Disappointing battery life
Lack of manual Wi-Fi search feature

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.

The HTC HD7 is everything we'd hoped it would be, thanks to its gorgeous hardware and the simple, swoopy pleasure of Windows Phone 7. But only time will tell whether the bare shelves of the app store will eventually be stacked with treats....
The HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7 - available in the UK exclusively on O2 - may not be the game changer that its creators would have hoped for, but it's a powerful, capable device with an OS that stands up well against the competition, and offers a str...
Because of Microsoft's stringent minimum specifications for OEMs and 'standardisation' of the platform, each Windows Phone 7 handset is going to offer a very similar OS experience. That said, the HD7 is the biggest screen around at launch which is a re...
Windows Phone 7 was very smooth to navigate and seemed fairly simple to use on the HTC HD7 smartphone. It clearly shows that Microsoft focused much more on the consumer with this OS, even though it left in a lot of its productivity software that will ...
Abstract: With all these Android smartphones hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before Windows decided to join in the fray. HTC brings us the HD7, packing the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system and promises us a different experience. Pitted agai...
Abstract: It seems that T-Mobile has a thing for big phones. Earlier on in 2010 the carrier launched the HTC HD2, which was a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. It had a huge 4.3" screen. It was lauded for its sheer beauty. The HD7 is the HD2's new brother.The HTC HD7 is es...
I have never been this happy with a mobile and certainly not as impressed with one since the first iPhone was released.In terms of performance, design, and features, the HTC HD7 is the equal of the HTC HD2 and the Android powered HTC Desire. How...
This is a multipart conclusion, so let's start with the HD7. I've long felt that with the Venue Pro and the HD7, T-Mobile ended up with the two best WP7 launch devices, at least in the US. AT&T's range includes the Surround and it's pointless speaker, the...
Abstract: 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, ha...
