After numerous rumors on the net, it is now official that HTC HD7 will be unveiled by Maxis this Thursday, 24th November in KL. Those that registers has received an invitation to the event and purchase the smartphone afterward.
The smartphone is retailed at RM2399, but as usual, the phone can also be purchased with 12 and 24 months contract that priced the device to Rm1699 and RM1399 respectively. The first 30 customers will take home free Jawbone bluetooh headset worth RM428.
HTC HD7 is the first Windows Phone 7 available here in Malaysia through telco, and will only available at Maxis store nationwide on 26th November.
The registration for the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone to be available here, HTC HD7 is already ended. As usual, it is again Maxis that gonna offer this smartphone here. It was first opened last week, and surprisingly ended earlier than expected for the smartphone that is targeted to revive Microsoft’s mobile service . There are only 2 possible reason.
It is either the smartphone has received overwhelming respond and Maxis can’t keeping up with the demand (which is good), or the other way round, or weak demand. I have stronger feeling for the later to be the reason behind that.
It is boiled down to the treatment that we received from the hardware vendor. Unless you lived in the US, being the early adopter of any technology is not necessarily good. Talking about experience, how many of you remember how Android smartphone shipped here is without Android Market? It suck right? User have to root to install custom ROM in order to enjoy the Market.
And from what I’ve heard (and read), HTC HD7 is going to have the same fate, the Marketplace won’t be available in the HTC HD7 shipped here, so it is gonna be another frustration for the early buyers.
Why the application store is what matter most nowadays?? It is simple; hardware alone can’t keep you stick with the phone without additional functionality you got out of the phone. In another word, you’ll get bored with the hardware, but it is software that make your day, right? Windows Phone 7 has got some pretty okey review from the blogsphere, but please, bring along everything else that you offer somewhere else here as well.
HTC is one of Microsoft partners that first to release few model Windows Phone 7 smartphone at Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 launch event yesterday. For Malaysia market, HTC is bringing 2 model, HTC 7 Mozart and HTC HD7. Both smartphopne are on the higher end model comes with decent and powerful 1 Ghz Qualcomm with processor and 576 RAM. The launch of Windows Phone 7 is set to rejuvenated Microsoft mobile division and for HTC themselves, it will further strengthen their foothold on the smartphone industry.
HTC 7 Mozart resemblance the HTC design language stamped on almost their smartphone.

The battery last for 330 minutes on CDMA and 405 minutes on GSM. HTC Mozart will available by November with price rm2099
HTC HD7 on the other hand is perhaps best described as the successor to HTC HD2 which run on Windows Mobile OS. The 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen size is the first indicator and together with slim design, one can’t argue it’s it is really gorgeous phone. It run on the same processor and RAM/ROM as HTC 7 Mozart, but with bigger storage at 16GB compared 8 GB for the later. The camera though is little bit disappointing with only 5 megapixel with the same flash and HD capability. Everything else is almost the same one.
