Check out LG optimus 2x very nice clamish phone but its just 4.0 screen sizes and gues what? its android honeycombo.

While HTC HD7 is 4.3 sizes but boring windows phone 7

I might have to pay the full contract up front so i can go for a different phone for ANDROID build in..

I have the feeling that it will be far too dodgy and far too lame and far too issue if you where to isntall HTC HD7 android in it. Because most things will aventualy not work so well.

Infact HTC HD7 doesnt have flash and the new MANGO doesnt contain flash and the new flash wont be available until mid next year. So you dare to wait mid next year for that ?

HTC HD7 the best phone in the market 100% 5 stars within

HTC HD7 shame it has windows phone 7 because the marketplace wp7 is very lack. it contains 20,000 and more apps and 80% of all apps available is useless and or nothing interesting for you. Lack of comments and lack of ratings.

Its interesting because HTC HD7 windows phone 7 marketplace is mainly forcus on (the games app section) mainly but then again its only molre focus on the top areas of the games section.. if you keep scrolling down and down the apps its almost like a ghost town with no comments and no ratings and useless crab games.

So its a shame wp7. I might aswell end my contract sometime soon i think because it doesnt have android and i might aswell pick up a android. I wouldnt want a android asian language file by the asian developer who can't speak english and shove it in my phone when im not asian? im italian/english to begin with so it will be so useless to download android file on my phone.

Then again let alone see what happens when it does happen with these files.

But yes thats my goods and bad conditions of the HTC HD7 with the wp7

I cant believe 20,000 apps and counting and 80% of all apps there are useless and boring and perhaps even most of it all are multible copies and couble the same apps.... and the whole marketplace needs help. This is why android marketplace are the winners.. If wp7 wants to be champions and beat android they should of work on the marketplace TODAY instead of creating MANGOS.

Because MANGO is like creating a brand new hardware PHONE. People will concentrate more on the marketplace now days on a phone. So wp7 should concentrate more on the marketplace better apps more usefull apps. rather then some nice games and the rest of the marketplace rubbish.

Anyways very disapointed for wp7. And infact when mango apears mango wont just make things look theres android apps... mango just pretty much has features for the phone but these are basic its like buying a new phone but the interior of the marketplace remains the same with slow improovements and lacking of apps and comments there.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
Microsoft has repeatly said that this isn't a sprint, they are running a marathon. You say you want another OS that changes as much as WP7...hmmm..right now, every WP7 phone is running the same version of the OS..you didn't have to buy a new phone to get the latest update..there were system standards with WP7 so that fragmentation wouldn't be there.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
Yep thats right.

So here are the highlights:

Negative on the HTC HD7: extreme lack on the wp7 marketplace apps / lack of ratings / lack of comments on the apps / horrible and useless apps and not as good as android apps. Not much to do with the phone at all. / It needs more pages for better alpahet apps rather then one large scroll of random apps on the phone. 20,000 apps and 80% of them all are useless and nothing interesting and most of them are double copies and lots of boring apps that are so useless for many other countries needs.

POSITIVE: HTC HD7 fantastic 100% phone / fast responds / smooth scrolling / perfect and brilliant navigation thru websites with smooth zoom and out and scrolling. Beatuiful atractive HD7 phone / perfect screen sizes at 4' sizes

At the end: I expect in the future WP7 to be a smarter interior workable phone. Not the phone it self but the applications the big must is they should work on the marketplace apps.

They doing MANGO i rekond they should deal with the marketplace apps to make it usefull better good apps such as android apps offering. AND THEN work on MANGO

mango is mainly the phone feature things.. Not the marketplace. But will see considering there are 500+ features for mango it is hard to believe really 500 things and end up runing out of space on my 11gb left on my phone.

Here's my beef with you: if you don't like the phone, why keep trolling in this section?
[HD7 General] Kolenzo:
pro:

-fast

-easy

-smooth

-huge display

-OS looks good

con:

-huge display

I love the huge display but i also think it's the only flaw on the HD7. The resolution is 800x480 Pixels like in most other wp7 devices so the HD7 has a lower pixel density because of its huge display. this makes the colours look pale. Apart from that it's a great phone.
[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
What does resolution / pixel density have to do with colour saturation? The issue in the old LCD TFT technology used. Doesnt have the brightness and contrast of S-LCD or S-AMOLED.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
My htc hd7 the screen viewing when i scroll things around it looks quality allways but looks like its almost like a dream effect.. Have you ever seen movies where they show sometimes illusion effects and dreaming visual effects where its almost like ghosty drainy dreamy effect ? well its alittle like that.

Or more like as if you are to watch a live satellite broadcast show comming from another country and has that drainy dreamy effect... well its pretty much like that on the phone.. Yes it can be alittle annnoying but seriously you get use to it really.. and only shows that with letters on screen... its like all that as ive explain for example.. as if you where to pickup the alpahet letters and hold it on your hand.... throw the letter in a pool scroll it in the pool and look the letter from obove the pool it has that dreamy effect.. yeah? exactly like that :-)

it is the only easiest way to explain that. But you will get use to it. However i dont no how htc hd7s is like. but it wont matter much.
[HD7 General] sbrownla:
Discovering less functionality by the day ...

I need to vent for a second, but keep in mind that I lucked out and bought my HD7 for 150 on Craigslist, totally unlocked, and it is in mint condition ... so no buyer's remorse and no contract.

First, MS functionality should have been in place from the beginning. SkyDrive interoperability should have been ready back in November (or at the very least by now) and we should be able to edit and save MS documents, not have to wait until whenever "Fall" will be. For example, it is a nightmare just to grab a document from my email, update a few things, and send it to a friend or a colleague. I SWEAR that was one of the very things they highlighted at the very beginning--on the fly productivity.

Office is MS' bread and butter but they botched it. Now I have to figure out how to set up DropBox--which is to my advantage as knowledge is power--but having to figure out how is a disadvantage to any professional who was hoping to get a great device to ease mobile communication.

Future Xbox interactivity will be really neat, and that's something that can definitely have a slow rollout. Bit how difficult are mp3 ringtones? Cut and paste is a welcome feature and it works well on this device, but no video attachments to email? All I can attach from within the email app is photos ... that's it. I can't reply to an email with an Office doc, or or a PDF that I've downloaded from somewhere else ... I also can't even send a document that is on my SkyDrive much less open a document from within SkyDrive on my device. The IE browser pitches a fit whenever I navigate to SkyDrive.

Further, my G2 spoiled me, as did my N900. T-Mobile WiFi Calling is non-existent on the Hd7, as is tethering. Tethering isn't a big deal but WiFi Calling is imperative since I live in the woods. I knew that going in, but it is odd that of T-Mobile's latest devices, this one is the hottest off of the presses (OS wise) and doesn't have T-Movile's bread and butter apps, so it seems a bit odd.

I don't regret getting this phone. As others have said, it is classy and feels kind of grown-up. It is a breath of very fresh brisk air and its interface is just the vacation i needed from the same old grid.

But the OS is really just not ready yet, especially for those who really push the limits of what they expect from their phones. I love waking up to it every day and the ringtones, to me, are really great for being built-in. I just don't like finding more and more out that it can't do.

If you have a G2 and are impatient, hang onto it until "Fall" or you may be disappointed--unless you can get one for 150 bucks with no contract.
[HD7 General] Kolenzo:
Then tell me why the colours on the htc mozart look so much brighter. Both have the same display but different sizes. If it's not the density then what makes my colours look pale on the hd7?
[HD7 General] XPLANE9:
The Mozart uses a Super LCD screen while the HD7 uses a normal TFT LCD. The displays are far from the same.

[HD7 General] lauticol:
My dad was travelling and I asked him to buy me an HD2, that was all I wanted. When he came, he has bought me an HD7 (no more HD2 available). I was really excited about this! :)

For me, WP7 it's a really good looking OS, really smooth, and when you compare it with an android one, the animations WP7 has, let the android really boring.. I dont know why everyone complains about sound, for me it's fine. The 16 Gb of internal storage it's really nice. They also complain about the screen. For me, it's amazing. I think the Light sensor it's not working so fine in my device (it's kinda always in a point between Low and Medium Brightness level, and it only increases when a sunshine get over the screen)

The things I will want to see are:

- Flash support (I heard they will put it in the next 6 months)

- Save the video camera settings. (really annoying to change to 720p everytime you enter the camera)

- Be able to download any extension file from browser.

- File explorer. (was really usefull in WM6.x)

- Change all the sounds for ringers and alarms (I don't wake up with "any" song :D)(Think it'll come with Mango)

- No tetering.. (Think it'll come with Mango too)

- Multitasking had to be default with the first WP7.

- You should wait like 15 minutes for the camera to take the picture, it's kinda slow..

- The volume control on the left physically rattles. Feels cheap. (thought it was my device only)

- The camera (in the phone, the picture you take its AMAZING, really beautiful, when u see it in the computer, it sucks. Seems like an old 1.3 Mpx phone.

- I think it would be amazing if they put like a BlackBerry Messenger, between WP7 devices, would be cool.

And the one I think is the MOST important:

- BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE SOME FILE THROUGH BLUETOOTH (I can't even exchange a photo with a friend).. IDK if this is a Hardware or Software issue (i think software, because you can connect to headser by BT), but it's REALLY ANNOYING..

I havent received mine yet but I love how you use the word "however" way too many times
[HD7 General] anap40:
Its basically an HD2 with a kick stand (the hardware from the HD2 was over a year old when this phone came out)

On the other ahnd I really like the UI of WP7, but the os itself is lacking
[HD7 General] SugarMouth:
Hardware:

Horrible power button

Loose volume rocker which jingles.

Dust magnet on top and bottom of screen

Battery too small

battery cover does not fit correctly

These issues are on 5 phones I looked at from different years even.

Software:

Has potential but currently is VERY restricted.

Market apps run SLOW!

Email message tone inconsistent (software)

No flash support (debatable if a problem)

Overall WP7 with an HD7 is not a great phone, but a good phone. Coming from 3years of Android, I miss the Google app integration. I LOVE the keyboard and using the native apps but cringe when I have to go to a market app like say "Facebook" as they run like molasses.

At the end of the day I like WP7 and hope Mango is a HUGE improvement otherwise I'll go to what I know works well and that is iPhone. Android does everything I want but in an unrefined way, with iOS5 Apple now has it.

On another note, Windows 8 maybe a disappointment (to me) as it seems like a overlay on top of Windows 7 and with a few click you will be back into Win 7again. Even now I get into menus in my Win 7 device which have not changed since Win 95.

I have given an example of one of the limitations of WP7 to Android when clicking a common link from a social site.
[HD7 General] mhango:
How to Improve WP7

I'm just growing out ideas out there, first I would like to say the windows 7 _interface is by far most responsive. Its advanced but yet the people that created the interface limited it. When it comes to looks and feel. Its is plain Ugly. Just an idea how about integrating a lil Sense into the interface. I think it has a lot of potential. Maybe giving the tiles a glass 3D feel would be nice. Also different skins for the interface, NOT theme already has themes. Also being able to change wallpaper behind the tiles. If I could program I would not be here. As for android there is no need for it, we just need more windows 7 programmers.

Otima Enquete!!! o Hardware do HTC HD7 é um dos melhores que ja vi, o sistema flui bem e não me deixa na mão por isso amo esse aparelho!!

New HD7s

Just got the HD7s and almost immediately I wiped the stock rom. I like the Super LCD screen I don't like how hard it is to press the camera and the speaker is too quiet registry hack will fix this. I like it and think it has potential can't wait to dual boot and wifi tether. WP7 is too strict after mango comes out someone needs to break this thing wide open I mean everything wifi tether and of course free apps for all! The OS is very cool I just feel too restricted coming from android and wm.
[HD7 General] PrinceVegeta978:
Hardware Pro:

Large screen which i love as compared to my old Iphone 3G

Soft keys, me and my cousins Iphone home button started to get a bit troublesome and would not respond until pressed 2 times or more

Ability to upgrade MicroSD to a larger size

Camera takes nice pics and video

Cameras flash can be used as a very nice flashlight with a free app from the marketplace

Love the kick stand, c'mon, it's a kick stand :)

Hardware cons:

Power button is hard to press at times

Software pros:

Love everything about it, smooth running and love the tiles, live or not

Software cons:

None ATM

I will update as i get more familiar with this phone and OS

Rollercoaster Ride on a HD7

This thread has captured the HD7 perfectly,

Hardware: what is done well is done really well, I have to look hard to find anything negative. As for the OS, I have had nothing but a perfect ride, no soft reset of any hub, very responsive and smooth, I want to use the phone for work and play because of the OS. BUT.... that damn camera, if only that camera was middle of the range it would be better than it is now, I do expect the camera be a selling point, it adds value to the purchase, this is the only reason I can't say it the best phone out there and willing to stand by it. I can even live with the battery life just by being a little organised. The sound is little poor through the speakers considering they are in major view on the hardware, you almost expect THX, but I use the headset alot so not much of an issue for me.
[HD7 General] Achyloci:
Great hardware but it post xp microsoft

I love the hardware from the hd7 save for the no side sd card :confused:slot feels much better than the Samsung galaxy s 4g. But i cant say I love the wm7 mostly do with the strict boundaries Microsoft gave it. Such as needing a hack to even get into sdcard, playing only windows media files ect.. Though the home menu is very nice its the only thing.I cant wait for a port of android to really see what this device be a real piece of tech.
[HD7 General] Shkelqiim:
Really a great Phone :). I love it, i just want to install an Android on it :(, but that's still not possible...

Please reply here if u know any news about androids for HTC HD7... i can't even get Free apps :(

Plus I can't have a custom ringtone on my phone, WP7 needs a lot of updates.

Otherwise it's a great phone, i'd give it 8.8/10
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
Really love the phone and the OS is great and will be even better once Mango hit's the streets(by Oct. by the looks of things). My only real complaint about the phone was the very poor signal reception compared to my daughters Nokia Nuron and my wifes Moto Defy. But with the firmware/radio update that was pushed down the TMOUS HD7s yesterday that issue is gone. That plus the other little fixes this update did makes this phone awesome.

Bring on Mango.

Recently upgraded to iphone [to sell]

Put my micro sim in my phone until my normal sim arrived, once I got my normal sim and activated it I found I could longer make calls or send txts. But I can browse the web, very strange.

Currently my signal bar has an exclamation mark next to it, I’ve tried an Orange and T-Mobile sim which work absolutely fine, I have tried other O2 sims but get the same problem.

I’ve also tried flashing using task29, have tried radio’s 2.07.50, 2.10.50 and 2.12.50 and various different roms

Thanks in advance
