Windows Phone 7 Phones – What Are Your Options?
Microsoft has made an impressive effort to become the dominant smartphone operating system with its introduction of the Windows Phone 7 OS, which replaces the beaten and battered Windows Mobile, which has been effectively removed from the smartphone market. Several other operating systems have taken the limelight from Microsoft in this very competitive market. Several high quality smartphones now employ Windows Phone 7, making this operating system very desirable. Three smartphones that run Windows Phone 7 are discussed below.
HTC HD7 – HTC introduced this model to replace the HD2, which ran the Windows Mobile operating system. The HTC HD7 utilizes a 4.3 inch LCD screen with a cool little kick-stand built in for easy viewing of movies at a table or desk. The battery is a 3.7V 1,230 mAh, which is only rated for 6.5 hours of talk time; less time than many in its class. There is 16 GB of built in storage on this unit, and the camera is a 5 mega-pixel auto-focus camera designed for either still pictures or 720p HD video.
Samsung Omnia 7 – The Omnia 7 was introduced by Samsung as their Windows Phone 7 offering. This unit boasts a 4 inch AMOLED touch-screen display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution, which is a standard on all of the Windows Phone 7 units. This phone has the good solid feel of a substantial piece of smartphone hardware due to its metallic body and solid design. A 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 8250 chipset runs this phone and its connectivity options include GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This phone also has a popular FM radio and its autofocus camera is of the 5 mega-pixel persuasion.
LG Optimus 7 – Very similar to the Samsung, the LG Optimus also offers the 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset, but this unit has a slightly smaller AMOLED screen which comes in at 3.8 inches. As with other Windows Phone 7 units, the Optimus 7 has GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. The body of this phone is a mix of metal and plastic. This phone also has a 5 mega-pixel camera capable of HD recording. The metal back plate and slim design give this phone a good solid feel.
