We’ve just got our hands on the latest HTC handset to hit the shelves, namely the HTC HD7 – and the first thing that hits you when you take it out of the box is the size of the screen – a whopping 480×800 resolution one at that. Luckily though, the handset feels thin enough to not give the impression of a small netbook in your pocket. But obviously your pocket is not where your new phone is going to stay, so we have a range of HTC HD7 accessories to help you keep your brand new handset in excellent condition. Here are a couple of pointers as to what could make the difference in keeping your HTC looking PC!
Massive screen to protect - HTC HD7
The screen of the HD7 makes up most of the phone when turned on – apart from a thin strip of glass at the bottom that holds the touch sensitive buttons, this is very much all about the screen, which makes sense when you consider how massive it is. With this being the main attribute of the HTC HD7 you will obviously want to protect it, so a HTC HD 7 screen protector will be your first port of call. Simple to fit and in no way obtrusive, screen protectors give good protection at an affordable price.
The overall housing of the HTC HD7 is fairly robust, but as with all phones, there are a couple of weak points, these being the thin plastic battery cover and, although being a neat little feature of the phone, the kickstand at the back of the handset seems brittle at best. Resembling a pop can ring pull, we found this stand to be prone to damage from early on, especially if you want to use the phone as a media viewer. To help look after this it’s worth getting your hands on a HTC HD7 cover, that will not only look after the housing but the screen of your phone too (for extra protection double up with a screen protector as already mentioned!)
Prize off the HD7?s thin battery cover and you’ll find a battery that HTC state is good for up to 380 minutes of talk time or 320 hours of standby. But as this phone is all about its media and browsing abilities, by spending some time online you’ll find yourself out of power before too long. Getting your hands on a spare HTC HD7 charger is the perfect remedy for this.
