Average camera. Choice of apps limited. No easy way to switch apps.

Some people will love this, others will wait. Many different tariffs can be obtained by the different providers for this new piece of hardware from HTC. For now there are five different variants - HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, HTC 7 P...
The HTC HD7 is the first of a raft of WinPho 7 handsets but its high spec and solid quality are likely to put it at the front of the queue. HTC has kept its usual buffing up of the OS to a minimum, with just the HTC Hub section offering specialised app...
