HTC is a very loyal ambassador of Windows Phone 7 platform. In fact, if you walk into Sprint you will find only one Windows Phone 7 device, HTC Arrive. There is only one WP7 HTC HD7 in T-Mobile. AT&T has four WP7 devices.

Senior VP of HTC Fred Liu stated that HTC sells 1 HTC device for every 2 Windows Phones sold. Sales of Windows Phone 7 are picking up and I think HTC will continue to play a dominant role in Windows Phones sales. Anxious to see how well Nokia Windows Phones will do… time will tell I guess.

Finding a reliable cheap web hosting will provide your Windows server a better performance and flexibility you need.

12 megapixel camera on Windows phone 7 has now a hit the web via SlashGear. HTC supports RAW format pictures e.i. unprocessed high definition pictures that are not compressed. Most phones process pictures as they come in, optimize them and save them. In RAW format it’s up to you to work with your pics the way you would like. With highest setting you should get 4000 x 3000 images.

This is the biggest megapixel count I have seen on Windows phones and saving of your camera settings is also a novelty that most of us have impatiently been waiting for. Well, Microsoft has listened. Kudos to them and yey to us.

I am eagerly awaiting what Nokia will come up with as they had planned to use its high-quality optics to make themselves stand out above the main stream. HTC has opted to alter the specs sheet resolution and that sells.

HTC HD7S has the largest screen of any Windows Phone 7 device. It measures 4.3 inches. HTC HD7S comes with 16GB of storage and starting June 5th you can pick it up at AT&T for $199.99 with two year contract.

A new Windows Phone image was leaked recently and it was the HTC Mazaa. It seems like this smart phone will have a 3.7 inch screen and it might be heading to Sprint in a couple of months. HTC Mazaa will use DDR2 memory for better speed. HTC Mazaa might also have some GSM capabilities. Now, this may be false since on the image, the red color on the speaker grille is like the one on HTC Trophy from Verizon. It would be highly improbable that Sprint would choose the same theme. Therefore, you can classify this as a rumor until proven true.
