My love and hate for the HD7!

---

I love the HD7, but I HATE the “t-mobile” logo. It’s hideous! That logo will 100% make me disregard from dropping any cash on that device.

1) Can I get the European version and use it on t-mobile’s 3G network? I assume the new HD7 does not has hspa+.

2) BTW, why is it that the euro HD2 does not have a carrier logo on it?

anyone? whats do u think?

If the HD7 does launch on a international carrier I'm sure you can unlocks it's sim, but don't expect any Tmo-US 3G. Tmobile USA isn't using the 3G standard everyone is using and has been having a hard time getting support from unlocked devices.

Unlock

Do you think it will be able to be unlocked to AT&T in the future?

An Australian cellphone company by the nemae of Telstra carries the HD2. Telstra operates their 3G network in the 850mhz band which is the same band that AT&T primarily uses. I curently have been using an unlocked Telstra HTC HD2 (costed me $1000) on AT&T's network for several months now and could not be happier, I had to upgrade the firmware, the phone will not run in the U.S. with stock Telstra firmware.

As for the HTC HD 7, Cnet Australia is reporting it is headed for Telstra in early 2011 here is the link to the article: http://www.cnet.com.au/htc-hd7-339306576.htm . I would hold off buying it up untill more info is on xda about replacing the firmware to make it compatible in the U.S.

not sure about the logo thing, i havnt had or seen a phone in the uk with a carrier logo, im not saying ther isnt, i just havnt seen one.

Every year I have bought a new HTC device, but this time it looks like I don't buy one.

My HD2 can make more than the hd7, WP7 can be ported so I have no advice of buying the HD7

based on my experience with the HD2. O2 UK just branded the software, I suppose it was because this was the first HTC phone that they had without any hadrware rebranding. I imagine it was cheaper for O2 too do it this way.

I expect the HD7 will have an O2 HUB and probably colours. In Europe O2 will be provideing 16GB storeage as opposed to the 8 GB for the unbranded European version.

I expect the phone to be SIM locked like the HD2 but you can get an unlock coade from O2. We shall see

Here in germany all o2 devices are unlocked. o.O
Amazon.de sells a HD7 without branding for 599 euros.
