Is It Your Type Body The Three S's Touch

Nov 5, 2010, 8:03 PM by Philip Berne

The HTC HD7 is the biggest Windows Phone 7 device to launch Microsoft's new mobile OS. With a huge, 4.3-inch display, and a kickstand for support, does it measure up to the others?

Is It Your Type?

The HTC HD7 offers Windows Phone 7 in an extra-large package. With a huge, 4.3-inch screen and a kickstand to hold it up, the HD7 still follows the same formula as the other new WP7 phones. Is Microsoft's new mobile OS even more enjoyable living large, or should you stick with something smaller?

At Least This Phone has the right idea

So far in the line of new WP7 devices ... this HTC device seems to have a better idea. At least there is NO memory expansion ... similar to the iphone ... unlike the "expansion" on the other WP7 devices.
