We last penned down an article about HTC when it made an appearance in the Indian market with its Incredible S smartphone. The company has now collaborated with Telstra to unleash its HTC HD7 smartphone for users across the Australian realm.
Adorned by a vibrant 4.3-inch 480 x 800 resolution touchscreen, the unit leverages the viewing experience with its incorporated flipout kickstand. Offering an easy-to-use interface, the HTC HD7 runs efficiently on the Windows Phone 7 operating system. Photo enthusiasts can capture crisp and detailed images using the integrated 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash. Users can also record 720p HD video with utmost ease.
“We are pleased to announce the HTC HD7 will be available exclusively on the Telstra Next G Network in March,” remarked Ben Hodgson, Country Manager, HTC Australia and New Zealand. “HTC has shown strong leadership in developing Windows based devices in the past, illustrating our ability to be first-to-market. The HTC HD7 continues along this tradition with its focus on providing the ultimate multimedia experience coupled with a nice simple user interface and access to a broad range of useful applications.”
Gamers can immerse themselves in an uplifted Xbox Live gaming experience. Users can refresh old memorable moments by viewing images from their camera, Facebook and Windows Live accounts in the Pictures hub. In addition, Music and Videos Hub driven by Zune enables individuals to access custom playlists, listen to the radio as well as podcasts. The audio quality is enhanced with the HTC Surround Sound technology.
“HTC HD7 arrives at a time when Aussies are increasingly turning to their smartphones for entertainment and gaming,” commented Andrew Volard, Director, Telstra Mobility Products. “They’re going to love the HTC HD7’s huge screen for playing video or streaming YouTube. Its snappy performance and access to a growing catalogue of Xbox Live games also makes a really exciting games platform. And perhaps most importantly for our customers, the HTC HD7 is really simple to use with the Windows Phone 7 operating system making navigation, composing email and accessing information incredibly easy.”
Apart from all this, HTC Sense with HTC Hub includes location aware HTC Sense tile with weather, stocks, weather, flashlight, calculator, notes, sound enhancer, photo enhancer and convertor. It also comes along with attentive phone feature which comprises pocket mode, quiet ring on pickup, flip to mute and flip for speaker.
