T-Mobile offers 2 WP7 smartphones - HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro


Verizon seems to be the only US national carrier that does not have a WP7 device offering at launch, at least. T-Mobile will be joining the ranks of Sprint and AT&T in launching their WP7 devices and offering them to their consumers. Two of the 11 WP7 is the number for T-Mobile, meaning they will be offering two WP7 smartphones, while Sprint and AT&T are both offering 3 each.



First is the HTC HD7 over at T-Mobile. It's the biggest Windows Phone 7 to date with a 4.3 inch touch screen display although it's screen resolution is only at par with the rest at 800 x 480. The HTC HD7 will also, like the others, have a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 576MB RAM, 16GB of built in storage, a 5MP camera with a dual LED flash and 720p HD video recording, and Wifi 802.11 b/g/n.

There's no word on how much the phone will cost but as my source said, "don’t be surprised if it’s going to be $200 with a 2-year contract." And according to T-Mobile it'll be available in mid-November.

"Elsewhere, the HTC HD7 will be available exclusively from O2 in the UK and Ireland, from Telstra in Australia, Telecom New Zealand in New Zealand, Singtel in Singapore and Maxis in Malaysia. It will also be available from O2 in Germany, Telefonica Movistar in Spain, Bouygues Telecom in France, Taiwan Mobile in Taiwan, and CSL, 3 and China Mobile in Hong Kong."

Lastly, the Dell Venue Pro. The phone from Dell was already rumored before, referred back then as the Dell Lightning, some of you might not like it but I like it. Love how the screen is curved. Ok, so the Dell Venue Pro, as you can see in the photo and as you can read "Pro", means that it features a slide out full QWERTY keyboard. Much like the BlackBerry Storm, which did not receive much love that it deserves. It also features a 4.1 inch touch screen display, a 1GHz processor, and a 5MP camera. Details on the smartphone is not yet released. Dell is yet to officially introduce it to the public regarding its specs.

Pricing and when the phones will be available over at T-Mobile is still a question and is yet to be officially announced. But they say it'll be available in time for the Holiday season.
