Remember that HTC 7 Pro that was floating around a while back, but certainly wasn’t released back when all the other Windows Phone 7’s came out? We just got one and we’re going to unbox it. This is the European GSM version and you can get it from Clove.co.uk. Of course it’s only got the European 3G UMTS bands, so if you’re in the U.S.A. like me, you’re only going to get EDGE speeds.

It’s no secret that Microsoft sometimes developes software for competing platforms and often snubs their own products in the process.
