Disappointing battery life

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.
Overall, the HD7 proved to be a solid, easy-to-use device. Watching a movie on the smartphone is unlike any other Windows Phone device, provided you are prepared to use headphones or a third party external speaker. The kickstand is solid in constructi...
Good screen, bright enough for direct sunlight, Fast and responsive, Excellent for media playback,
Recessed power button difficult to push, Mediocre battery life, Camera lacks color richness, pictures often blurry and dull

The audio and basic performance is a bit of a dampener but when you think of the plus points, the HD7 is up there on top. The biggest display size in Windows 7 mobile phones, a fantastic OS, a good camera and the pretty kickstand – all of them make thi...

Decent battery life; thin; very large and responsive display; good build quality; kickstand; feels great in the hand; decent camera, dual LED flash helps in low-light situations.
Windows Phone 7 is still has an extensive setup process; display looks a little washed out when compared to other devices; lagginess (specific to launching third-party applications); dual LED flash is sometimes too bright; tends to forget some settings.
In more ways than one, the HD7 impressed me. It's large but not bulky, feels great in the hand, and delivers a better Windows Phone 7 experience than what I've experienced before, much better. For $199.99 with a two-year agreement, this is a great de...
