begin the Windows Phone 7 operating systems journey. Rather than go into details about the OS, it will suffice to say that WP7 brings the most out of the internal specifications of the HD7, making applications run super smooth and very quick.

A lot of marketing hype has been surrounding the HD7 for its ability to record 720p video and make playback a joy with its horizontal kickstand and twin speakers. Unfortunately the kickstand feels a little weak and the speakers are of poor quality. The rear casing is also quite thin and seems to offer very little protection, with the metal strip that surrounds the device and the glass screen providing the majority of the units strength. It simply does not feel expensive enough.

The combination of the technological capabilities that HTC offer in the HD7, plus with the brand new Microsoft Windows Phone 7 operating system, make this handset a great smartphone, with silky smooth applications and features that put many other phones to shame. The screen is big, but not overly so, and as such, it does not feel too bulky or heavy. In summary, the HD7 is more than the sum of its parts, but if you are stuck for choice, then you really need to look at the operating systems of the big manufacturers; do you want Android, iPhone, Symbian, Palm, Blackberry, MeeGo or Windows Phone 7? If you answer is the latter, then the HTC HD7 is the best option for you.
