Htc hd2 vs hd7?

---

Hi guys i am new here.
I was wondering what phone is better to buy i cant deside so i posted here .
Only diference i came up whit .

HTC hd2 Display is 16 bit/pixel (65536 scales)
To me looks nicer


HTC hd7 24 bit/pixel (16777216 scales)
Has new OS

Don't know what phone is better i googled a lot and all say hd2 may be that is cuz they didnt test jet hd7 because it is new .... Help me pls

If you are settled on getting those phones, get the HD7 if you don't plan on playing with your phone. Metro UI is wonderful.

If you WANT to have some fun with your phone, get the HD2, as it can have android installed on it (then just use launcher 7...)

The HD2 has WinMo 6.5 on it while the HD7 has WP7. All round, the hardware on the HD7 is newer and isn't near (or reached?) EOL, I'd get the HD2 though, cuz I am a tinkerer.

So you say if i want to use my phone just for calls and pictures hd7 is better
If i want to use my phone for apps and game i pick up hd2 ..

no, if you want to tinker and customize your phone, use the HD2. I really don't know if all the apps and what not would work on the HD2, if so, definitely awesome.

The HD7 has an awesome music player though (wonderfully mimicked by Fede Carnales for Android), and WP7 is streamlined and fast.

Try them both out and see what fits your fancy. If you are going to leave them stock, get the HD7. If you wanna play, get the HD2. If you want a large Android device, get the Sensation or G2X (both are better than the HD2).

If any one else has some thing to help me pls post xD

I dont think i will use android on WM phone. I think WMP is more fun .

the two devices are essentially the same thing, they use the exact same SoC (processor etc)

the only difference as you have pointed out is the screen, although the HD2 looks better.

There are some other differences too

The digitizer is newing on the HD7 meaning you can have many point touch screen, the HD2 uses an older version that supports 2 points ( i think) however because of this the HD2 with WP7 has some issues, it works but isnt as complete or functional.

Because of the screen (largely) the battery lasts longer too

and thats about it.

WP7 on the HD2 is fantastic, and works without issue, NODO is perfect and they are working on mango as well, once mango goes RTM its quite likely the HD2 will have it too.

the HD2 supports just about any OS you can think off

The HD7 isnt currently unlocked, allthough im sure thats just a matter of time.

So to sum it up, the HD2 is the most usable phone out there, WP7 on it is almost the same bar some issues (SD card compatibility, camera issues, touch screen isues) it runs android, WM, linux and has almost identical to the HD7

The HD7 has the edge with the touch screen and battery power, doesnt have the issues with some of the hardware that the HD2 has but is either equal or worse than the HD2 in pretty much every other aspect

if it were me i would get an HD2 again, because i can do more with it, until the HD7 is unlocked that is at which point the HD7 would have dominance other than the slightly poorer looking display (all be it with a high bit depth)

(deleted my original post - in light of the post above it which I hadn't seen). Some good points made.
