I am afraid that nothing from HTC has impressed me. Only some versions of the HD7 coming with 16GB storage...its not even certain on the HD7 "flagship" device! The Surround seems a big gimmicky to me, I mean how "surround" will audio be from tinny little phone speakers? Headphones are always going to win out.
The Mozart at least has an 8mp camera. I am not that fussed I use a proper camera for pix, but I can see how this is a big deal for some people who aren't happy to carry another (one or more) cameras around.
Really, the HD7 should have debuted with a faster processor, bigger storage and something to make us go WOW!

I am not a big fan of LG generally...hard to think it comes from the same family as my fridge (same goes for Samsung) but due to early availability where I live I am seriously considering the LG Optimus 7. It's got 16GB storage unlike a lot of other models and so far is the only model crowing about DLNA integration as well "scan search" which is a bit like google googles combined with Bing location information. Looks cool if you nosy on the LG website.

Meh, I am not into keyboards, but the Dell looks nice. Everything else is minimum specs like a lot of these phones.

 |  | Focus (Cetus / i917) | 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 | 4" 480 x 800 Super AMOLED | 8GB (microSD expansion up to 32GB by factory) | 5MP, LED flash, 720p | |
 |  | Omnia 7 (i8700) | 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 | 4" 480 x 800 Super AMOLED | 8GB | 5MP, LED flash, 720p at 25fps | |
Without a doubt these will have the best screens at launch. The Omnia7 is a very close second for me, just for the screen. If they had made that with 16GB and DLNA I would have paid A LOT for it! Samsung has a history of enabling DLNA on its mobile devices, I am very surprised to have seen anything about it on the WP7 phones. I bet it will come...
