Cellular Phones/HTC HD7

Question
Hi,
I am looking to buy a new phone preferably with Windows 7 software and have come across th HTC HD7. I was wondering if you could tell some pros and cons of the HD7 and if there are any better HTC devices (windows 7 or not) or phones available from other manufacturers with Windows 7 that are better than the HD7. The phone I'm looking for is one that I need for travelling and I liked the HD7 because it seemed to offer a wide range of services.
Thanks for you help

Answer
I think that the Android operating system devices are better than Windows 7 and if given the option, I would go the route of Android if possible. HTC definitely makes the best Windows 7 devices so any HTC that is within your budget and is new would be fine. I think they are by far the best for Windows 7. But like I mentioned earlier, check our Android first before spending all that money on an HTC. They are also very expensive.
