Let the Windows Phone 7 deluge begin. In conjunction with this morning’s Microsoft event in New York City, T-Mobile today announced the names of its first two Windows Phone 7 devices, the HTC HD7 and the Dell Venue Pro.
The HTC HD7 is a large entertainment phone. Our mobile analyst Sascha Segan describes the thing as “clearly the carrier’s flagship.” The handset features a large 4.3-inch LCD and a rear kickstand for watching video and the like. It measures 4.8 by 2.7 by 0.44 and weighs 5.7 ounces, putting it at around the same size as the arguable unwieldy Motorola Droid X.
The phone will be bundled with Netflix and Slacker software and will be able to stream video via MobiTV.
The Dell Venue Pro, meanwhile, features a slightly small 4.1 inch screen. It’s a slider with a QWERTY keyboard. The handset also sports a 5.1-MP camera and a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor inside. The Venue will be available through Dell and select retailers.
