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.

Excellent performance with a responsive touchscreen, beautiful and fresh interface design, strong multimedia features, 4.3″ display transforms the system into a mobile theater, Find my Phone feature is builtin and free, with its great performance and growing library of graphically rich games it makes sense that serious Xbox gamers will want this phone, Wireless Sync, strong social networking in
Doesn’t take advantage of TMobile’s 4G network, no cut and paste or internet tethering available yet for Windows Phone 7, dedicated social networking apps like Facebook and Twitter need to be downloaded separately, lacks multitasking capabilities, no option to expand storage, camera shots are hit or miss – camera pictures are not consistent and the camera often takes a while to focus.
Unlike Android, iOS, and the BlackBerry OS etc which do sport many similarities between one another, Windows Phone 7 really offers a breath of fresh air when it comes to its user interface's style and overall design. It's a totally different way of in...
Abstract: Another year, another new iPhone, and also another new gargantuan HTC phone sporting a Microsoft mobile platform. With that in mind, it's only natural to pit latest the iterations of each smartphone against one another – but unlike last year, the playi...
Still in the early stages, there's nothing drastically different with the platform experience by all of the available Windows Phone 7 devices out on the market right now. Rightfully so, there's nothing to change the performance that we experience on t...

Specification Here’s a look at the hardware on the T-Mobile HTC HD7 Windows Phone 7. The new kickstand design that surrounds the rim of the camera and duel LED flashes is quite a unique feature and I like it a lot. The only thing that’s disappointing ...
The Windows Phone 7 OS on HTC’s HD7 is absolutely wonderful in many respects, and yet in other areas, it is an OS filled with almosts. The email app is almost fantastic, but there are tiny issues that hinder it, such as its inability to download images...

Display looks duller than competing phones, Doesn't support HSPA+ or mobile hotspot app, Shorter battery life than Samsung Focus, Volume rocker too narrow, Out-of-focus 720p video
This large Windows Phone 7 device offers fast data speeds, a built-in kickstand, and a good selection of bundled apps.
Windows Phone 7 looks great on the screen, Video is smooth, bright and immersive, Web browsing is a pleasure on the large screen, Dolby Mobile and SRS work very well for music and video
Design has a few issues, OS needs to mature, Camera has some issues, Battery life could be better
The HTC HD7 is an all in all pleasure to use. Unfortunately however, it isn't as much of a wow device as its Android 4.3" siblings, having been released far later than the EVO 4G, therefore lacking the edge and without the build quality of the HTC Desi...
At $199.99 with a new, two-year agreement and a $50 mail-in discount, the T-Mobile HTC HD7 is basically the same price as AT&T’s Windows Phone 7 range. What you get by picking the HD7 is the bigger display, but HTC’s cost-cutting choice of LCD goes a ...
