We round-up the best Windows Phones on the market, from budget options like Samsung's Omnia W, to the powerhouse, flagship Nokia Lumia 900.

HTC HD7
The HTC HD7 impressed us with its massive screen and built-in kickstand, but a few annoying quirks in its design detract from this smartphone's overall appeal. The HD7 remains an excellent Windows Phone 7 smartphone but sits a notch below Samsung's Omnia 7.
