Verizon’s first Windows 7 phone, the HTC Trophy, will go on sale May 26th in Verizon’s online store.
The Windows 7-powered device will be available in brick-and-mortar stores the following week, on June 2nd.
HTC Trophy Verizon will run on Verizon’s 3G service and feature a 3.8-inch WVGA touchscreen with 480 x 800 resolution, 1-GHz Snapdragon processor, 16 GB of memory, SRS WOW HD (for surround sound), a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and 720p HD video capture, and Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11 b/g/n). Consumers who purchase a HTC Trophy Verizon before July 15th will have their choice of a free copy of Xbox 360 titles Halo: Reach, Kinect Sports, or Lode Runner.
Windows 7 phones continue to trail behind Android and iOS-powered mobile devices, with a dismal estimate of 1.6 million phones sales in Q1 2011. Microsoft needs a flagship device to convince consumers to jump on the Windows 7 bandwagon. Photos of the HTC Trophy reveal a good-looking device, but that won’t be enough to stave off the competition in the coming months. The HTC Trophy Verizon is already outgunned by phones equipped with dual-core processors such as the HTC Thunderbolt and the upcoming Droid Bionic.
