Windows Phone 7 Smartphone Specs & Features Leaked



The HTC HD7 / HD3 Windows Phone 7 smartphone has been unofficially confirmed yesterday thanks to a bunch of leaked pictures showing the device in the wild. Today we have even more details for you, and no, HTC didn’t make the phone official yet. But the specs and features of this WP7 handset have apparently been leaked way ahead of schedule and there’s clear, unofficial, indication that this baby is heading to T-Mobile USA at some point later this year.


So let’s all look at the spec sheet below and extract the most important specs and
  • 1GHZ Qualcomm QSD8250 chipset
  • 512MB ROM and 576MB RAM
  • 8GB non-removable microSD card
  • 4.3-inch 480 x 800 WVGA capacitive touchscreen display
  • HSPA/UMTS dual-band 900/2100MHz
  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz
  • HSDPA/UMTS 900/1700/2100MHz (T-Mobile USA support included)
  • 7.2Mbps HSDPA / 2Mbps HSUPA
  • A-GPS
  • Digital compass
  • Proximity sensor
  • Ambient Light sensor
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, dual-LED flash and 2-step camera button
  • Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR
  • Wi-Fi b/g/n
  • USB 2.0 support
  • Kickstand
  • 1,230mAh removable battery
  • Buttons: Power button, Volume Up / Volume Down buttons, Start button, Back button, Search button
  • Various accessories, applications and widgets support




We’ve seen yesterday that the HTC HD7 / HD3 looks pretty much as we expect it to look and the specs sheet above kinda of confirms the specs and features we expect from this particular HTC smartphone. But the fact that a leaked specs sheet is available to the crowds doesn’t make the phone official yet. But what say you, T-Mobile USA, would you be willing to confirm the device?
HTC will probably announce the first Windows Phone 7 smartphones in October, and we already know that there are a bunch of WP7 handsets developed by the Taiwan-based manufacturer and we can only hope that the HTC HD7 / HD3 is one of them. With that in mind we’re also interested to see what the competition will have in store to match this particular handset as, from what we can see so far, even if not confirmed the HD7 / HD3 is definitely shaping up to become the flagship Windows Phone 7 smartphone of 2010.

Windows Phone 7 Emulator Hacked





Earlier this week, Microsoft held its MIX10 developer conference and announced all the nitty gritty development details for its new Windows Phone 7 Series mobile operating system.  As part of its development strategy, Microsoft released a suite of free tools to entice developers to adopt the newly announced Windows Phone 7 Series platform. As any developer is well aware, one of the basic tools included in a development suite is an emulator, which allows developers to test out their code before deploying it to an actual device.


For the tech enthusiast, an emulator often provides a sneak peek at the latest and often unreleased version of an OS. In the case of Windows Phone 7 Series, the emulator, still in an early stage of development, was merely a shell and provided only a superficial look at Microsoft’s highly anticipated refresh of the aged Windows Mobile platform. Microsoft may have wanted to keep all those sweet new features we saw on stage at the MIX10 announcement under wraps but hacker Dan Ardelean had a different plan.
After playing around with a leaked ROM dump from the emulator, Ardelean tweaked some settings within the ROM’s registry files and was able to unlock the content Microsoft had hidden beneath the surface. The features that are now available for your browsing pleasure include a file manger, a task manager, a voice search tool, a camera with support for geo-location, and new mobile versions of Excel, Word, and OneNote.
Folks that are interested in a first hand look at the new Windows Phone 7 Series can do so by downloading the free development tools from Microsoft and then pointing their browser to the popular xda-developers website which has a forum dedicated to Windows Phone 7 Series development and hacking. Once you find the forum post with 105,000+ views, you will know that you are in the right place and will find all the help you will need to begin your journey with the emulated version of Windows Phone 7. Once you have had your fill of  this early build of Windows Phone 7, hit us up in the comments and let us know your first impressions of Microsoft’s up and coming mobile OS.
