No, Asurion is giving me one for my broken TP2 so I'll live with it for a while and if I really can't stand the coverage any more than the HD7s is always an option as I am not signing a contract.

So, yes, I am getting a HTC Trophy for Verizon...Just sometime next week (backordered)

I'm suprised she didn't mention anything about the HTC hub in the review. From what I've seen, that's a pretty neat little dealio.

3.8-inch WVGA TFT LCD with capacitive touch screen (from HTC's site)

HTC Mobile Phones - Trophy


And for you sprint people...

The HTC Arrive does not have the SLCD too.

3.6-inch WVGA capacitive touch screen

HTC Mobile Phones - Arrive

Anyone who would like to find out more, I think it's time to contact HTC support. It's been claimed and clearly listed that the GSM version of the HTC Trophy did come with a S-LCD but, it might of been swapped with a lower cost display to keep prices down, Thanks Verizon !!!!

see that's the crazy part of all of this, I checked both of those and it only shows the specs for the GSM models and not the CDMA ones. I still see spec sheets for both of them that say either SLCD or TFT I also read that these phones are capable of displaying millions of colors and I know that a TFT can't display that many colors.

what error message are u getting? try this method, sync to Gmail instead of hotmail (same directions except replace hotmail with Google) then go into AS on the imagio and sync the contacts to Gmail after that goto hotmail and import contacts from Gmail over, once again make sure the contacts aren't in groups and that the HTTPS box is unchecked. then when Unger ur trophy login to that hotmail account first and it should work. this is how I did it. u can also set up AS exchange to sync with hotmail instead of Gmail after this is done (it will delete then resync all the contacts).

Yesterday(release day) I called them up and just asked, I was put on hold for a few min but, they said ok. Nothing is in stone till I get it, claimed 3-7 days on backorder. I guess it makes sense for them, A new TP2 (still as you can get the GSM version) is $599-649, a new Trophy is $429.99.

Yea, I think it's 64K colors for the TFT, I'd have to look it up to be exact. I'm going to attempt to clear this up once and for all, I sent a email to HTC about the Trophy to find out for sure. I'll post back with the results when I get it. Claims so far say the Trophy screen is nicer than the Arrive's so maybe ?

when it try hotmail sync it says "Exchange Activesync encountered an error. if this condition persists, please contact your system administrator."

support code 0x85010001


now when i try google sync i get a error message as well, which is weird because when i had my touch pro 2 i was able to do this with no problems

it says "attention required" at the bottom

and for the result it says "Synchonization could not be completed. If this problem persists, try deleting then recreating the device's sync relationships

Support code: 0x800040005




and now the wait begins for fedex to bring my htc trophy!!!

Yea, if I was in your case, I would be refreshing the Tracking display every 10 min...heh

I have to wait till sometime next week and I'm hating it so far !

I went to the Verizon store yesterday to check out the Trophy firsthand. The blacks on the screen looked washed-out. Overall the screen did not even come close to looking as good as the AMOLED screens on the Droids right next to it. For kicks, I did try turning up the brightness on the Trophy and it was already on the highest possible setting.

I have been waiting for a WP7 device to land on Verizon since AT&T got their devices. After seeing the Trophy, I think I might hold off and see what other WP7 phones Verizon has in the pipeline.
