Superb man!!! all the best and lemme know ur experience!!
I would recommand you wait it out.
If you are ready to Shell out 25-26k
You rather Get the Galaxy S or Nexus S comes to around Rs. 27,500
better functionality .better features.
If you are only interested in Screen size then go for the HD7.
Nothing is really good as far as Im concerned.
So please do your research before purchase.
(Im currently regretting it)
Honestly, i dont see any point in waiting its not like the hardware is going to get better. Microsoft is releasing an update to Windows phone 7 at the end of the month that makes the phone even faster, preserves battery life and adds copy and paste among others.
Theyve done a really good job for a 1.0 OS release, however it is clear that there are several small features missing(like msg forwarding). If this isnt going to hinder you too much i would urge you to go with the hd7
Dont be swayed by the emergence of dual core phones, there are no dual core ready apps yet, and that will take time.
As for the HD7, it has the biggest screen out there, and it is really really fast. I love the responsive UI and the front panel which actually looks quite subtle and modest(as opposed to the flashy samsung omnia which looks gaudy).
Sorry for the delayed reply.

Hey thanx for ur reply...But I have a little disconnect with your opinion of Omnia. I honestly think that the colours on Omnia 7 are bright and colourful and HD7 lacks that.
Look at this pic:
http://gallery.me.com/o.khademi/100025/HD7 v O7/web.jpg?ver=12896154820001
The fuschia pink looks like fuschia pink on the Omnia. But on the HD7 it looks like baby pink.
And this is the case with all the reviews I have seen on YouTube and elsewhere.
So I think I have changed my mind and am mostly going to but Omnia 7 (WHEN it hits India that is).
But thanx anyways.

I'm sorry but nothing works in India. Whenever I try to use/download an app through zune or through marketplace on the handphone....I get the message that this feature is not available in your country.
Zune suggested making another live account in the US & asked me to change my region/location on my PC....even that did not work. Dunno why did they launch this phone in India.
I simply hate what they have done with WMP7 in the process of trying to mimic iPhone. Even iPhone users have access/connectivity to outlook & this does not have it. I was a hardcore user of windows phone for the last maybe 15 odd years, but not after this. Cannot sync with outlook, cannot copy excel files, cannot browse the phone for files directly, cannot customize stuff etc. etc. Better to go with iPhone or any other phone than with WMP7.
Just my 2 bit along with some facts.

hey dude...I got my HD7 and believe me, everything works like a charm.
Here is one thing you have to keep in mind: MAKE Sure all all the accounts have the country as 'US (United States)' May it be your phone's country, your Live account's country, your computer's country...
Try resetting your phone (u might lose data) and when on the next startup it asks (it asked me and I was clever to click US) just click on United States...everything else will follow...
Cheers! Hope I was helpful...PM me if you have any questions...

HTC has actually launched these phones in India before Microsoft has launched WP7 here, hence the problems.
If you have everything set to U.S. accounts, it works perfectly. I've had my TMoUS HD7 (which I picked up back home in NY) on Vodafone in Mumbai since November.
guys,
got one in dec for 15K on Craigslist from the US.. T-mobile.. since it is us, i can even use all market apps here.. couldnt be happier...
I have got a T-Mobile branded HD7 and wanted to know if any of you guys have tried 3G on HD7 (T-Mobile)?
HD7
Hows the overall build quality ?
Hows the Music and VIdeo quality also ?
ANd hows the Battery life also ?

Build quality's pretty solid. Just a slight notch below the HD2, but still almost on par with the best in the industry.
Audio's pretty good (download HTC's Sound Enhancer app and you can enable SRS Enhancement- makes a big difference) and video's great (as you'd expect on such a large screen). The screen's not quite as eye-popping as the AMOLED or Super LCD panels in some other WP7/Android phones, but I still prefer having the larger screen size.
Battery life is about average for a big smartphone. I typically charge it at night, so as long as it lasts for a full day of moderate to heavy use (which it does), it's fine for me. If I forget to charge, it'll last through most of a second day (of light use).
I bought a HD7 two days ago and am having serious buyers remorse every time I go into threads looking into the future of the device ranging from roms to regular apps.
I have a touch pro 2 as well as an HD2. I bought the HD7 for 150$ and its Tmo branded, I already RSPL'd it and am on Deep Shining I just want to know everyones opinion on the future of the phone.
Any help on reaching a decision is appreciated.
i came from Touch Pro2, as well. why the buyers' remorse with HD7?

I'm not saying the phone is bad it looks really really nice the reason I am having buyer's remorse is because of the future of the phone. I keep seeing threads where people have given up on the phone and about future roms/apps.
That's really the only problem I have, just cant tell how long the phones legs will be for the future compared to the TP2 and the HD2.

the HD7 will be getting confirmed updates through to Apollo, aka WP8.
no sure what apps you can't find, but i have found every app i have needed/wanted.
Windows Phone is still in its infancy, it will only get better with age.

really, already? i am available for an upgrade, but i am waiting for WP8 and HD screens.
See thats what I mean. Lots of people are leaving the phone so fast, I barely got the phone and have an upgrade in Feb.
I was just wondering if it would be better to just return it and wait till Feb/March for a better phone.

i am not sure why, either.
only advantage the HTC Titan has is better camera(s)/cpu, i find the large screen a disadvantage because of the resolution.
all the Nokia phones have only the cpu going for it, everything else is lame compared to HD7.
Was decidng to take it back to the store and look for the phone on craigslist but even there almost noone has the phone! I barely find a handful of people with the phone but everyone is trying ot sell that Evo 3D.
I am thinking returning the phone and just lurking craigslist for the phone but I dont know if people will be selling it or if it will die off quickly which it seems to have done.
Hello xda community!
I recently broke the screen on my current android phone, and decided instead of replacing the screen, I would buy a new phone.
I have been researching various windows phones because I love their UI so much.
I found the HD7 on amazon for $240 refurbished, and I love the overall look and feel of the phone.
Before deciding to commit to my purchase, I came here to ask about the phone itself.
Is this phone worth it? Does it have a good dev community?
Or do you reccomend another windows phone?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
i think that its a very good phone.
before you buy it, just check the model number?HSPL????
if you cant install cotulla HSPL and then rom dont bother with it !
iam still waiting for HSPL... for mine, actually iam doing back to the HD2 as (looks) like all problems have been fixed,
cheers
i love the phone. it is my favorite purchase from 2011.
even if i could pick up the Titan or the Radar for the price i got my HD7, i would still go for the HD7.
size is right. Titan is too big, Radar is too small.
removable battery, unlike the Radar.
only three things i wished the HD7 had: physical keyboard, higher resolution screen (not yet, available, though) & newer [read: more power efficient] cpu.
also, i find the HD7 community to be larger then the other WP7 devices' communities.

i have a spare htc hd7, bought it from tmobile and its updated to mango 7.5 and is sim unlocked. im considering selling it because its a spare phone, if you are interested let me know. BTW its a great phone if you want to see if the OS is for you ^_^ tnx
Get the HD7. All of the big WP7 Development just happens to be centering around the HD7 resulting in dozens of custom roms to choose from.. The kick-stand is a very small feature, but it has proven to be extremely useful.. When showing friends a video it's much easier to be able to set the phone down and watch it like a mini-tv of sorts.. If it were up to me, all future phones would have the HD7 design, the only thing I'm willing to change are the internal components, (CPU, Memory, etc)
I suggest getting the HD7.
Hi guys i am also thinking of getting one i know how to check hspl and versions but with which one i will be to use custom roms, from what i've read so far 1. 2. 3. are flashable others 4. and 5. require downgrade if not halfbricked by now... i got really lost with all that info can anyone provide what should be a valid id of hd7 so i don't get a brick ... Thanks

I don't care a whole lot about ringtones..and not sure why it would be hard to change.
Im planning to purchase this phone from Amazon for 200$ used, as soon as I acquire funds for it.
Not sure if I should spend the extra 40$ for a refurbished/new one.
Luckily this phone is T-Mobile native, and I can just pop my sim card in.
Plan on seeing me in this community soon!

I'm looking at getting a cheap HD7 as well.
I'm currently using my HD2 flashed with WP7 mango and have to say I'm quite enjoying the WP7 experience. It just works and I don't feel I have to spend lots of time tweaking like I did when I had Android on the HD2.
But there are a couple of things I'd like to confirm before I get one.
1) My main issue with the HD2 is battery, is the battery life on the HD7 likely to be better than the 10ish hours max I get on my HD? (A few short phone calls, hourly calendar/mail sync, bit of internet/market with wifi OFF but bluetooth on)
2) I will want to flash with a custom ROM so to unlock the sideloading of apps etc, from what I've read to do this easily I need to ensure the bootloader is 4.x or below. Is this correct?
Thanks
as the title asks... what are you doing with your Schubert now that WP8 is available for purchase? or will be shortly.
will you be upgrading to WP8 and tossing your Schubert into a drawer?
will you be holding onto your Schubert?
just curious what everybody is going to do.
I love my Schubert it's an awesome device...best, no baddest @$$ phone I've ever had and I just got a brand new replacement through insurance.
With WP8 launching and my contract up in Jan, I'm due for an upgrade and I'm with T-Mobile, so I will be getting a HTC WP8X device.
Hopefully (fingers crossed) by Jan there will be some level of development on the 8X... Seems like HTC devices have the easiest bootloaders to unlock, but with WP8 and all the new security measures that MS is taking who knows. Maybe with the new leaked WP8 roms devs can get a better feel for how it works and get a jump on it.
For my Shcubert though... My wife has an Android device and I want to migrate her from that and into my HD7. She would be far better off with that device than her buggy and always crashing Android. Plus it would be nice to see it get used and by someone who would appreciate it and T-Mobile is doing the unlimited talk, text and web off contract now for $50 a month it makes it a great and affordable device for her.
I've only had this for a short while,and will keep using it until it packs in. And when it eventually dies I'll be looking a Lumia 920 or an 8X,and hopefully by that time there'll be a good second hand market for a WP8 device.

glad to hear you were able to get your replacement device. wish my HD7 was under warrantly; my HD7 is slowly going... i wouldn't hold your breath for a breakthrough in WP8 for a long while, yet.

unsure what "packs in" means... i, too, won't be making the move until the second hand market for WP8 devices is cheap enough. though, on ebay, the Windows Phone 8X by HTC is nicely priced.
...cut short on time, to be more descriptive, etc with my response...
'Packs in' means breaks. Had a look on EBay there, the 8X is far to expensive for me at the minute (avg. £450),so will wait the 5-6 months I think it'll take for the second had price to be around the £200 mark.

Yeah I was lucky on getting my replacement. Sorry to hear about yours though, such a good device too!
Now that the WP8 devices are out and in the stores and I've had a chance to look at them in person... I'm leaning more towards the Nokia Lumia 810. In person the screen on the 810 looks better than the 8X and the 810 has a removable battery and you can upgrade the storage, it can take up to a 64gb SD card and possibly larger, we'll have to wait and see on that though. Plus I really like the Nokia Drive and City Lens apps, which I use frequently on my HD7. I can get a better deal on the 810 than the 8X, $99 compared to $199.

i just ordered a replacement battery for my HD7. hopefully that helps...
noticed a ribbon cable or something now covers the 3.5mm jack. haven't bothered with it, though; I don't use it.
i like the Lumia 810 compared to the Lumia 820, but i must say, that phone is huge; bigger than the HD7.
i like the Windows Phone 8X, but its lack of replace-able battery puts me off. also, lack of microSD slot is a bummer.
also, i buy my phones off-contract. my carrier doesn't need to know what device i have, plus the overall cost is lower in the long run.
Hopefully that will help!
Funny that you mention that... On my old HD7 I had noticed a strip of a ribbon protruding into the 3.5mm jack too, although I have 2000 + songs on mine and connect it to my car stereo quite frequently. Haven't noticed it yet on the new device though.
I'm a HTC fan but the non-removable battery and no microSD card slot was a real deal breaker on the 8X for me. I think HTC dropped the ball on that one... All WP8 devices should have a microSD card slot and I'm not sure what they were thinking with the non-removal battery, other than a short life span of the device, which means buy a new one.
Both the 8X and 810 are pretty large devices, but the 8X is definitely lighter. At least the 810 doesn't feel like a brick in your hand like the 920.
I do agree it's definitely cheaper to buy one out right or slightly used and be off contact in the long run. This has been my first fully contract device and it's had it's ups and downs. The monthly bill sucks, but I'm at the end of my contract and I just got a brand new HD7, that i will pass onto my wife and I can activate it on T-Mobile monthly with unlimited talk, text and web for $50. That's not bad, I almost ended my 2yr contract to switch over to that but I wanted to get a deal on a new WP8 device, which I will. I just got a letter in the mail a couple weeks ago from T-Mobile stating that they will be merging with MetroPCS in the 1st quarter of 2013 and are now encouraging the "Bring in your own phone" from other carriers for the unlimited plan for $50 a month, I think their trying to get the iPhone crowd to use their service. I though that was interesting!

about the ribbon strip covering the headphone jack... it fell out by itself, without any negative effects.
also, I am no longer the owner of an HD7. one day, I hope to own an HD7S.

Hopefully that will help!
Funny that you mention that... On my old HD7 I had noticed a strip of a ribbon protruding into the 3.5mm jack too, although I have 2000 + songs on mine and connect it to my car stereo quite frequently. Haven't noticed it yet on the new device though.QUOTE]

I am familiar with both HD7 and HD7S. and I actually was looking at a new HD7S on eBay, but I can't justify spending the money.
HD7 is the best device I ever had, really happy with it, so until some over inspired developer/hacker brings us a full unlocked rom for wp8 device I will keep and take care of it! And really I don't mind if it takes a year or more...Long Life to the HD7!!!
i getting one soon for fun & cheap too ... but it has problem. Camera don't work/open. Message don't work but phone and internet work.. im guessing software/rom? so i'll be around asking questions. The last time im using window phone is SE Xperia x1 running WP 6.5. whats ur prediction on the htc hd7 im getting soon? hardware or software?

I recently got the Lumia 810, for WP8 dev, but have been using the Mozart, as my daily. I do miss the HD7. I love the size of the Mozart, but the screen is too small; I keep pressing something I don't intend too.

Camera not working could be a software issue, but most likely a hardware issue.
what of the messaging isn't working? SMS? MMS? phone calls work?

ok i finally had the the hd7 on my hand. it looking pretty good in person
the camera work. so no hardware issue. but still got the sms issue, i cant seem to send and receive any kind of message.
Things that make me mad is that it has no mmc. wtf!. oh well its cheap alright. so i need info of what kind of micro sd does it use and how many gb it support. i ready about class 4 and 2. but how about 8gb micro sd? would it also require class 2 and 4? im only aiming for 8gb.
and can i restore it using the "volume up + down - Power button" without mmc in place?
Hello buddies,
i had ages ago a Xperia X10. Bought than Windows Phone HTC 8X. But the battery drain made me crazy. So the 8X was sold, but still in love with HTC. now im still using my Xperia X10, what a good product.....5 years and still running with the same battery......
So i do some research and i think i want the HTC One, it looks gorgeous, is fair priced and has great specs, beside the cam. BUT im a little bit confused about the finish, read a lot about cuts.....misaligned displays and more.
Would you still buy it again ? Do you think i can also use the One at least 3 to 4 years ?
Please give me advice before buying these beauty
Greetings
go for M8
Hi,
that was not the question and to be clear. Every cam is better than the cam used by my X10 . Its not so important for me, just mentioned that point.
By the way i dont want to spend so much money AND dont want to wait. Just some tips from guys using it all day would be nice.

I would buy again. Mine have no flaws and the cam isn't that bad. Not experienced any issue at all. The most common issue is the camera purp tint. I think newer batch of phones should be fine. I will not say anything about lifespan because at this point its just speculating but the aluminum casing makes the phone seem pretty solid
The assembly of the HTC One is amazing, mine is rock solid and sooo gorgeous, I love it. It should last 3 years easily, the sharpness of the screen is amazing but my camera is horrible, never focuses so I have to use an app with manual focus options in order to snap focused pics. Other than that I love it, but if you really love HTC wait for the M8, it is literally a month down the road. Cheers!

How can you recommand the M8? It'll be at least two months to availability and be twice the current price of the M7.
The HTC One is a great phone and still the phone I would choose if buying a phone today.

Brand new, the m7 is still £400-500. The m8 will just be around the same price.
With regards to the question asked, the HTC One is a great phone. However, since you've waited so long already to get a new phone, I would wait and get the m8. Personally anyways.
I've had my one since just before Christmas. Bought it outright because I don't want to renew my contract when it's up. The phone I had on contract was terrible - acting up really bad; plus contract are far too dear (better value to buy a phone outright and add a giffgaff sim card - if you're in the uk) . I'm confident that the One will last me a good couple years.
