“When HTC launched the HD7 and Trophy they upgraded the color depth to 32 bit, which was outside of Microsoft’s design requirements of 16bit. Microsoft implemented the design standards to help ensure the best possible and consistent experience for all customers on all Windows Phones. To continue to deliver a stable and consistent customer experience, HTC returned the devices to the 16 bit design requirements as part of the March (7.0.7390) update.

The color palette change should not make a noticeable change to most customers experience on their Windows Phone 7. Microsoft’s goal is to ensure that the device is performing as optimally as possible – and as always their engineering teams continue to investigate the opportunities for future improvements.” Aled T, Microsot Support

As you might expect, that didn’t go down well with HD7 and Trophy owners. “I think it makes a BIG difference. Everywhere” Trophy user Santiago Castelo suggests. “Apps, games, photos, videos, bing background, lockscreen, marketplace… it’s everywhere, and in some places (like the marketplace shots) it looks terrible.”

Castelo has shared a gallery of shots (one of which is above) showing just how his phone now displays various images and how they’re meant to look. It seems Microsoft turned off 32-bit support but didn’t turn on dithering, leaving the handsets looking distinctly underwhelming.

As well as having CDMA/EVDO Rev.A connectivity for use in North America, the Trophy will also be able to use the GSM/UMTS networks more prevalent in Europe and elsewhere. Considering the Arrive will be little use beyond WiFi when travelling internationally, that’s a big bonus for frequent flyers.

Now for the bad news; according to a Verizon source who is supposedly “involved with the phone,” we shouldn’t expect to see it launch until June. Previous rumors had pegged a late March release, but according to this new information Verizon is still testing it with its large corporate partners.

That makes some degree of sense considering that, in Europe, the Trophy is a carrier-exclusive with Vodafone, the part-owner of Verizon Wireless in the US. The smartphone was part of HTC’s original Windows Phone line-up back in October 2010.

Back when we reviewed the Trophy – in its GSM form – we found it to be a solid handset with, thanks to Microsoft’s stringent minimum specifications, little to differentiate more expensive models from what HTC told us was the cheapest device in its Windows Phone range. Still, we can’t help but think that we’d rather have the HTC 7 Pro, freshly announced on Sprint last week as the HTC Arrive.

The exact handsets themselves are unconfirmed, but a leaked flyer from earlier this year did suggest that Verizon would be offering the HTC 7 Trophy. Meanwhile Sprint is expected to offer the HTC 7 Pro. Microsoft is also expected to release a firmware update for Windows Phone 7 at the turn of the new year, along with a second at MWC 2011 in February.

Hardware

While the HD7 has its huge, eye-catching display, the Surround has its slide-out speaker array and the Mozart its tactile metal chassis, the HTC Trophy falls somewhat short of any stand-out abilities. Fronted by a 3.8-inch WVGA touchscreen and the usual Windows Phone 7 buttons – touch-sensitive back, home and search keys under the display; lock/power on top, a volume rocker on the left and camera shortcut on the right – the Trophy has a microUSB charge/sync port, 3.5mm headphones socket and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera and an LED flash. The top edge of the handset is steeply angled, which leaves both the headphone jack unusually tilted; meanwhile the sleep/power button can be tricky to press, unless your finger is at just the right angle.

Inside there’s the standard 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8250 processor paired with 576MB of RAM, a 512MB ROM and 8GB of non-expandable storage. Wireless options include GSM/UMTS/WCDMA, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, along with GPS and an FM radio. HTC’s somewhat arbitrary positioning suggests the Trophy is the WP7 smartphone for gamers, though there’s nothing really in the specs or software to distinguish it from its range counterparts.

Build quality is fair, though we missed the sturdy metal of the Mozart. The back cover is finished in soft-touch plastic, but pulling it off – which requires jamming a fingernail into a cut-out on the top edge – reveals it to be on the thin side. Again, metal would’ve been preferable, and there’s no HD7-style kick stand either. Underneath, HTC has borrowed their sometime-scheme of using a distinctive color finish that you’ll seldom see, with the whole rear panel finished in a custardy-yellow. The only design flourishes on the outside, however, are a little chrome in the screen surround. As for the display itself, viewing angles are better than on the HD7, but still nowhere near the best we’ve seen on a Windows Phone 7 device; still, viewed straight-on it’s crisp and bright.

Software

We’ve covered Windows Phone 7 comprehensively in our Technical Preview, together with our Samsung Focus, HTC 7 Mozart and HTC Surround reviews, and we’d recommend reading those to gain a better understanding of what Microsoft’s new platform brings to the table.

In short, though, the combination of well-tuned software and speedy hardware makes for an enjoyably swift device. The homescreen, with its distinctive tiles, can be as straightforward or as flexible as you want it to be, and the animations – the tiles tilting slightly as you tap them, lists and menus bunching up as you reach their limits, different screens pivoting into place as you move between them – never feel as though they’re holding up the core functionality in the name of visual gloss. Although we like HTC’s Sense enhancements on Android, WP7 feels more consistent with the suite of customizations corralled neatly into the HTC Hub.

The Hub consists of a suite of mini-apps that more closely resemble the company’s Sense experience on Android devices. Loaded via a dedicated tile on the homescreen, it’s packed with HTC’s favorite weather animations and a selection of mini-apps including a flashlight, basic photo editor, stocks app, notes app (in which the notes visibly age the older they are), a sound equalizer and a converter app. HTC has also said it will be releasing further apps for the Hub for users of its devices. While they all work, the overall theme sits uncomfortably with the regular Windows Phone 7 UI, and Microsoft’s decision to prevent OEM modification of the core visuals of the OS means it’s easy to forget HTC’s extras.

The following two videos give a broad overview of the various applications and features preloaded and available through the Windows Phone Marketplace. While they show the Samsung Focus, the core phone experience is basically identical. In them, you can see the Seesmic Twitter app, browsing on the IE7/IE8 based WebKit browser, the calendar (which supports day, month and agenda views, but no week view) and more.

Windows Phone 7 walkthrough one:

Windows Phone 7 walkthough two:

Camera

The Trophy’s camera is capable of 5-megapixel stills or 720p HD video, though like other Windows Phone 7 devices the latter bizarrely defaults to a lower resolution and must be changed every time you flip over to video recording. It’s a frustration, and easily forgotten when you suddenly spot something worth filming.

The two-stage camera shortcut button on the side allows you to lock focus with a half-press, and happily the Trophy doesn’t spend too much time hunting. The key itself is also more reassuringly solid than that of the HD7, which makes for less wobbly shots. With no Xenon flash, unlike the Mozart, you’re left with a single LED and, unsurprisingly, mediocre low-light performance. Outdoor images are clear but lack detail and can show unpleasant amounts of digital noise when enlarged, though colors are generally well balanced if lacking some of the more natural saturation from the Mozart’s shots. Indoors, or at night, and the LED flash underwhelms, with images tending to the murky.

Video, meanwhile, is solid if not stand-out, and pretty much matches what we’ve seen from other recent 720p-capable smartphones. Again, low-lighting leaves things murky, blocky and uninspiring, but given ample daylight to play with, the clips are reasonable jag-free. Windows Phone 7 lacks any sort of video upload abilities (you can email photos, but they’re automatically resized) so the only way to offload them is via the PC or Mac sync apps.

HTC 7 Trophy 720p HD video sample:

Phone & Battery

In-call audio is good, as long as you’re using the earpiece rather than the speakerphone. Calls were clear and reasonably crisp, but the positioning of the Trophy’s loudspeaker on the raised camera bump means it’s wasting most of its energy talking to the table. Happily HTC offer an optional “Attentive Phone” app for download, which automatically turns on the loudspeaker if you flip the Trophy face-down. That done, audio is far clearer; HTC should probably have installed this out of the box as part of the Sense suite.

HTC opted for a 1,300 mAh battery in the Trophy, as with the Mozart and a little larger than what you’d find in the HD7. Official figures are up to 330 minutes of 3G talktime (405 minutes GSM) or up to 435 hours 3G standby (360 hours GSM). In reality, we managed a full day with push-email turned on and typical use (including some browsing, photography, media playback and apps), though taking advantage of the slightly-larger display for video did see the battery gauge drop a little faster than we’d have liked.

Wrap-Up

There’s a sense that HTC has had trouble positioning its Windows Phone 7 range, as evidenced by the awkward – and unearned – “gaming” tag the Trophy has somehow acquired. With near carbon-copy specs, the Trophy instead falls back on its competitive pricing to differentiate itself; it’s a tricky strategy, as it leaves the smartphone at the mercy of carrier deals rather than relying on some stand-out feature of its own.

Unfortunately, the Trophy’s screen isn’t big enough to oust the HD7, high-quality enough to rival the Samsung Focus, and its camera skills fall short of the Mozart. Yes, you can have it from free on a £25 or higher contract on Vodafone in the UK, but there’s no shortage of Windows Phone 7 competition and we can’t help but think that, over the two-years of an average carrier agreement, we’d rather spend a little more and get better build quality or stronger functionality. The HTC 7 Trophy isn’t a bad handset, but it struggles to lift itself out from Microsoft’s WP7 launch line-up. If you like the OS – and we really do – there are better models out there running it.

This dude, who will be more than likely forgotten in about 10 minutes for his awesome achievement, is named Jourdan Templeton and is a Computer Science student at the University of Waikato. His feat is to be the first person in the entire world to purchase a Windows phone 7 handset, hooray for him! It appears that it might be a HTC 7 Trophy – a phone which, if you ask me, isn’t quite as hot as the HTC 7 Mozart. You be the judge whenever you get your claws on them.

[Via Twitter]

HTC had previously told us that none of their Windows Phone 7 devices would be available SIM-free and unlocked at the point of launch, since carriers had negotiated exclusives with the manufacturer.  There are three HTC devices – the HTC 7 Trophy, HTC HD7 and HTC 7 Mozart – which will arrive in Europe from October 21.

However Expansys is still showing their listing for the HTC 7 Trophy, albeit with the expected release date pushed back to November 11.  We’re checking in with Vodafone for a comment, but we don’t expect the carrier’s exclusivity agreement to be quite that short-term.

Update: We’ve spoken with Vodafone, who tell us that the HTC 7 Trophy will only be available through them.  Interestingly, they say that exclusivity is for the lifetime of the device, and that they currently have no plans to offer it on prepay or as a handset-only deal.

Amazon Germany, for instance, has the HTC HD7 listed for €599, albeit with no estimated release date.  It’s not just HTC devices either; the retailer also has the LG Optimus 7 up for preorder at €499, also with no release estimates.

Interestingly, HTC told us in a WP7 pre-brief that their devices wouldn’t be offered SIM-free and unlocked for an unspecified period after launch, since the first wave of handsets were all carrier exclusives.  If Amazon and Expansys are to be believed, that exclusivity period is a little under three weeks.

Update: Clove UK is also listing the HTC 7 Trophy, for £423 with initial stock expected at the end of October.

Update 2: Not so fast – HTC 7 Trophy preorders are being pulled all over, as Vodafone insists it has an exclusivity deal over the lifetime of the handset.

[via Unwired View]

The Trophy obviously features Windows Phone 7, the newest offering from Microsoft. Other features of the devices are similar to previously announced devices: you get a 5MP camera on the back, and you’ll find a 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood, making sure the device is snappy enough to keep up with you. There’s plenty of images in the gallery below, and a video will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

For more information and discussion about Windows Phone 7, check out Windows Phone Forums.

That gets you the phone – complete with its 3.8-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 8GB of onboard storage – together with 500MB of mobile data per month.  300 minutes talktime and unlimited text messages are also included.

As for the Vodafone LG Optimus 7, that will also be free but on a £30 per month agreement, also for two years.  It will get the same 500MB data allowance and unlimited text messages, but 600 minutes of talktime.  The Optimus 7 also has a 3.8-inch WGVA touchscreen and 5-megapixel camera, but doubles the onboard storage to 16GB.

The HTC 7 Mozart will be an Orange UK and T-Mobile UK/USA exclusive, and has a CNC “unibody” chassis in the same theme as the HTC Legend.  It has a 3.7-inch WVGA LCD TFT capacitive touchscreen, an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and a Xenon flash, and 8GB of onboard storage.  Like all of HTC’s Windows Phone 7 devices, it runs Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8250 chipset, together with WiFi b/g/n, 512MB of RAM and 384MB ROM (with a further 64MB on the Snapdragon).  HTC describes the 7 Mozart as their music-centric WP7 device.

The HTC 7 Trophy will be an exclusive to Vodafone and what the company expects to be the “most aggressively priced” of the new Windows Phone 7 devices.  It has a 3.8-inch WVGA display and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, and is described as focused on gaming and entertainment.

Finally for the European launch, the HTC HD7 (shown at the top) will be exclusive to O2 in the UK (and non-exclusive in the rest of Europe).  As the name suggests, the HD7 is the successor to the HTC HD2 and has a 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and HD video recording, and a kick-stand for propping the smartphone up for easier video viewing.  Two SKUs – with either 8GB or 16GB of onboard storage – will be offered, with the HD7 billed as “a cinema in your pocket”.

As for the HTC 7 Pro, the company has not yet revealed full details but we’re expecting the smartphone to have roughly the same specifications as the other three models only also toting a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for easier text entry.  It will be available in 8GB or 16GB versions, and be broadly available across European carriers before then end of 2010 and in North America – on Sprint and Rogers Wireless in the US and Canada respectively – early in 2011.  HTC is also promising a wider range of Windows Phone 7 designs from mid-2011 onwards.  More details on the AT&T HTC 7 Surround here.

All of the HTC Windows Phone 7 devices will have the company’s Sense-inspired Hub, complete with a custom Notes app – with Post Its that visibly age the longer you leave them – Lists, Flashlight app, Stocks/Shares, Weather, Photo Exchange, Sound Manager and “Love” (the latter being a bizarre “he loves me, he loves me not” flower-picking gimmick).  They’ll also support Dolby Mobile and Surround Sound.

Interestingly, none of the HTC Windows Phone 7 smartphones will be available SIM-free and unlocked at launch, unless you can persuade one of the exclusive carriers to sell you one.  That will undoubtedly change later on, but HTC refuse to be drawn on how long their exclusivity agreements are.

Press Release:
