4G communications
MSM8x60 CPU (not yet certified for WP7)
1800 mah battery
BT 3.0
USB 3.0
11 mm or slimmer

I would have no issue with Verizon delaying the release of WP7 on their network by a couple of months for a much improved handset over the Trophy as it is mediocre at best. However I would want Verizon to give us a definitive on what handset they plan on releasing and what MONTH of WHAT YEAR they actually plan on releasing it.

Considering that they aren't selling the Trophy yet, is it too much to hope they are dumping that pig for something more inline with the EVO 3D hardware but running WP7?
Lets say VZW is developing a super WP7 device... what would be the logic behind not selling the phone that is already in their inventory and has been for months? It passed FCC approval, they made flyers for pre orders, it was ready to go (for all we know). Do you really think VZW will say to the pre-order customers: "You committed to the Trohy... but you're really getting this better phone!" I don't think so.

So my question is why wait? They dont when it comes to Droid phones.

WP7 doesn't need the internals of the super phones being announced... but some improvements would increase the headroom that the OS has and increase what it is capable of.
