HTC HD7 to be Available via T-Mobile; 4.3-inch Phone to Come Pre-loaded with Netflix, T-Mobile TV, Xbox LIVE, Zune
T-Mobile USA has announced the upcoming launch of the HTC HD7 that runs on the Windows Phone 7, Microsoft’s new mobile operating system. The handset clubs mobile multimedia features with a 4.3-inch touch display, the largest screen available on a Windows Phone in the US. The HD7 is also the first phone from T-Mobile to be built on Windows Phone 7, which helps deliver an integrated experience on the HTC HD7 through Windows Phone Hubs. Hubs essentially bring together a related set of applications, services and content into a single view to simplify common tasks.
This phone has done away with common icon displays on the screen. Instead Windows Phone 7 uses Live Tiles that allow customers to find out the latest updates without having to open an application.
