Telstra has become the latest to announce an exclusive handset release aimed for March.
The Australian telco giant will be the exclusive retailer of the new HTC HD7, the Microsoft Windows 7-based smartphone.
The phone features a 4.3-inch capacitive-touchscreen LCD panel and will capture 720p (1280×720-pixel) video via the on-board camera.
It’ll be available for $768 prepaid or on a 24-month plan however, Telstra has yet to announce which plans the HD7 will be available on. However, the telco says it will be either on a NextG Cap plan or a Business Mobile Plus offering.
It’s not clear if the prepaid price is unlocked (although given Telstra’s track record, we strongly doubt this).
The phone will be available from March 29 at Telstra stores.
