It all depends. I just found out I have a corporate rep on AT&T (already get a good discount on VZW) with a good discount.

So, I still stand, HTC Trophy on VZW or the HTC HD7s on AT&T, what ever comes first.

I went in over the weekened to a T-mobile place and played with the HD7 again, man what a nice phone....It could only get better with the SLCD display.

Verizon Trophy shows up in their online smartphone guide | wpcentral | Windows Phone News, Forums, and Reviews


As if there was any doubt left: the Verizon Trophy is near ready to launch, it's really happening.
First Best Buy, then the forums, then employee training, then a potential release date (May 12th) and now the phone has showed up on Verizon's interactive "online smartphone guide" in it's full glory.
Although they have yet to officially announce the device, this is pretty close to it and shows that this phone is finally on the cusp of release. So we can now say: yes, get excited, this looks real this time.

We've recieved some leaked screen shots this weekend showing more information and specifications about the upcoming HTC Trophy, which will be the first WindowsPhone 7 device for Verizon Wireless. Unfortunately a release date and price are still not listed, but we've been hearing it should be out soon.

Yesterday we reported that the HTC Trophy is going to be a global roaming device, and the new screen shots have confirmed this, as the phone will operate on CDMA, EVDO Rev A, Quad-band GSM & Tri-band UMTS networks.

Other features of the HTC Trophy include a 1GHz processor, 3.8" WVGA display, 5MP Autofocus camera with LED flash, 720p video recording, 16GB of on-board memory, 576MB RAM / 512MB ROM , FM Radio, and will support DLNA. The software will include an on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard, socialnetworking live tiles, Zune music and videos, Blockbuster and Netflix video streaming, Xbox Live integration,Windows Phone Marketplace, and there will be an HTML browser, but it appears that Flash is not yet supported.

Thanks to a friend for the info!

Besides the coming release of the HTC Merge, the document shows that the regional carrier will launch the WindowsPhone7 flavored HTC 7 Pro on June 14th. The document also shows a number of devices that have met the "End of Life". On the carrier's EOL list for this month is the Pantech Coach. Other names soon to depart the U.S. Cellular lineup include the Samsung Acclaim (May), BlackBerry Bold 9650 and the HTC Touch Pro2 (both in September).

Im glad that things are finally beginning to come together; with the delays we had to deal with, this had better perform like a quality device. I really hope VZW didnt mess with too much and add 15.9 GB of bloatware.

Does anybody know about good quality cases and accessories for this phone?

I was really looking forward to Verizon getting a WP7 phone but cutting edge is fleeting and so is my interest in the the Trophy. I've decided I'm too much of a hardware junky to settle for a phone that has a small battery, small screen (IMHO - anything less that 4.3" is smaller than I'd want), old processor (WP7 may not require as much processing power as Android but after building PCs for 25 years and upgrading my old phone through 3 releases - I KNOW you CAN'T have a processor that is too fast), no 4G (really a phone this late in the game and no 4g!?!) and other goodies available on the EVO 3D and the Galaxy S II.

Again to be clear, I really like WP7 but the hardware Verizon is offering is just too low end. I don't buy new phones every 6 months so I want really high end so it will last me a couple of years at least.

im hoping for a announcement tomorrow the only big hardware feature i wanted was a front facing camera but i can do without that for now even tho i still may wait til the 12th unless i can convince verizon to let me use my ne2 a few days early if it comes out this week...

i would kinda bank on it this week and then they'd release the revolution and the 2-3 other phones in that eguide the rest of this month
