HTC 7 Trophy

Available now
11th October 2010

Heading exclusively for the Vodafone network in Europe, the HTC 7 Trophy is one of several Windows Phone 7 devices announced by HTC and rivals today.

The Trophy has a slightly bigger screen but downgraded camera compared to the HTC 7 Mozart, and it is pretty close in specification to the rival LG Optimus 7.

Inside is a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB of flash memory, 3.5G support and WiFi. The camera is a 5 megapixel unit with Flash, and the Trophy is capable of HD video recording. The Trophy also comes with GPS, plus Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

At 119 x 62 x 12mm and weighing in at 140 grams, the HTC 7 Trophy is fairly typical for a device of this type, and it should fit easily into a pocket or bag.

Launching later this month, the Trophy will join a glut of similarly specified Windows Phone 7 devices, all looking for customers. And although the radically different approach to designing an operating system may win plaudits, the relative lack of applications may put people off.
