We know that the HTC 7 Pro will be bringing Windows Phone 7 to Sprint and other CDMA devices but we haven’t got a good look at the device until now. The Unwired has snagged a bunch of high-quality shots of this QWERTY-sporting smartphone.
The HTC Pro 7 has been spotted on Germany’s website, so it shouldn’t be too long before it’s commercially available on CDMA networks around the globe. It sports a 3.6-inch WVGA capacitive display, WiFi, a slide-out 5-row QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, GPS and a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash that can also supposedly record 720p HD video.
Of course, the star of the show is the Windows Phone 7 operating system. This is Microsoft’s latest attempt to gain some traction in the booming smartphone space and many of us at IntoMobile dig the platform.
We have an exhaustive review already but here’s the gist:
For most people, WP7 will be a fantastic alternative to iPhone and Android. You can sync all your emails (with full HTML compatibility) and let you know when you have unread email sitting in your inbox. You can browse the full web with the kind of multi-touch pinch-zooming interaction that iPhone, Android and webOS users have been enjoying for years. You get quick, easy access to information from your social networks. You can use the Microsoft Office hub to do some serious work done. You’ll enjoy a new UI that is a fresh departure from the app-based iPhone and Android UIs – flat, artsy tiles and incredibly crisp text. And, to top it all off, you get unrivaled integration with Xbox Live and your Zune Pass.
But, here’s the kicker, if you’re the kind of power user that needs apps like Twitter to continue running in the background, relies heavily on Google services (Google Calendar, Google Contacts), and can’t do without a unified inbox, WP7 may not be for you. For those of you that fall into this group, make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into.
