HTC to bring Windows 7 based HD 7 phone in India

New Delhi: HTC is introducing its Windows 7 based phone, HD 7, in the Indian markets next week. Although it has not been officially announced yet, but online sources place the price of the phone to be around 30,000. The HD 7 has a 4.3 inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen display and a 5MP camera coupled with auto focus and dual LED flash. Running on the latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows Phone 7, the HD 7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor. Connectivity options of the phone include Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, and Wi-Fi. The Asian version of the phone is likely to be shipped with an internal memory of 16GB. The device supports high definition video recording. The Windows operating system integrates with popular Microsoft services like Bing Search, Xbox LIVE and others. The Windows 7 platform, since its release, has been falling flat in front of competition from Android and iOS. Now it needs to be seen whether the phone is able to strike a chord with the Indian user or not.
