Abstract: Earlier this year, HTC and Microsoft released a Windows Phone 7 device on Verizon Wireless. Called the Trophy, this is the one and only phone presently on Verizon sporting the Windows Phone 7 interface. With all the hype about "Windows 8" and the new...
Abstract: The thing with Mango is that it's more improved than it is new. There are a lot of updates to its unloved predecessor Windows Phone 7, but not so many totally new features. On the plus side, the browser has been updated to Internet Explorer 9, and we...
The Trophy is not the fastest or the most powerful phone in today’s market. It doesn’t have 4G support or a dual processor, but it is a solidly built phone that offers good all-around performance. Being smaller in size will be a plus to many users. Oth...

For a $99 smartphone, the HTC Trophy is a good buy. It's $50 less expensive than the Droid Incredible 2, and we like its 5-MP camera, attractive interface, and solid build. You don't get a dual-core processor or multitasking (yet), but those looking fo...
Abstract: Verizon Customers may say, "It's about time" with regards to the release of the HTC Trophy but I think they will be very pleased with their first Windows Phone 7 device. The Trophy completes the Windows Phone coverage for the major U.S. Wireless Carriers ...
Good multimedia capabilities, Responsive touchscreen,
Network speeds are inconsistent, Hardware is a bit dated
Honestly, it’s rather disappointing to see that Verizon is recycling a previous model and making the Trophy as its launch Windows Phone 7 handset. Besides its world phone feature, there’s nothing spectacular to set it apart from the other recently rel...
HTC’s Trophy is one of the best Windows Phone 7 devices we’ve used to date. It’s definitely a device we would enjoy carrying around day to day hardware wise. Unfortunately, Windows Phone 7 is still lackluster when it comes to features and apps compar...
Abstract: 4G LTE may be all the rage, but for Verizon Wireless customers that can't take advantage of the new service, there are some great high-end 3G smartphones out there. One of those is the HTC Trophy , Verizon's first Windows Phone and another smartphone that...

Abstract: Well, here it is. Windows Phone 7 on Verizon! For many of you out there, this phone is your very first taste of Microsoft's mobile platform reborn. It's a completely different beast that has a ton of potential. With that said, WP7 and the HTC Trophy are q...
The HTC 7 Trophy is truly a run of the mill Windows Phone 7 handset. It really is the bare minimum of what Windows Phone 7 handsets will be. One of the worries with Windows Phone 7 is that with each new handset that's released, it's harder and h...
