  • The form factor looks very close to that of the HTC Trophy

    which is a nice size, though that's realy subjective to the user.

      Good catch. I cancelled my eye exam.

      @devfish And it says HTC at the top! I also wonder if a "capacitive tough button" is supposed to be a capacitive touch button. Or maybe it's my mistake and it's a rugged phone.

      Yeah, I think the HTC instead of Dell and the Sprint instead of T-Mobile along with the four buttons should be seen as clear indicators that this is not the T-Mobile Windows Phone line up.

  • I want to upgrade, but I don't see one here.

    This phone just doesn't appeal to me. I really whish that T-Mobile was getting either the Titan or the Focus S. I am ready to upgrade my HD7, but I don't want to go with a smaller screen and more body.

    Maybe they will get a new ACE next year.

      @nick@...The good news is you can load Windows 7.5 onto your HD7, which is what I've done. It runs great and the only feature missing is the tethering and 4G support, which is suppressed intentionally on the older hardware. I'm with you - I like the 4.3" screen and ability to change out my batteries I have with the HD7. (Haven't had to replace a battery yet, but you never know when you might need to.)
