HD7 HTC, Windows Mobile Phone 7 for further analysis (I)

We begin our analysis of the HD7 HTC, launched in October with a few companions. HD7 The main feature is its screen, 4.3 inches and the height of the Android competition that occurs with the Desire HD, HTC and also we have already discussed. Another major differences HTC HD7 is, as its name suggests, your operating system: Windows Phone 7.

The evolution of Microsoft has proven to be fast, effective and rival the height of competition, where everyone seems to be looking at Apple IOS. WP7 moves very well on the HD7. This analysis of the HD7 HTC will be distributed in two installments. In this first talk about their technical characteristics, appearance, and its screen, leaving for the next part of an analysis and first impressions of the operating system, the new Windows Phone 7.

These are the technical characteristics of HTC HD7: Following the path of HTC in recent years, the HTC HD7 is no exception and brings a great design, both forms, curves and colors and the materials of its construction. The front houses such 4.3-inch screen, surrounded by a very small black frame.

Above is a small speaker hidden status LED that illuminates when the battery charge (orange if you continue charging and green when it is above 90% charge) or for certain notices, such as when we missed a call yet . Below, the three touch buttons that fit perfectly with the rest of the terminal: back, button Windows (Home) and search.

There are other buttons on the right side and top, all silver, but plastic and used to control volume and terminal block. One drawback is that to use these last three buttons need to press exactly on a specific site within the long surface of each button, and may be somewhat uncomfortable.

At the bottom are the charger (microUSB, prepared for the European standard) and microphone. The left side of the terminal is completely free from buttons of any kind. Finally, the rear is where most highlights. It is made of hard plastic with dark gray, very tough but also can be removed easily.

This cover leaves the logical hole camera (5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash) and now. Behind her, the battery and SIM card. The back cover does not occupy the entire terminal, but a good part of it. Below, after the Windows logo Phone 7, the antenna will not have that access. One of the big differences HD7 HTC compared to other phones is the screen.

It was logical. Its size is the biggest market, 4.3 inches and with resolution 800 x 480 pixels. We speak of a capacitive panel that works very well and responds perfectly to our gestures. In my experience I must say that is the most efficient on the market, along with the screens of the iPhone, for any small gesture that we make with our fingers involves an immediate response from the operating system.

It is precisely the operating system, Windows Phone 7, one of the perpetrators of the operation of the screen is so good: the transitions between the different applications are continuous, not broken as in other devices. We have the HTC HD7 one of the screens on the market to better respond.

Regarding size, 4.3 inches, a priori may seem large but in reality it is not so. At least for my use has not been a troublesome size, although it is true that after a certain time with the HD7, when you come to another smaller terminal (3.5-inch iPhone or Nexus One of 3.7) will notice those few inches of difference : everything is very small compared with the HTC HD7.

This display brings a number of effects: the negative is that some pockets are small for the terminal, and sure many will notice the 162 grams. The positive is that some functions very significantly improved, as the keyboard (one of the most comfortable we've had in our hands) or video playback, more comfortable than in other terminals.
