    Crap, I want the HD7, looks like i might be leaving rogers soon for HD7.

  2. HD7 is gorgeous, really is.

  3. wetworker says:

    That’s the one I wanted. Out of the lot Rogers got the worse one.

  4. It’s a shame, that’s what normally happens; Rogers doesn’t hop on device bandwagons until it’s the reject hardware left.

  5. wetworker says:

    How much do you think an unlock one will go for. HD7 that is.

  6. Well, it’s on Windows 6.5, right? And AWS…
    So frankly, not very much. Hit up @gurudaniel he may have interest

    it’s not the worse, but it’s not the best either! Samsung make the best screens!! the Focus has 4″ Super Amoled screen, and scratch-resistant glass! that’s not bad!! I’ve seen 2 variations, one with silver highlights on the sides, and another all black! I hope Rogers get the latter!! it looks much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x91cmj_dP_4
