Boasting of a 4.3-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen display, the HTC HD7 Windows Phone is great for watching movies, videos, TV programs, and still photos. It even comes with a kickstand for a comfortable hands-free viewing. Adding to its entertainment value is the pair of speakers mounted at the top and bottom of the phone. Owing to its large screen, it has the largest virtual QWERTY keypad compared to other smartphones. This means you can easily type your text messages, tag photos, update networking status, or any other function requiring typing.
Employing a powerful Qualcomm 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with a Windows Phone 7 operating system, the HD7 delivers an extremely fast multi-media and gaming experiences, such as movies from Netflix, games from Xbox Live, music from Slacker Radio, or TV shows from T-Mobile TV.
The Windows Phone 7 operating system employs a Hub and Tile interface that uses Live Tiles to directly access your files, such as your music, games, work, and contacts, without the need to open an application. You can choose which tiles you want on your Start screen including those that would give you a quick access to your mailbox, photos and albums, music, and even Microsoft Office. Since the operating system also incorporates many Microsoft services such as Windows Live, Bing, Xbox Live, and Zune, you can also have a tile for these. You can likewise opt to include the Me Tile that automatically updates all your social networking sites with just one entry.
Hubs assemble related applications and content allowing you to access or share them in one stroke. A fine example of a hub is the People Hub. This brings together your networking sites and continually provides you with fresh status updates from family and friends.
Other features include a GPS functionality providing you with accurate navigation guides from TeleNav GPS Navigator, Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, and an HD 720p video recorder.
