The price isn't too steep, but if a lower-spec Surround is $550 I'd hate to know how much a HD7 would cost.

a speaker???Give me a old school keyboard...touch pro 3 would be nice(with tethering) but that would be a phone to benefit me..not the carrier 🙁

Not bad imo, the phone looks very sleek itself and has decent specs

I find that HTC makes awesome phones. i still use my old HTC touch. And It has preformed excellently.

Don't these spammer realize this is a tech site? And most people that visit Tech Sites are not stupid enough(I hope not) to visit the spammer's website or care anything for the Spams? Fail Spam strategy. Hey Spammers....go to Twitter or something else. You'd make more money get more clicks with clueless Apple Zealots. Its basic Marketing 101.

On Topic....HTC has always made some of the best phones. But I want my full slide out QWERTY. Can't stand the touch typing.

And even besides that point, don't they understand that nerds don't have a damn to give about fashion? They definitely failed at marketing 101.

I'm more interested in the HTC pro 7 (QWERTY keyboard > speakers).

"slide-out speaker and kickstand" i think its more of a flick stand then anything

 

[scook9]

Looks like a nice phone

Given the hardware...wonder if anyone has ported android to it yet (or is going to)

HTC pro 7 reminds me of the touch pro 2...

I have a TP2 with a custom Xpress Dusk rom that has cooked in WiFi router. It works like a charm I can connect any wireless device to my phone and use the 3g network

The phone does look apealing and the price isn't insane, still expensive, but comparible. HDMI out? that is a feature my next phone will have to have.

I am a nerd... I certainly care how i look and that my car is clean, I like to look presentable. I would also NOT choose a phone because it is ugly. I would simply purchase that same device from another manufacturer. --> android is on how many devices? why did you pick the certain one you choose when they are all the same?

"Flick Stand" thats whitty...patent it quick!

I would have expected more RAM, but its probably not needed. I also didn't see anything about and SD card slot. If I can use the 8 gigs on the device as a USB 3.0 drive then I don't care. I don't like the flick stand because it looks cheap and just another thing to break. If I want speakers and a stand then I will get a docking bay, or better yet. Just include a docking station with the phone.
