Hands on: HTC HD 7 review

HTC is clearly showing its stall out phone with Microsoft on Windows 7, as it brought five sets of architecture. This, the HTC HD 7, has a UK release date of October 21. So what's fun?
The HTC HD 7 is by far the largest of them, with a wish HD and HD 2-matching 4.3-inch screen above the near-identical hardware specs of its other WP7 brethren.

In the hand feels a little giant-small hands can struggle to contain the heft, but fortunately it seems thin enough not to give the impression of a small netbook in your pocket.
The screen makes up most of the phone when on-apart from a narrow strip of glass at the bottom who loves the touch-sensitive buttons, this is very much on the screen, which makes sense when you consider how huge it is.

Our only gripe is that it is not an OLED-Samsung Omnia 7 the edge on the HD 7 on screen quality, and we have the vibrancy of that tech on this screen size would be held.
The 5MP camera on the back is a bit more tech-heavy than his brothers, offering a dual-led Flash that can also be used as a video light when capturing HD video at 720 p.

There is also an extremely playable-with kickstand on the back, propping up the phone if you want to look at things and you need your hands for something else.

We are told the kickstand power of above can take and safe will close than snap off. ... but we did not test that theory in the event that we are wrong.

The top power/lock button can be difficult to achieve if you are the teenier-handed race, but then again this phone might not be for you if that is the case – perhaps check out the HTC Mozart instead, which offers a sense also decent chassis with a more palatable screen size?

If the Windows Phone 7 experience is designed to be virtually identical on most handsets, we have done a thorough hands on review of the separately so you can see how the HTC HD 7 new fancy interface works:
Like her brothers, the HTC HTC hub that are part of the Taiwanese companies attempts to add some degree of alignment with the WP7 party, an HTC Sense-like experience to the HTC HD 7.
The HTC hub is hopeless/delicious over-engineered-every time you want to see again you have to fly through clouds for a second or two.

Notes is a cool application that allows you to post reminders to yourself, and if the post-it notes age on the virtual notice board, they are getting more and more crumpled.
The other cool application is Sound Enhancer-it really makes a difference to songs, although we found Dolby Mobile, rather than SRS Surround Sound, to be more effective for watching movies.

There are also other various applications pre-loaded on the HTC 7 Trophy, such as Photo Enhancer and stocks-HTC also provides a link to download fun stuff like the flashlight application for free.
So is the HTC HD 7 too big? O2 offers from 40 € per month on a two year deal if you want the handset free-and that's a lot to be commit wonga.

However, it is less than £ 400 on pay-as-you-go system, which is a more palatable option, especially if you might with a monthly contract of low-cost links.
We will be bringing you the full HTC HD 7 review soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that as we walk our expert on every nook and cranny of this phone, eyes and the new OS.
