Windows Phone 7 is the big new operating system of the month and Microsoft is certainly pulling at all stops to make the launch as big as possible. Many are already hooked on the new layout and the dynamic user interface and HTC is no exception.
The phone brand whose name is almost synonymous with the Android operating system has also had a long history of partnership with Microsoft during the earlier Pocket PC days, and now with the launch of the WP7, HTC shows off that Windows expertise once again.
The biggest handset on the new HTC lineup is obviously the HTC HD7. As the name suggests, HD is the big keyword for this phone as it packs a nice big 4.3 inch WVGA capacitive touch screen display. It is able to record videos in 720p and of course, supports playback in high resolution as well. The phone runs on a 1GHz CPU and has an 8 mega pixel camera.
New to the HTC lineup is the HTC 7 Surround. The surround in the name stands for surround sound as the new phone brings in big speakers in a slide out compartment. While this is not exactly the kind of form factor we expected from HTC, it is an interesting surprise. The screen is smaller than the HD7 at 3.8 inches but it is definitely more media based than any other handset on the list.
The HTC Mozart is sticking true to its original spec sheet with its 3.7 inch touch screen display, 8 mega pixel camera and 1GHz CPU. This HTC handset has been seen a lot in leaked images.
Lastly, the HTC 7 Trophy –this device basically stands as the most basic device in the entire set. In terms of hardware it fits the minimum spec requirements given by Microsoft, but aside from that, there is nothing else particularly noteworthy about the device.
