Also, do you think it'll be "hackable" in the near future? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest element332 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Do you have the O2 or unbranded HTC version of the HD7..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R0K2puZ Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Hey Paul, thanks for doing this :) -Is the screen noticeably dull compared to the Galaxy S (Super AMOLED) or even the SLCD Desire? -Are there any notable HTC customizations on WP7? -Have you had a poke around for a possibility of a root/jailbreak?

Guest Aanuka Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi Paul. I'm a resident in Sweden, and according to the news we got is that the HD7 won't be on sale here. You don't happened to have any information about unlocked HD7s being sold at all? About the screen, some people say it's a regular LCD; some say it's S-LCD, any clue what it is? This topic has been up about the Desire HD and we then have been told that there is no 4.3" S-LCD due to the cost. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gerald.D Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey Paul - Would really appreciate it if you could investigate how access to the marketplace is controlled. Is it by SIM, credit card location, or by some other method? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi Paul, Can you confirm whether or not it supports external storage? Also, do you think it'll be "hackable" in the near future? :) Yes, I can confirm it does NOT support external storage. Bearing in mind there's no microSD slot, I don't see it being hacked in any time soon! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Had to be asked :)) - It's SLCD I believe, so it stands up well against the desire. It's noticeably 'different' to the SAMOLED Samsung. The default black theme of WP7 real looks awesome on the OLED. - Yeah, a HTC Hub with a few HTC apps in. No customisations at the top layer (nobody is allowed). - No. :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest element332 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks Paul. Any news on unbranded HTC availability.? Is that going to be 21st as well..? Is your HD7 locked..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mardox Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 According to specs the HD7 seems to be running an outdated snapdragon platform, what are your thought upon this considering the newer gen snapdragon devices are already shipping? And WP7 being based on a black background, how do the blacks look on the non-amoled screen? Thanks Paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it's technically outdated, but it's still a pretty awesome chipset. Blacks on the non amoled screen look like they always do... dark grey. :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey there paul :) How's the screen? Just like the HD2 screen I guess, or the Desire HD screen. Big and nice. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 How are you finding the live tiles? I wonder what the basic bandwith usage will be if it is constantly going to ping to check for updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thelondonthing Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 How are you finding the live tiles? I wonder what the basic bandwith usage will be if it is constantly going to ping to check for updates. Indeed, I was wondering this myself. Between the live tiles constantly updating, the photos, contacts, calendar and messages syncing with the cloud, streaming of Zune music on the move, plus regular usage of internet and emails, I can't imagine that the paltry 1GB of data that is included with standard tariffs is going to come close to being sufficient every month. I can see some pretty chunky data billing come my way in the not-too-distant future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muncheese Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 When are you gonna send it to me? =P Multi point digitizer or the old 2000 series digitizer? Say the former, say the former, say the former.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the HD7 (along with some other Windows Phone 7 Devices) are shipping with a MSM8250 Snapdragon which is the 2nd Gen Snapdragon (Identical too MSM8255 which you find in Desire HD). Can you shed any light Paul? Edited October 11, 2010 by Aanuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanWilson Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey P, Big question, which truck driver did you have to point a gun at to get an HD7? And do you have extras? Might wean me off Android. Doubt it, but I could sell it and get a Desire Z. And buy Modaco Ad-Free / Plus. And you know you want my money :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru.meditation Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Probably a bit early to tell if you've just got it, but how's the battery life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlessandroIT Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 As for the UI and mainly for the browser, does it feel as smooth as iOS? What happens in the browser when a flash animation is displayed? Does it lag as android do, or not? I'm lovin this new WP7.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keepcon Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi Paul Now that you have the HD7 in your hands Can you confirm that the ability to tether to PC for data sharing has been removed Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
