HTC 7 Pro

Overview of HTC 7 Pro

THE HTC 7 PRO HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. THERE IS NO DIRECT REPLACEMENT. ALTERNATIVES ARE THE HTC TITAN & NOKIA LUMIA 800

The HTC 7 Pro is the latest offering from the new Windows Phone 7 range. Combining the knowledge of two industry experts, Microsoft and HTC, the Pro 7 is a high-end business device that ticks all the boxes.

With the HTC 7 Pro, you are able to easily view and edit Office documents on your smartphone. Editing is made simple by the 5-row, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while the 3.6-inch WVGA touch screen gives you plenty of real estate to view spreadsheets and Word documents. Of course, important documents also need to be shared and this is facilitated by Microsoft SharePoint.

For the busy business user, constant access to email is vital. The HTC 7 Pro not only provides this via its Wi-Fi and 3G capability, but also helps you to organise your emails with Microsoft Outlook. Added to this is the ability to stay on top of the stock market with the 'Stocks' app, which enables you to check prices and indices whenever, wherever. Rotating the 7 Pro horizontally will show you full-screen landscape charts, while the app also allows you to define up to 30 stocks and track their progress.

Of course, if you take your work everywhere, you'll also need the option to take a quick break and relax. Whether you do this by watching videos, browsing photos on Facebook or listening to some music, the HTC 7 Pro makes it quick and convenient. With access to Zune services, you are able to browse and download music, movies and TV shows. There's even the possibility to sync your music collection wirelessly with your PC using the Zune PC companion.

It is not only Zune, but also Bing services that are present in the new range of Windows Phone 7 devices. The HTC Pro 7 features a built-in antenna, so Bing Maps can give you directions, point out the nearest landmarks or show you a street level perspective if need be. Also included is Bing search and Xbox Live, which integrates with your Xbox 360 account to bring gaming to your smartphone.
