The HTC HD7, which has been chilling out on T-Mobile the last couple of months, has crawled its way north of the border into Canada, and found refuge from the elements in Bell Mobility’s retail igloo. Bell is claiming the exclusive on the HTC HD7, and selling it for $99.95 on a three-year contract, or $599.99 with no strings attached. The HD7 is the second Windows Phone to hit Bell, following on the LG Optimus Quantum.
This bad boy has a big ol’ 4.3-inch WVGA display, 1 GHz snapdragon processor, 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, 16 GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, and 3G. The HD7 also has a kickstand so you can experience the Dolby surroundsound built into the back of the phone. Since it runs Windows, the HD7 will also play nice with your Xbox and home PC really well, which is important if you’re slinging a lot of media back and forth.
We’ve had a bit of hands-on time with the T-Mobile version, where Will noticed that the ginormous screen provided for a much easier to use virtual keyboard. Windows Phone still a young platform, but with Microsoft buying their way into developers’ (and possibly manufacturers’) hearts, I could see the app selection and OS features improving very quickly.
