The HTC HD7 wears its potential on its sleeve. The bigger the first batch of Windows Phone 7 devices, at 4.3-inches it’s also one of the largest smartphones of any OS on the market. We’ve already given our approval to Windows Phone 7 in our launch-day reviews, and we were quietly impressed during our initial play at the HD7′s launch.
The HD7′s hardware is strikingly similar to that of the HTC Desire HD we reviewed earlier this week. Dominating the phone is a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, with minimal bezel and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash on the back. Inside is a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 chip, the same as all the other first-wave Windows Phone 7 devices, paired with 576MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM and 16GB of flash storage.
Hardware controls consist of the power/sleep button on the top edge, and volume and camera buttons on the side; there are also three touch-sensitive buttons under the display – back, home and search – together with a 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB port on the bottom edge.
Phone quality was good, with parties at both ends able to head us clearly, and the speakerphone was strong. The HD7′s large display, responsive interface and our generally positive feelings about Windows Phone 7 all stand in its favor, but there are still niggling flaws and frustrations that mar the overall experience.
