The HTC HD7, set to go on sale tomorrow Nov. 8 at T-mobile, has no native WiFi calling according to manufacturer HTC. In an email response received by one of our readers, a HTC representative responded to questioning about native WiFi calling on the device by saying,

I understand how important it is to be able to find out if a device has Wi-Fi Calling or not. The HD7 comes with Windows Phone 7 which does not come with Wi-Fi Calling. It does come with the Windows Marketplace where you may be able to find a third party application that will allow you to do this. Please be aware, HTC does not support any third party applications. Any support needed for these applications would need to be obtained from the developer of that application. For more information on the new Windows Phone 7 devices, you can go to http://www.windowsphone7.com. You can also receive up to date information by following us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/HTC or on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/HTC.

So there you have it folks- if you want WiFi calling on your HTC HD7 you’ll need to look to third party solutions in the Windows Marketplace. Not a big deal, but it’s always nice to know what you are getting into prior to updating your phone and signing over the next 2 years with a contract.

In other related HTC HD7 news, early reviews have suggested that the HD7 suffers from the same pink tint photo issues that plagued early HD2 devices. The HD2 issues were later resolved in a firmware update so the same can be expected for the HD7.
