| by Sriram Gurunathan | Smartphones

After months of waiting, India has finally gotten its first Windows Phone 7 release – and there are two of them! The HTC India website has showcased the HD7 and the 7 Mozart, smartphones running the Microsoft smartphone OS. The phones pack in plenty of features like a 1GHz processor, 720p video recording and an internal GPS antenna along with the standard WP7 features like Zune and XBOX Live integration.

The HD7 and the Mozart - looking good

The HD7 sports a 4.3-inch multi-touch display at a 480x800 (WVGA) resolution. Its connectivity options include GPRS, EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi along with Bluetooth 2.1, a standard micro-USB interconnector and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It has 16GB of internal storage and 576MB RAM, a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash and 720p HD video recording.

The HTC 7 Mozart is nearly identical to the HD7, apart from the following specs. The internal storage and screen size are a reduced 8GB and 3.7-inches respectively, but it sports an improved 8 megapixel camera with auto-focus and Xenon flash and supports 720p HD video recording as well.

We’re glad we’re finally getting to see some Windows Phones 7, and we can’t wait to get our hands on these two babies. For more information, check out the official HD7 and the Mozart pages.

If you’ve used any of Samsung’s flagships in the past, you’ll be right at home with the new S4. We quite liked the handset during our brief encounter with it a few weeks back and after using it for about a week, we have come to like it even more.
