HTC arrive sprint first window s7 phone on CDMA network

this phone well be coming out march 20th for about 200$ (with contract). but of course if you decide to pay extra you can of course get it flashed over to cricket or metro PCS now that windows 7 phone is on CDMA.

their is tell of a verison phone as well but almost no info has bin said on it as its it also a HTC phone and some way its the same with a different name.


the phone is interesting because it has a tilt on the screen after you slide it out, which can make for some some what better laptop like typing. the phone has bin reviewed with lots of praise to the sound quality which is sort of a HTC standard. and because its HTC it well offer a HTC app store, and if you don't have your phone flashed u can still use the sprint app store on top of the windows 7 store, which also offers besides apps and games, but xbox life games with xbox approved quality, and the zune music store. this means that it well have HD videos, movies, tv shows, and zune music, but also means you can use zune pass on the go with your mobile phone and stream all the music you want for as long as your zune pass is good for.
a lot of the apps that use music have a cool tagging option to tag songs you like and adds them to your zune music cart.

the 7 phone also offers a free mobile office, cut & paste. a browser with tabs and flash mobile is coming (adobe and MS have said)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/default.aspx
and multitasking has bin said to come later this year.

the phone also offers a smart calander integrated with oulook
has support for sky drive (25GB of free cloud data)
and a smart phone book that syncs your social media sites like facebook
so that a phone contact can have all not just call and text
all windows 7 phones have HD video recording (720p) and 5 mega pixel photo.
watch the key note hear about 30% they talk about new things.
like comparing to iphone, HTML5 IE9 (with software acceleration) and much more including showing of a glimps of kinect support

(which could allow for face time via kinect)
this well be the phone that i end up getting my self so i can tell you its more then a smart buy
