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.
