Review: AT&T's HTC 7 Surround Windows Phone 7 smartphone review

HTC 7 Surround Smartphone

I have been using this phone for about six weeks by now. Before I got the HTC Surround I used Apple's iPhone 3GS, and HTC Touch Pro. I will review not just the phone, because I think the OS is also very important when talking about HTC Surround.......
