Conclusion:

A lot of writers, the smartphone operating system are looking for a catchy come at 7 Pro by HTC not. Multimedia friends, however, see themselves better to have an alternative: They are not to the color output of the display still happy with the limited storage space.


Positive: The full keyboard of the HTC 7 Pro is not just a novelty among Windows Mobile 7 devices, which is also well implemented, are made: The slider mechanism is smooth, the pressure point is clearly noticeable and the backlight makes keys easy to recognize. The final touch is a small LED that indicates whether the shift and function keys are enabled. Also the touch screen input device proves to be successful, because it reacts sensitively pleasing to the touch.

With Windows 7 Phone HTC sets the 7 Pro on a very beginner-friendly operating system. The operation is easily seen through and scrolling or switching between applications running smoothly. The synchronization with popular email clients and social networks work smoothly and photos can be transmitted directly through the appropriate software, for example, to Facebook. With the quality of said photos, you should be happy because the camera of the HTC 7 Pro does a good job. A professional device you can replace them, of course not, but the results are noisy and have no more than snapshot level. It is equally pleasing that the camera can be activated quickly and from the stand-by mode, and also operates almost silently.

Negative: The appearance of the display is not convincing, unfortunately, because the colors look washed out. It also a shame that many can only be viewed in portrait mode, so including the main menu. For a change in the vertical, it is absolutely necessary to fold the keyboard, so that a frequent exchange of views faster or uncomfortable. Also, the audio quality of the HTC Pro 7 can be something to be desired. So talkative are a bit played quietly, which can be annoying especially with simultaneous background noise. Finally, shares the smartphone from HTC at a disadvantage with all other Windows Mobile Phone 7: The internal memory is not expandable. In addition, thanks to pre-installed software are used effectively only about 6.7 GB.
