[HD7 General] Rouz.:
[REF] Important things you MUST know before buying an HD7

I definitely love my HD7. I had the choice to go for an Omnia 7, but i chose my HD7, simply because i love this device.

What makes me sad is to see people all over the forum, crying about what they thought their hd7 would be and finding out that its not.

If you want to buy an HD7, (especially if you want to upgrade from an HD2) please read this carefully before buying it, or you will suffer the consequences.

1- Same hardware, different design

basically, you should know that HD7 is an HD2, with a different design, and a different operating system. If you are upgrading from an HD2, Please don't expect any improvements! In fact, you might feel that HD2 was kinda better in some cases (which i will explain)

2- Screen is not perfect

Although the display is capable of displaying more colours compared to HD2, its still just a normal TFT screen. Its FAR AWAY from an AMOLED or Super AMOLED screen. If you really care about having a bright and clear screen, please buy an Omnia 7!

3- Camera could've been better

The camera will actually kinda dissapoint you. Although it may be a software issue (that could be solved by a ROM update for new drivers) rather than a hardware one, but its not as good as HD2's.

4- Celluar reception issue

Some people report that they are having reception issues with HD7, Some don't. but personally, i had a better reception back when i was using my HD2 (over the same network). If you have a weak reception at your area, you may want to consider this before buying an HD7

5- Speakers!

Although i feel the speakers are same as HD2, but i have seen many people complaining about weak speakers, for not having a strong bass, or not being loud enough.

6- You are limited to WP7, and WP7 ONLY!

You won't have android and winmo 6.5 on your HD7! Its not the same as HD2! Although i thought it would be great if we could have them too, but for some reason, anyone who asks for android gets heavily flamed by the community. So be careful, you shouldnt ask!

7- WP7 is very limited

WP7 is limited in everyway. I personally love this operating system, but i see a lot of people complaining about it. Seriously though, why would you guys buy a WP7 device if you don't like windows phone 7?

If you are buying this operating system, you should know that you wont have access to your SD-Card, you wont have Copy-and-Paste, You can't install software from anywhere except market, you won't have a fully functional bluetooth (you can't send/recieve music files, etc), There won't be custom ROMs, and a lot more that you can read in other threads.

8- You won't find the applications that you are used to

You think your favorite GPS software is a must-have? well, you cant have it on wp7. At least, not until the release of a wp7-compatible version. So please don't buy an HD7, complaining why you can't have this and that.

WP7 is still in early stages of existance. You should know that it will take some time for the devs and manufacturers to develope a wp7 version of your favorite application. So please be patient, and give them time.

That was all. Please dont get discouraged by reading this. HD7 is a perfect device, and me, as well as many others, really love this phone. I'm only saying this to those who are expecting improvements over HD2. You won't see any! So please think twice before upgrading to HD7.

Thank you.
