Windows Phone 7’s shaping up to be a hot platform, and thanks to a pair of key leaks Taiwan’s, Mobile01, has obtained some clear shots of both the HD7’s hardware and the software running on it. Overall the hardware design is very similar to the HD2 and its Android equivalent the Evo 4G. It may be a sleeker device than either of its brethren, but as stated it does boast similar design qualities: i.e. metal trim around the device and the camera, as well as that oh so loved kickstand.
In case you we’re wondering, it’s currently believed that the “HD3” branding on the back of the device is nothing more than a place holder. After all, its running Windows Phone 7 so it’s safe to assume that this is indeed the HD7. And if you were ever dubious that, that leaked Windows Phone 7 tiled version of Sense was real you can rest easy now; thanks to German site HTCInside, that’s been validated through a series of photos showing the HD7 with the “Sense Widgety Tile.”
Spec wise nothing’s been 100% confirmed yet, but according to what’s been leaked, the HD7 — like its brothers — is a pure slab of touchscreen goodness. Making use of a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen (800 x 480), a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 8GB of in-built storage with no room for expansion. Lastly, the HD7’s got a five-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording. Stay tuned to October 11th, as that’s when Microsoft’s rumoured to reveal the devices behind its next big platform.
