Category: Maxis 10: HTC HD7 Review

Phew… I thought I could get this video up faster than the first one but I was so wrong. Took me more than 12 hour for the production. My voice was too soft so I decided to use texts instead. The music is not meant to be as background music, it’s meant to cover my voice and so that the video is not all quiet for 5 minutes at least ;p. Don’t have the time to do the recording again. Heavy post production.

If I’m not mistaken there’re some mistakes in the texts. Kind of lazy to change them because it will take another 30 minutes to finalized everything every time I found out mistakes after publishing -.-” My computer hangs like crazy. I hope I still manage to get the message across ;p

Some extras that I did not share in the video:

Left: Start screen.

Right: The wallpaper.

Viewing my blog with it.

Left: The screen that greeted me when I’m in HTC Hub.

Right: My very first SMSes that I got, almost gave me heart attack, for no reason, my RM5 gone. Make sure you change your setting to your home/office WiFi as soon as possible before you explore the phone further. I accidentally pressed on some applications that required Internet connection because I did not know.

Left: Making a call, big numbers, great for those having some eyesight problem.

Right: The calculator, big enough too.

Next episode, I think I might talk about the camera. It will be in both post and video format. I think…

For those of you who have no idea what is going on, you’re going to see me doing review marathon of HTC HD7 these 2 weeks. I’m lucky to be selected as one of the reviewers of Maxis10 Reviewer Programme. That’s why you’ve been seeing me talking about it a lot in my Twitter.

I’m sure you are looking forward to this post. I’m going to share the video with you first. More details will come later because there are still some features that I forgot to include in the video 😉 Need to edit the pictures and compose the post. Stay tune! (scroll down for updated details!!)

My very first attempt to do a video blog. Hope it won’t torture you ;p.

Here you go…


The specifications, in case you want to know.

In case you can’t see the phone clearly in the video.

The shorter button is for the camera and the longer one is the volume control. It’s hard to use, need to press it hard. Will talk about it more when I come to the camera part.

Left: I forgot about this feature. That way you don’t have to risk having your camera lens scratched since it’s protruding. Also, spare your hand from holding it and you don’t have to strain your eyes looking down in case you put in on a surface.

Right: The charger which was in the plastic bag in the video.

Size wise, the phone is a bit big for me ;p One thing for sure, I cannot slip it into my jeans back pocket like I usually do with my phone because I don’t like to carry a bag out. If I’m using this, I will have to carry a bag when I’m out and about. Slightly impractical for me.

On the other hand, it looks cool! I brought it out last night for dinner. I tried to use the camera function, I got quite a number of people staring at the phone when I tried to take photo of my food hehehe… One of the latest phones yo!

That’s all for the overview of the phone. Next up, we will be looking at the software interface and some functions.
