Well I'm back to Windows Phone again.

Glad you had a chance to work it out and stick around.. Hope WP8 brings something worth waiting for!!
 
Those are some horrible options! Glad you were able to find a replacement WP.

oh absolutely, even the decent android phones at the 180-200 price range suffer from 3mega pixel cameras with no flash =/.

The thing is, I may not love WP7 like before, but I'll take a windows phone over a Android one for a cheap offering 100 times out of 100. If the 610 was something like 150 off contract, it will be amazing.
 
The HD7 (I also have one) is pretty much known in WP7 circles as having the worst battery life. 768mb of RAM instead of 512, a 4.3" screen, poor reception and a paltry 1230mah is NOT a good combo. I can kill mine in 2 hours if I'm trying, and without touching it I'm lucky to get 12 hours. They should've had a minimum battery size spec...

I think the problem is they just recycled the HD2 and put WP7 on it. They couldn't upgrade the battery because they didn't bother changing the design. Talk about lazy :P

This is why I sort of dislike HTC, it's like they don't care about WP7.

HD7 has 576MB of RAM,not 768.
 
1200 batteries were made with Nodo in mind. My Optimus 7 has a 1500 battery, it says on the back of the box "great battery life". Which was true before Mango, I could get up to 2 days of heavy use but now, I barely make it to the day. I don't really blame them for that.
