This giveaway is now closed; it had to be short because of Christmas. Random.org picked comment #15. Congrats to Gina! Thank you to all who entered and helped spread the word.
I get to be the #attphonefairy’s assistant! I have confidence that I can assist her better than the tooth fairy because I’ve been lousy with that position. [I guess I don't know for sure that the #attphonefairy is a "her."] Anyhow…the fairy sent me an HTC HD7S phone to try. I’ve had it for 5 days. Before I tell you what I think of it here’s the official specs straight from Amazon
- 3G-enabled Windows Phone 7 smartphone with extra-large 4.3-inch touchscreen for fast typing on virtual keyboard and excellent multimedia
- Windows Phone 7 OS provides easy access to social networking, personal/corporate e-mail, office apps, Xbox LIVE games, streaming media, and more
- 5-megapixel camera with HD 720p video capture; 16 GB internal memory; Wireless-N Wi-Fi; Bluetooth stereo music; GPS for navigation and location services
- Up to 4.5 hours of talk time, up to 276 hours (11.5 days) of standby time; released in June, 2011
- What’s in the Box: handset, rechargeable battery, charger, USB charge and sync cable, wired stereo headset (with microphone), quick start guide
- Size (LWH): 4.8 inches, 2.68 inches, 0.44 inches
- Weight: 5.76 ounces
- Network Compatibility: UMTS
- Minimum Rated Talk Time: 300 minutes
- Minimum Rated Standby Time: 276 hours
- Battery Type: Lithium Ion
Now here’s what I think:
It’s a very cool phone, but I prefer Android based. I’m active with social media and online things that Windows doesn’t have apps for. The Windows based phone is great for people that:
- like to use Zune for their music,
- play games through xBox live – you can connect to it with this phone,
- play games on the phone,
- interact with other people you usually see in real life [shocking!],
- watch movies,
- and keep track of the weather, stocks and stuff.
You can even do a bit of picture editing on the phone. I’ve been having a bit of trouble with the camera button. Hopefully with more use I’ll get the hang of it. It does take great videos.
I was surprised that they include headsets in the phone box. Makes sense since the phone is very good with music and radio. I’ve also been quite happy with the battery life of this phone. The flashlight app is fun and useful, and my kids had an hilarious morning playing with the talking dog game. And that’s as far as I got in 5 days!

Merry Christmas!
I posted it on facebook.
I love smartphones! Makes life easier on the go!
I would love a smart phone! Why? I don’t even have a cell phone. We used to have one but it did not work in Alaska and we just have never bothered to get a new one. So it’s been 5 years now and I would sure love to have one.
Thanks Jendi and Merry Christmas!

I have never had a smart phone before – so, I guess I don’t know what I am missing right?

I have an Android phone…my first smartphone after many years with a dumbphone!! I’ve only had it for about 11 months and I do like it, but it’s a Huawei cheapy one with Metro PCS so the speeds leave something to be desired…especially when compared to my husband’s iPhone 4 he has through his work!!
What a great Christmas gift this would make!

Ready to try something other than blackberry!
Totally ready to rid myself of my black berry . It constantly freezes so this would be well worth a try.
My first smartphone was a blackberry and Im ready to try something different.
I’ve never tried a smartphone before, but I hear they are great. I’d love to try one out!

Well, I would love to have this phone just because I’ve always wanted an internet phone and never had one. I gave up getting a smart phone at my last upgrade to get my son a phone. besides, a smart phone would give me something to do at work besides fall asleep. LOL
