One of the world's first smartphones using the
Windows Phone 7 operating system, the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile pairs rich
mobile multimedia features with a 4.3-inch touch display--the largest
screen available on a Windows Phone in the U.S. Its size not only gives
you an extra-large virtual keyboard, but also allows you to enjoy your
favorite videos and movies in cinematic style. It's also powered by a
blazing-fast Qualcomm 1 GHz Snapdragon processor for a fast mobile data
experience.

The
HTC HD7 delivers advanced phone features including GPS functionality
with access to turn-by-turn navigation from TeleNav GPS Navigator, 16 GB
of internal memory, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash,
and HD 720p video recording. Other features include Wireless-N Wi-Fi
networking, Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming,
and a 1230 mAh battery for extended use while on the go.
Enabled
for T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, the HTC HD7 offers fast data
delivery and an enhanced Web-browsing experience that lets you connect
quickly to social networking sites. And the 3G-enabled HTC HD7 will
benefit from the enhanced speeds of T-Mobile's upgraded HSPA+ network,
which is being rolled out nationwide to reach up to 200 million people
by the end of the year and offers speeds close to 4G connectivity (read
more about HSPA+ below).
The Power of Windows Phone 7
The
Windows Phone 7 operating system has been carefully crafted to help you
get more done in fewer steps with a unique Hub and Tile interface.
Instead of the common icon displays on the screen, Windows Phone 7 uses
Live Tiles, which allow you to find out what's going on, what's
happening next, and what they've missed without having to open an
application.
Hubs
bring together a related set of applications, services and content into
a single view to simplify common tasks. Your contacts, music, games,
and work can be shared, synced, and accessed virtually wherever you
happen to be. Windows Phone 7 also integrates with many popular
Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, Windows Live, Bing, and Zune.
Live
tiles on the start screen dynamically update, so there is no need to
open an app, and you decide the tiles you want and where you want them.
The start screen includes the People hub, which constantly refreshes
with status updates from your favorite friends. The Me tile lets you
update all your social media sites, like Facebook--just type once and
post everywhere with ease. Other tiles allow you to quickly see new
e-mails arrive in your inbox, play games via Xbox LIVE, and access
recent photos and albums to view as well share with others. Swipe up to
view more tiles like music, Office, and more.
In addition to
Internet Explorer 8 for full HTML Web browsing, the HTC HD7 also
includes fully integrated Microsoft Exchange e-mail and calendar as well
as Office Hub, which offers mobile versions of popular productivity
programs, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
PowerPoint, OneNote, and SharePoint Workspace.
With Windows
Phone 7 you can stay on top of your inbox and quickly cut through the
clutter to see only unread, urgent, or flagged messages. Move or delete
messages in bulk, and respond to meeting invites right from your inbox
with Outlook Mobile. Streamlined account setup works with Windows Live,
Google, Yahoo!, and other popular providers. Windows Phone 7 also
combines your work and personal calendars in a single, color-coded view,
making it easier to spot conflicts and manage your life.
Microsoft
Office Mobile is another reason you won't miss your PC when you're away
from your desk. Windows Phone 7 has mobile versions of Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint on hand for reviewing or editing on the go. Notes in OneNote
Mobile--grocery lists, meeting memos, spontaneous musings--can sync
wirelessly to the web and include voice clips and pictures. SharePoint
Workspace Mobile makes it easier to collaborate with your coworkers when
you're out and about.
You'll also be able to personalize your
phone with the Marketplace hub. Read reviews, check out ratings, and
test out content before you buy.

application exclusively from T-Mobile that helps families keep in touch
and manage their busy lives. You can write a note on a virtual

T-Mobile Services
High-Speed Data Connectivity via T-Mobile's 3G Network In
addition to its quad-band GSM connectivity, this phone is also
compatible with T-Mobile's UMTS/HSDPA 3G network, which operates on the
1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum. This phone is designed to automatically
connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide
faster data speeds when accessing the Web.
In areas where the
3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the
via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for
Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access
technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data
services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full
picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and
e-mail on the go.
While this phone is optimized for use with
T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, many of its functions will also work
well on the moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the
Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you
best.
T-Mobile's New, Expanding Super-Fast HSPA+ Network As
of June, 2010, T-Mobile has upgraded its traditional 3G network to
HSPA+ in 25 major metropolitan areas across the U.S., and it plans to
continue rolling out this network upgrade to over 100 metropolitan
cities and up to 185 million people by the end of 2010. HSPA+ provides
our fastest data speeds, up to 3 times faster than AT&T and
Verizon's standard 3G networks, while allowing simultaneous voice and
data capabilities for the ultimate wireless voice and data experience.
HSPA+
enabled areas will enjoy 4G-like speeds, with a theoretical capability
of up to 21 Mbps peak download speeds (and typical download speeds
averaging between 5 and 8 Mbps).
While this 3G-enabled mobile
phone doesn't offer HSPA+ compatibility, it can benefit from enhanced
speeds when connecting to the HSPA+ network today.
