HTC HD7 review: Dim the lights

There's no such thing as a small WP 7 phone. However, 4.3 inches of screen estate are really something else. The best case scenario: the HTC HD7 is the phone you've been waiting for. The worst case scenario: it's too big to fail.

4.3" 16M-color capacitive LCD touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels) ; Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Dual-band 3G with HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) and HSUPA (2Mbps) ; Windows Phone 7 operating system ; 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 576MB RAM, 512MB ROM ; 5...

High screen response time causes visible ghosting ; Non-expandable storage ; No lens protection ; Quite heavy at 162 g (not that we mind) ; Somewhat susceptible to the "antenna death grip" (signal drops by at least two bars)

HTC HD7 review

The screen that just keeps on going meets the OS that refuses to fit on a single display. Yes, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, like Windows Mobile 6.5 and

Giant 4.3-inch display makes everything easier ; Windows Phone 7 runs like well oiled machine ; Great ergonomics

Questionable build quality ; Poor viewing angles, contrast, color reproduction ; Small battery for its size

HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) review

The HTC HD7 is T-Mobile's first Windows Phone 7 device and makes its debut on November 8, along with the Samsung Focus and HTC Surround for AT&T. The HD7, however, holds the distinction of having the largest display of any Windows Phone 7 handset in...

The HTC HD7 features a large 4.3-inch display and has a solid build quality and integrated kickstand. The Windows Phone 7 device offers full wireless options, a 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture, and 16GB of internal memory.

The HD7 is on the bigger side and lacks expandable memory. Speaker is weak. Touch screen isn't quite as sharp or vibrant as the latest devices.

The hardware could use a bit of updating, but the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile combines the power of Windows Phone 7 with a large touch screen and delivers satisfying performance.

HTC HD7 (T-Mobile)

T-Mobile's first Windows Phone 7, the HTC HD7 is a big canvas for video and games.

Large, bright screen. Useful kickstand. Excellent audio and video performance.

No HSPA+. No hotspot mode. Poor camera.

Conclusions The HTC HD7 is a big, good-looking phone, and Windows Phone 7 is a great-looking OS. But the HD7 falls behind our Editor's Choice, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G ($199, 4.5 stars), on a range of measures. The myTouch 4G has faster Internet speeds,...

HTC HD7 Review

The HTC HD7 wears its potential on its sleeve. The biggest of the first batch of Windows Phone 7 devices, at 4.3-inches it's also one of the largest smartphones of any OS on the market. We've already given our approval to Windows Phone 7 in our...

It’s hard to shake a sense of familiarity with the HTC HD7 – that feeling that, despite the new OS, we’ve seen this device before. We’re of course referring to the HTC HD2 , the de facto Windows Mobile 6.5 flagship, which shares not only the same...

HTC HD7 vs Apple iPhone 4

Another year, another new iPhone, and also another new gargantuan HTC phone sporting a Microsoft mobile platform. With that in mind, it's only natural to pit latest the iterations of each smartphone against one another – but unlike last year, the...

HTC HD7 Review

Microsoft and HTC have reunited to give you the HTC HD7. A fine piece of hardware cut from the same cloth as the EVO 4G and the HTC Desire HD. The HTC HD7 sports a 4.3 inch screen, a host of connectivity options, a 5MP camera with autofocus and dual...

An Android user’s review of the HTC HD7 and Windows Phone 7

I've been an Android user since the G1 . Picked one up on launch day, in fact. I was working in an environment that was heavily embedded in open source, so the greater concepts that surrounded Android appealed to me. It was my first real smartphone,...
