HTC smartphones with windows 7


HTC Titan II:
Sequels aren't always
that exciting, but when you take an
already popular and solid
smartphone and add exciting features
like LTE 4G and a whopping 16
megapixel camera, you've got our
attention. The second generation
Titan on AT&T still features a 4.7"
Super LCD and a 1.5GHz Snapdragon
CPU, but the exterior has gotten a
cosmetic lift with pleasing and un-
slippery soft touch finishes and a
curved chin with curved glass. The
Titan II has a front video chat camera,
and the usual WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS
and FM radio. But it's that big screen
and 16MP camera that really steal the
show.

HTC Titan HTC knows about livin'
large, after all they created the at the
time mammoth and ground breaking
HTC HD2 and HD7S. Now that big
phones are the trend, they've once
again made one of the largest screen
phones on the market: 4.7". The Titan
joins the Samsung Focus S and the
Samsung Focus Flash on AT&T as
their first wave of Mango
smartphones. It has a 1.5GHz
Snapdragon CPU, an excellent 8
megapixel rear camera and a front 1.3
megapixel video chat camera. Like the
Focus S and Focus Flash, it has HSPA+
4G 14.4 and the usual WiFi, Bluetooth
and a GPS that works with Bing Maps
and AT&T Navigator.

HTC Radar 4G:
The HTC Radar 4G is T-
Mobile's first Windows Phone 7.5
Mango smartphone. This is a second
generation Windows Phone with
middle of the road specs and a price
to match. It's $99 with contract and it
has a 1GHz second gen Qualcomm
Snapdragon CPU with 8 gigs of
storage and HSPA+ 4G. The phone
has a front video chat camera that
works with Tango and a rear 5
megapixel camera with a fast f2.2 lens
with an illuminated backlit sensor. This
is a video review.

HTC HD7S:
AT&T's fourth Windows 7
device comes almost 8 months after
they launched their intial trio of
Microsoft's completely new
smartphone lineup. The HD7 is an
improved version of T-Mobile's HD7
with an upgraded 4.3" Super LCD, a
tweaked 5 megapixel camera and the
"no do" OS update pre-installed. We
definitely love the large display for
gaming and video watching too with
the kickstand deployed. The HD7S is a
great Netflix phone, an impressive
XBOX gaming smartphone and it
handles music beautifully. Since it's a
Microsoft OS, you can count on MS
Exchange and a solid MS Office suite.
As always, we thoroughly enjoy the
Metro UI, and HTC's elegant and
robust industrial design.

HTC Trophy:
Verizon's first Windows 7
phone is solid: it has HTC's usual
elegant styling and good build quality,
world GSM roaming capabilities and
Redmond's new phone OS that we
really like. The Trophy has a 3.8", 800
x 480 capacitive touch screen, a 1GHz
CPU, 16 gigs of storage and a 5
megapixel camera. It has 3G on
Verizon along with WiFi 802.11b/g/n,
Bluetooth with A2DP stereo and a
GPS. Like all Windows Phone 7
smartphone, it has XBOX gaming and
Zune music and video services.

HTC Arrive:
Sprint's first Windows
Phone 7 smartphone is one of our
favorites. The hardware design and
quality are typical top-notch HTC and
the unique hinge is robust. The Arrive
runs the updated version of Windows
Phone 7 that adds copy and paste
along with a few other improvements,
and it has 3G EV-DO. Rev. A. Specs
are typical for the platform with a 1
GHz Snapdragon CPU, 16 gigs of
storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, a GPS and a 5
megapixel camera that can shoot
720p video. The Arrive has a 3.6"
display and a very good QWERTY
keyboard.

HTC Surround If you're an HTC fan
and an AT&T customer, you'll likely be
considering the Surround as your first
Windows 7 phone. The Surround
features HTC's usual excellent build
quality and stately design, but it's a
tad heavy and thicker than skinny
smartphones like the Samsung Focus
since it has a slider. No, it's not a
keyboard slider but rather a slider for
the stereo speaker bar amped up with
Dolby Virtual Mobile and SRS Wow. If
you want your Zune phone to sing it
loud to the masses, the Surround is
for you. Otherwise, it's your standard
Windows Phone 7 smartphone, and
that's not a bad thing given the high
baseline specs: 1 GHz Snapdragon
CPU, 16 gigs of storage, WiFi, 3G
HSDPA, Bluetooth, GPS and a 5
megapixel camera that shoots HD
video.

HTC HD7 The first Windows 7 phone
on T-Mobile has a lot in common with
the older HTC HD2 : it has a huge 4.3"
display, 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5
megapixel camera with autofocus lens
and dual LED flash and 16 gigs of
storage. The software similarities are
nil however, since the HD7 runs the
brand new, start from scratch,
Windows Phone 7 OS. The usual
niceties are here including a GPS that
works with Bing Maps and TeleNav,
WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth and an
FM radio. A good start for Windows
Phone 7 on T-Mobile.
