HTC HD7 unboxed: photos!

We’ve already got hands on with the HTC HD7 at Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 launch event, but that’s not enough for us. No. We went out and procured a HTC HD7 of our very own to play with outside the confines of a sweaty press event. Wanna see it coming out of its carton? Read on for the photos.

We’ve nabbed one of the very first HTC HD7 handsets in the country for a full review coming soon, but before we do, we thought you might like to snack on some hands on photos some more. It’s a noticeably glossier version of the HTC HD2 on the hardware side of things, with an impressively slim but sturdy kickstand on the back, and touch sensitive buttons in place of the physical keys below the HD2′s similarly sized display. That said, we don’t blame HD2 owners for feeling miffed at the lack of a Windows Phone 7 update – it really is only a modest upgrade, OS aside. But hey, don’t fix what ain’t broke right?

Have a look at the HTC HD7 here, and check out all the details with our HTC HD7 review: first impressions post.

    The HD2 isn't getting a WP7 update because all WP7 handsets have to have the Windows Phone buttons. This has been known since the OS was first unveiled.

      Yup, but it's still a crushing blow for people who may have a WinMo phone just a few months old. Bring on the hacks!

        Have to draw a line somewhere, though. Any connection with WinMo would tarnish WP7 from the off.
