Smartphones are getting smarter with each passing day. With successful platforms like Android, Blackberry and iOS, phone manufacturers are looking forward to present new and improved operating systems. U.S. Cellular has launched the new HTC 7 Pro Windows smartphone for multi-tasking, multi-media and gaming enthusiasts. The phone is said to be their first foray into Windows 7 platform.
The HTC 7 Pro is a suitable smartphone for users who like both work and play. The start screen displays animated live tiles that show pending messages, appointments, news, and weather along with game and friend status. These updates are refreshed through web. Users can view, edit, share and sync Office documents on the move with Windows Office applications. With the Pro’s 3.6 inch tilted touchscreen and slide out QWERTY keyboard, texting, e-mailing and social media updates become quicker and easier.
“We have the phones that our customers want to help simplify their busy lives and have fun too,” mentioned Edward Perez, vice president of sales and marketing operations for U.S. Cellular. “Customers who switch to U.S. Cellular also get new phones faster without having to continuously sign contracts.”
The phone is integrated with digital compass, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 5.0 megapixel camera with flash. The Xbox Live feature allows gamers to enjoy their favorite video games on the phone. Movie and music enthusiasts can tap their feet to the tunes of the built-in FM radio and they can access to NetFlix, Zune and many other apps. It packs in voluminous 16GB internal memory.
The HTC 7 Pro is available at U.S. Cellular for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Purchase of a data plan is required along with a new two-year agreement and activation fee.
