Truly HTC is a company that throw lots of efforts making Android smartphones, but with the release of the new Microsoft Windows Phone 7 OS the company did not hesitate to start with some offers in that field as well. We remind you that HTC showed a complete line of 5 smartphones just with the launch of the new OS, all with a Qualcomm MSM8250 CPU at 1GHz that appears to be the minimum for the Microsoft platform.

HTC Trophy is created to be the most affordable Windows Phone 7 smartphone that packs a vivid 3.8" screen (480x800 pix) with pinch-to-zoom capability, Apps, music, action gaming, social networking and messaging. The smartphone is well balanced with size 118.5x61.5x11.96 mm and measures 140 g. It somehow resembles the first Desire, which is good for Desire was not a cheap model at launch. The body is plastic, but nice and stable to work with and the most important - with no trace of fingerprints.

Under the cover you will find the 1GHz Snapdragon processor that delivers split-second responsiveness, 576 MB of RAM, 512MB ROM and 8GB of internal phone storage. The memory slot is somehow forgotten, but anyway the space you have is pretty enough for the level of the device. The 1300 mAh Lithium-ion battery will survive up to 330 mins/435 hours in WCDMA mode or up to 405 mins talking if you use only GSM networks. For mobile Internet HSPA (Up to 7.2 Mbps download speed/Up to 2 Mbps upload speed) is supported as well as Wi-Fi. Connectivity includes also Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate and A2DP for wireless stereo headsets.

And here comes the entertainment! The HTC Trophy has a 5 МР camera with Auto focus and LED flash, capable of 720p HD video recording and built-in scenes include candlelight, landscape, and portrait match the environment of your subject. All photos can be seen on you device - from the camera Facebook and Windows Live accounts in the Pictures hub. Anyway, the quality of the 5MP pictures is not the best, but enough for sharing.

For music you have 3.5 mm audio jack for good quality headphones, while the Music and Videos Hub powered by Zune lets you listen to radio, download music, and more. The new Metro UI concept here we've already seen in the Zune HD is fresh and quite different from the other mobile interfaces we know. Changing the pages is easy and at full response. The sync with Zune is also quick and easy. We recommend you also to use the Sound Enhancer App, a virtual surround sound and equalizer sound effects for a richer listening and viewing experience. The Equalizer presets automatically mix bass, treble and vocal levels for maximum effect, whatever your favorite type of music is.

And do not forget the gaming we mentioned at the beginning. In the HTC Trophy it is connected with the Xbox Live platform for maximum fun. A whole new level of gaming and as Microsoft promised many more titles to come. In Windows Marketplace you can already find over 5500 Apps, both free and paid, so the only thing left is your time to enjoy.

The HTC 7 Trophy is a typical representative of the new Windows Phone 7 family of smartphones and is created to be at the most affordable price giving you the taste of a high end device in the same time.
