It’s a mere few hours from the end of the month, and once again it’s time for our roundup of mobile reviews – a trot through all the phones we’ve ran our collective rules over during November. Nokia, LG, HTC, BlackBerry and Motorola – the gang’s all here, so if you’re thinking of splashing some pre-Chrimbo cash on a new handset, read on…
Now that the flurry of excitement over Windows Phone 7 is over, and the verdicts are in for all devices, we though it about time to pit the three HTC devices against one another in a stat clash. Are you thinking of buying a HTC Windows Phone 7, but can’t decide between the big screen of the HTC HD7, the budget HTC 7 Trophy or the HTC 7 Mozart? Click through for a full stat clash of all three Windows Phone 7 HTC devices…
The HTC 7 Trophy is one of the only Windows Phone 7 handsets you can grab for free on a contract of less than £30 a month, but with a 1GHz processor and 3.8-inch screen, this is no low-end smartphone. We test its chops in our full HTC 7 Trophy review.
The HTC HD7 is the O2 exclusive, cousin to the HTC Desire HD, Windows Phone 7 launched on Monday. Earlier in the week, we asked you which Windows Phone 7 was on the top of your shopping list, and the HTC HD7 came out tops by a mile. 30 per cent of you wanted the HTC HD7 over and above any other device.
We’ve seen all the Windows Phone 7 launch devices now, from Dell, HTC, Samsung and LG. We’ve snapped them from every angle, pored over spec sheets and stared at their variously sized screens. So, two days in, which device have you lusted over? Which do you want most? The snazzy slide out speaker on the North America-only HTC 7 Surround? The super screen size on the HTC HD7? Or the supremely 80s Dell Vue Pro? Click and tell…
The HTC 7 Trophy Windows Phone 7 blower was announced as a Vodafone exclusive here in the UK yesterday, but as ever, eXpansys is on hand to loosen the definition of the word. It’s already listing the HTC 7 Trophy phone – which packs a 3.8-inch touchscreen, 8GB of storage and 5MP camera – for pre-order, priced SIM-free at £429.99, and with a delivery date of 2 November.
We’re actually surprised that other than the HTC 7 Trophy, there don’t seem to be any other Windows Phone 7 handsets going the same way just yet, but we’ll keep an eye out for you, if years of Android and iPhone refreshes have convinced you to stay out of contract.
If you’ve been away from your desk for the last day, you’ve missed out on an awful lot. Microsoft outed Windows Phone 7 yesterday and we were there live, checking out all the new phones on the way and updates to come. Catch it all – plus the latest gadget news from elsewhere too – here in our techie breakie roundup.
HTC has announced five Windows Phone 7 devices, three of which are launched today. These are the HTC 7 Mozart, the HTC 7 Trophy, and the HTC HD7. The fourth device, the HTC 7 Pro, will be arriving before Christmas, and features a flip out QWERTY keyboard. The HTC 7 Surround is an exclusive smartphone for North America, and has a slide out speaker. Yep, slide out speaker. And we won’t get near it here in the UK.
