What the HTC HD7 Has to Offer

By Tiff Blantersburg


The new HTC HD7 is one of the Windows Phone 7 phones to be released, competing against many of the other entertainment styled smart phones available. Manufactured by HTC, the smart phone is loaded with a variety of features that support its claim to be an entertainment device as much as a portable telephone. But many may wonder how it compares to other similar entertainment based smart phones out right now, and what will the competition look like? This is the question regular users and technology buffs have been asking since the HD7 was released this past October, and this is the question that this article will aim to answer while reviewing some of the accessories for the new HTC phone that potential buyers may wish to consider.

Perhaps the most important thing to know about the HD7 is that it is essentially the HTC HD2 on the inside with a few cosmetic changes on the outside. This is not a fact that HTC or Microsoft will advertise, but if you are interested in saving money, you should keep it in mind before spending money on an upgrade to the new phone if you already have the HTC HD2. The processor is a 1 GHz chip that is plenty fast, but it is essentially the same processor that was in the previous version of this smart phone that was released last year. That said, there are still numerous features on the old and new versions that make it worthy of consideration in comparison to other smart phones.

For example, the HD7 ships with a 16 gb internal memory capacity, which will come in handy if you are interested in storing lots of movies and seasons of TV shows on your HTC phone. Additionally, the HD7 ships with the latest smart phone operating system from Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 OS. The operating system is different from that on the majority of smart phones out there, which almost always ship with the latest available version of Google's smart Android operating system for smart phones (the latest version, by the way, is currently 2.1, although 2.2 is expected to be available later this fall).

Perhaps the biggest drawback to HTC's newest phone in comparison to most other media focused smart phones out there is that it comes with a rather small battery. The battery is rated for 1230 mah, which is on the small end when you look at what most other smart phones are packed with. For example, the LG Optimus 7 ships with a battery that has at least a 1500 mah capacity, and the smallness of the HD7's battery comes into play even more when you consider it has a very large 4.3 inch touch screen display that must be backlit.

But regardless of all these comparisons, people interested in accessories for the HD7 will be happy to find that they can easily purchase a case (after all, it should not be that different from the HTC HD2 case) either online or offline in department and tech stores.
