The HTC HD7 is a highly competent cameraphone, boasting a 5 mega pixel unit which comes with auto-focus and dual-LED flash.  The high operating pixel resolution of 2592x 1944 means that the resulting images are of fantastic quality and detail, whilst the previously mentioned features simplify the task of taking great snapshots.  Additionally, the phone can be used to shoot high definition video footage in 720p quality.  An additional feature of the camera is geo-tagging which utilises GPS to keep track of where the camera has been used.

 

The Microsoft Windows Phone 7 operating System works alongside the highly regarded 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for lightening fast speeds of the user interface and to provide the necessary power to run demanding applications and multi tasking.  A number of different multimedia and social networking features are included along with productivity tools such as the Microsoft Office document viewer.
