Windows phone 7 is a joy to use as always, and while the HTC 7 Pro is no exception, we prefer other WP7 handsets. The sliding mechanism is too stiff and the handset’s body will be just too substantial for a lot of users. Having said that, phones wit...

Any Windows Phone 7 device will give you a virtual Qwerty keyboard on its touch screen, but the HTC 7 Pro is one of the very few to offer a proper, slide-out hard key version, and the Dell Venue Pro’s vertical slider pales in comparison to this one. To...
So far, there’s really very little difference between WP7 handsets – they’ve all got broadly similar functionality and features – but the HTC 7 Pro stands out for its Qwerty keyboard, which is a winner. If that’s what floats your boat, this is the han...
