Samsung Focus

Pocketnow.com: "From a hardware perspective, the Focus is a huge win. It's fast, has a beautiful screen, and it represents Windows Phone 7 very well. From a software perspective, Windows Phone 7 is truly a compelling mobile operating organisation."

Phonescoop.com: "The Samsung Focus is a wonderful slice of hardware. The screen is tiptop, among the best I've used on a mobile phone, and the build quality and blueprint are excellent. The phone sounds great during calls, gets expert cell reception and snaps fine pictures. Battery life could be ameliorate, but it wasn't the worst I've seen by a long shot."

Gizmodo: "If you're going to get a Windows Phone that isn't the HD7, this is the 1 to get, cheers to the brandish, if zero else."

ZDnet: "The Samsung Focus reminds me a lot of a Galaxy South Android device with its large 4 inch Super AMOLED display, black glossy plastic terminate, and sleek form cistron. It is large, but thin enough that information technology nonetheless feels skilful in your mitt and is hands pocketable."

HTC Surround

Engadget.com: "The Surround needed to bring a lot to the tabular array in order to justify beingness bigger and heavier than the Samsung Focus while lacking the QWERTY keyboard of the LG Breakthrough, and we but don't think a pair of boilerplate speakers and a kickstand provides that justification -- especially since Windows Telephone 7 doesn't take full advantage of either."

PhoneArena.com: "Its design isn't anything nosotros've seen before, every bit nosotros should await from a visitor known for their intricate industrial designs, but the HTC Surround'due south pattern doesn't blatantly accept away the focus from the real star of the evidence; Windows Phone 7. Still, it's nice to come across a wonderfully crafted device radiate a stunning and quality design that will easily concenter some people to its uniqueness."

Slashgear: "The HTC Surround is a solid Windows Phone 7 pick, but its fellow AT&T handset, the Samsung Focus, outclasses it with its 4-inch Super AMOLED display. In dissimilarity, the Surround's unique feature, its slide-out speaker, falls brusque both on usability and functioning."

HTC HD7

Engadget.com: "The build quality is a pace below the finest we've seen, landing the HD7 in the "passable" category, while the display may achieve a high level of brightness, just it goes to waste cheers to its poor contrast and viewing angles."

RegHardware.com: "The HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7 - available in the United kingdom exclusively on O2 - may not be the game changer that its creators would have hoped for, but it's a powerful, capable device with an OS that stands up well against the competition, and offers a strong range of multimedia capabilities."

HTC Mozart

WindowsPhoneThoughts: "The Mozart is by no means perfect. HTC conspicuously could take given the camera more attention. More storage space beyond the included viii GB would have been nice, also. But all things considered, there'south no denying that this is one gorgeous device, and it'south one that I wouldn't hesitate in recommending.

An interesting ascertainment on the Mozart is that while it's a European and Australian release, the Australian version (sold through Telstra) is compatible with U.S. 3G bands. I wonder if anyone will import them to the U.S.?

Is this real life?
