Windows Phone 7 launches today in the US: Which will you buy?
Monday, November 8th, 2010 Blog by Mint News
Already available in parts of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, Windows Phone 7 is now available to buy in the US and Canada. On AT&T, the HTC Surround and Samsung Focus are available now, with the keyboard-equipped LG Quantum preorder only. On T-Mobile, the HTC HD7 is available now, and the Dell Venue Pro—the same handset that Dell is rolling out to 25,000 of its BlackBerry-using employees—will be available soon.
Unless you simply must have a hardware keyboard, I’d go for the Samsung Focus. The 4″ Super AMOLED screen is beautiful, and though the other handsets aren’t bad, in side-by-side comparisons they’ll always come off looking second-best. The Focus is also the lightest Windows Phone 7 device on the market. The gorgeous screen may sacrifice a little in battery life, but I’ve found it to consistently last a full working day with a reasonable mix of e-mailing, tweeting, texting, and GPS usage, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
