Disappointing battery life

Screen is surprisingly poor
The Windows Phone 7 OS won't suit all users – it currently lacks the number of apps available for the iPhone 4 and Android devices – and social networking integration is surprisingly poor. The screen on the HTC HD7 could also be brighter.

Average HD recording
Mediocre HTC Hub
Video kept shifting focus
App market quite bare so far
Average camera. Choice of apps limited. No easy way to switch apps.
