The touchscreen has haptic feedback, which is very useful when tapping the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The speaker audio is thin and tinny, sufficient for a quick listen with your friends but probably not worth using as a dedicated music playback device (not that you ever would.) Two speaker grilles peek out on either side of the phone, suggesting that the HD7 can be used as a mini boombox, but I wouldn’t recommend it. The phone has three touch-sensitive buttons along the bottom edge: a back button, a “Windows” button, and a search button, and elsewhere on the phone are a dedicated camera key, power key, and volume keys. In reality the HD7 just looks big because it is a bit wider and has a smaller bezel than the iPhone 4. A 4-inch phone seems bigger and bolder than a puny iPhone or a similar, but smaller, touchscreen phone. The 4-inch phone form factor (4PFF, for short) is quite popular recently, and for good reason. Instead, I’m focusing on hardware and value-for-money. So I won’t comment on that in this review. These things - third party app multitasking, copy and paste, or tethering - are things that people complained about other mobile operating systems lacking a year and a half ago. The things it does, it does well - but the things that it doesn’t (yet), tend to stick out. What it’s not, relative to the competition, is complete.
HTC HD7 REVIEW WINDOWS
Windows Phone 7 is elegantly executed, incredibly intuitive, and straight-up beautiful at times. Here is basically WinPho 7 in a nutshell and probably one of the best descriptions of the OS I’ve read: Despite the large form factor, it fits comfortably in the pocket and hand, and doesn't feel like a brick when held against the ear.There is little I can say right now about Windows Phone 7 that Greg hasn’t already said. Despite its plastic construction, it feels pretty solid, with our biggest gripe being the grills above and below the screen and their propensity to attract dust. Overall, the phone is a good size with a nice even weighting behind it. Standalone, needless to say, it's a real pleasure to use. On the downside, it's also slightly dull when compared to a Super AMOLEDs, with blacks on it looking a dark shade of grey and colours lacking that AMOLED saturation people just can't seem to get enough of.
Delivering very similar results at the same 480x800 resolution, the Super LCD display gets the same positive remarks - big, bright and ultimately, a real eye popper. The HTC HD7 is a very recognizable sibling of the Desire HD and EVO 4G, largely due to the screen. Our HTC HD7 has 16GB of memory on board with no option for expanding memory (despite there being a microSD card slot under the non-removable back panel). Other than the shiny new phone, inside the box, you'll also find a microUSB connector, a mains charger in-which the USB cable plugs in, headphones, foam ear pieces and a range of pamphlets on the topic of your new phone. You may recall our niggle with the HTC Desire HD lay with the battery cover and card cover being fiddly, this is remedied with the HTC HD7, which adopts a more traditional battery cover on the back. Its big fascia, curved, smooth back, solid look and feel all come together nicely. Being compared to the HTC Desire HD is for the most part a good thing in our eyes, and when we set eyes on the HTC HD7, we were hopeful.
