HTC 7 Pro review
Network and connections
The Windows Phone 7 platform rules supreme in this HTC device. Newly born into the company's latest series, the 7 Pro has a Quadband GSM receiver, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. Signal coverage is optimal in any condition, including UMTS. To browse the Internet, there is an internal modem with HSDPA technology. The HTML browser will therefore be able to display Web pages quickly. There is also a Wi-Fi antenna for distributed networks. The convenient Bluetooth for data transfer is also present, as is USB support.
Design and features
The style is absolutely clean and essential, with rounded edges to provide harmony and comfort in the grip. The dimensions are in line with competing Business devices, with a thickness of 15.5 mm for a weight of 185 grams. The body is a side Slider, which encloses the extended QWERTY keyboard inside. This proves really handy for managing any type of text. The front part instead houses the screen, a 3.8-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. It is also equipped with Capacitive Touch Screen technology, for an even more precise touch in managing your device.
