Cellular South introduced the HTC 7 Pro smartphone as its first Windows Phone 7. Featuring a sliding full QWERTY keyboard and tilt-up display, HTC 7 Pro also comes with a unique Start screen with Hubs and customizable Live Tiles. Depending on the app, the Live Tiles might show pending messages and appointments, news and weather, or game notifications and friend status – all continuously refreshed. It also lets the user customize people, apps, playlists, pictures, and other favorites to the Start screen, so they’re available at a single touch. The HTC 7 Pro is available for $199.99 with a new two-year service agreement and data plan and after a $50 mail-in reward card.
