Note: Unboxing video review will be post later today due to some technical error on my side. Thanks folks!
Update : Video is live! Check it out below. (:
Hey peeps! My sincere apology for taking such a long time to put up a post on the HTC HD7. I was really caught up with stuff and I was actually doing my first ‘documentary’ video on this phone. ( LOL ). Anyway, I am one of the 10 lucky selected #Maxis10 reviewer program on the this new sleek Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 powered Smartphone and I’ll be doing a full fledge review on this phone from a different perspective for the next 2 weeks.
Before i move into the Phone itself and the OS, lets have a look at the outlook of it and the bundled package. The phone spots a 4.3 inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 X 400 which is hmm.. pretty good if you ask me.
Well, with a screen size that BIG, i bet your mama wont even need to get a TV for you. Besides, there’s even a kickstand to allow you to place it on a table and watch videos!!! (Read : Buy this for your child and not a TV)
Yup! Thats a kickstand for you. The kickstand is made of metal and really supports your phone weight so be rest assured that your phone is not gonna crack like the ‘fruit’ phone. :p
If you’re gonna ask me how big is this 4.3inch screen.. well.. just look at the pic below.
This gives you guys a rough idea on how a 4.3inch screen looks like. From the left is a 7 inch Galaxy Tab, followed by 4.3inch HD7 and my 4inch Galaxy S and 3.2inch Ipod Touch. As for HD7, the screen is only a normal TFT screen as compared to Galaxy S which spots Super AMOLED and Ipod Touch’s Retina Display.
Give yourself a closer look, all the screen are of the SAME QUALITY if not better. Of course, this picture could not justify my statement, but trust me, although HD7 uses a normal TFT screen, the quality is comparable to that of SAMOLED (minus Retina Display of course) !
(Notice that only 2 phones load my blog fully. Both are of the same brand and on the same platform. Also notice which device cant even load my background. :p)
Moving on, this phone is really solid and feels good in your grip. Its not that thin and at the same time not that tick. It uses a standard micro USB for charging and synching files with your comp. 3.5inch audio in jack to fit any headphones you wish to use.
It has a teeney weeny power button on the top that is so small, you thought that was just for display. I mean come on HTC,…. i cant even press that button. It took me at least 5 tries to be able to press that. Only certain ways of holding it while pressing actually works. Most of the time, i just cant press. Talk about having big hands.. :’(
The speaker is located at the back of the phone as usual and is placed beside the camera. Honestly the speaker has really good treble and crisp sound, but low frequency (bass) output still lacks in this phone.
Oh wells…. 5MP camera with dual flash support that doubles up as a flash light and other normal stuff… yada yada yada… boring Nigel with his technology Jargons..
You guys must be screaming.. “Buzz off Nigel, i dont even get a single clue on what you’re talking….”
But here’s the best part….>>>
Ever get tired of the same old OS user interface out there… ?
How bout being annoyed of the 4 generations of the same old “Fruit” IOS UI?
Or maybe the boring old dull Android stock UI?
Or maybe, just maybe if you’re a loser, a phone that can only message and call…
And what if i tell you can throw that all away and get blown away by Animations, Simplicity, Stunning Graphics, Integrated applications and of course the 9th wonder of the world, Bill Gates ( LOL ). I present you :
Windows Phone 7
This is the latest Operating System for a phone, developed by our beloved Steve (Ballmer). Its a all new revamped piece of awesome coupled with speed and stability! I am really not talking about the greatness of this OS in terms of functionality but i am speaking in terms of EYE CANDY and Integration of apps!
This piece of beauty is full of animations and stunning graphics with cool sound effects. It will damn sure to attract you. I mean of course if in terms of functionality it serves no purpose, but heck who the hell care about function when you can feast your eyes with the sound of RAIN or BIRDS CHIRPING when viewing the current forecast weather! AM I RIGHT? (:
I wont go further on this and leave it on the next post and i promise you, you are gonna be blown away. Again i emphasizing on Graphics not Functionality. So get it right and be prepared to see some sexy eye candy!
