Battery life poor
Viewing angles on screen not great
Lots of problems with the finish

There's no memory card slot to top up that storage space
Disappointing battery life
Lack of manual Wi-Fi search feature

Average video
No memory expansion
App store is just getting going
Poor social-networking options
Landscape mode is lacking in places
Poor Yahoo search in the browser

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.
No Flash on the internet browser
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.

On the bigger side; lacks expandable memory; speaker is weak; touchscreen isn't quite as sharp or vibrant as the latest devices.
