My reviews (Ethan's Review):

The HTC HD7 is a pride when you have it on your hands. Its so big people will be just amazed by it! Even the iPhone fans can't disagree. LOL

It packs with 1GHz processor which is common in these days, speeding up the performance with 576Mb of RAM that stands-out for smoothness.

It comes with WIndows Phone 7, a entirely new Operating System done by Microsoft, with Metro UI. The UI is definitely an eye-candy for every phone-fans! It may look simple but... aren't we buy expensive phones for simpler, faster purposes? ^^

The 4.3" display really is stunning! but it uses normal LCD screen rather than S-AMOLED or even SLCD. But anyway, still nice. Videos are great on this phone while you can sit back and enjoy because there is a kickstand! What's a kickstand? Look at the picture above and you'll notice there is a metal stand attached to the back of the phone.

The new Sense Hub replaces the Sense UI in the old HD2, as WP7 doesn't allow other UIs currently.

Pros:
1) Fast and smooth OS
2) very big screen for multi-purposes (videos, show-off! etc XD)
3) very smooth typing!
4) everything is neat!

Cons:
1) internal memory of 16GB is enough but you may not expand it like old WM devices do!
2) No Multitasking!
3) Cannot view flash content on the internet.(unlike Android)
4) No front-facing camera (just like the old HTC HD2)


Overall:
It is a nice phone, but does it worth the change from HTC HD2 to HD7?
My opinion:
NO
since HD7 shares almost the same specs like the HD2
HD2 has great developments in the xda forum.
HD2 can port Android
HD2 will soon port Windows Phone 7.

Yeah, so it's not a good choice if you're planning to change your HD2 now. =)

Next review: An Android Phone. Stay tuned!

iPhone 4

The iPhone 4, is one of the anticipated phone in this year. As because of that, this will be my 1st post.

I believe most of the teenagers or even children rated iPhone as the best phone in the world.(referring to those who never had a look at other smartphones) But is iPhone 4 really that updated? Let's have a look.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios4
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

About the reception issues you all have heard about it, its not really a big deal if the iPhone 4 is covered.

As you can see, iPhone 4 really do improved a lot than 3GS. But to say that iPhone 4 "changes everything, again", I don't really agree with that.


IN MY OPINION

The design of iPhone 4:
-Newer design and looks firmer than the predecessors.
-has a metallic design at the sides, making it more "high-tech" finish.
-Sharper and brighter displays making it great to look at.
-3.5" of touch screens is just good enough for multi-touch

The specs of iPhone 4:
-Its A4 processor chip gives the iPhone 4 greater performance.
-The iPhone 4 has a 512Mb of RAM which is great in multitasking.


The Pros
1) Everything looks smooth and fast, just like how an iPhone should be.
2) This thing is recognised by lots and lots of people. People will AWE at your new toy.

The Cons
1) iOS looks a bit... old don't ya think? Though they've implemented folders in the new OS, nothing catches the sight when it comes to the homescreen except its retina display
2) Its FaceTime is only applicable to only iPhone 4 to iPhone 4/iPod 4 only.
3) You'll get bored easily by its looks because its too common. A lot of people have it!

There are more.. But I think I'm better off to the next phone. I ought to catch up some updated models. =)
