HTC 7 Trophy Pro Reviews

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit Like Unlike

For a $99 smartphone, the HTC Trophy is a good buy. It's $50 less expensive than the Droid Incredible 2, and we like its 5-MP camera, attractive interface, and solid build. You don't get a dual-core processor or multitasking (yet), but those looking for an inexpensive smartphone that's easier to use Android will be satisfied with the Trophy.

It may not be the most powerful phone in the world, but Trophy brings good performance to the table and is a great way for WP7 to make its debut on the Verizon network. Despite its small shortcomings -- most of which are due to Microsoft's WP7 requirements, like the absence of expandable storage or an option/menu capacitive button -- it's still a great phone that I would recommend for any Verizon customer who is a full-time or even part-time user of software from the Microsoft ecosystem.

As much as I like the Trophy, it is difficult to recommend mainly due to the fact that nothing about the phone makes it stand out from the competition. Even though it is a good WP7 phone, in comparison with other smartphones currently available the Trophy is lacking where it counts. If you bought a Zune, own an Xbox 360, or are married to Office, the Trophy will fit into your life just fine.

The HTC Trophy, Verizon's first Windows Phone 7, isn't a standout, but it will satisfy those who find Android's interface too complex.

The HTC Trophy isn't Verizon's most powerful or advanced smartphone, but if you don't need all the bells and whistles, the Windows Phone offers great ease of use and good integration of features in a sleek package.

Honestly, it’s rather disappointing to see that Verizon is recycling a previous model and making the Trophy as its launch Windows Phone 7 handset. Besides its world phone feature, there’s nothing spectacular to set it apart from the other recently released WP7 devices, but its $150 on-contract price makes it an even harder sell at this point. Unfortunately, this is the only solution available to customers who wish to experience WP7 – meaning, you’ll need to accept it for what it is.

Windows Phone 7 prides itself in excellent Microsoft Office support, Web 2.0 services, Facebook integration, cloud storage and so on. The HTC 7 Trophy is a well-built tool that does just that and a good addition to the WP7 lineup. It’s pricey but it can’t help it, it’s far from stellar in terms of specs because it observes the chain of command. It’s got to deal with a number of limitations forced upon by Microsoft. But it’s good looking and well built – and it’s got the pedigree, you can’t deny it.

Compared to its WinPho 7 brethren, the HTC Trophy doesn’t have a whole lot to help it stand out. However, it is a very fast and capable smartphone with good social networking facilities and its current Vodafone exclusive options are quite reasonable too.

We aren't yet convinced that Windows Phone 7 has what it takes to gain an edge on Android, iOS and RIM's operating system for BlackBerry. But Microsoft is certainly working hard on it - and the HTC 7 Trophy shows it off to good effect.

Thanks to a neat design and relatively low cost, this is definitely one of the choice Windows Phone 7 handsets out there. However, we're still not entirely convinced that Windows Phone 7 is in fact the best choice of mobile OS, so it's not a phone we'd out and out recommend. We recommend reading our in-depth look at Windows Phone 7 so you can see for yourself whether it's for you.

As a handset, the HTC 7 Trophy is nicely made and sensibly styled as an attractive modern smartphone. It can be quite speedy in use. Running Windows Phone 7, it often has a slick and fluid interface that can trump Android phones. But we also encountered various issues of individual app and complete OS failures – likely to be related to the choice of smartphone operating system, or perhaps just to its integration with this hardware. However we cannot find anything compelling in this handset or its software platform to make a recommendation.

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.

A smart phone with a large screen, fast processor and plenty of storage, but Windows Phone 7 isn't yet up to the standard of other mobile operating systems.

The HTC 7 Trophy is a winner after all. With solid specs, a nice rugged feel as well as solid performance across the board, the HTC 7 trophy delivers a great screen, great connectivity and great performance. Admittedly, the camera could be better and the screen bigger, however, we’d say the HTC 7 Trophy finds a good balance between price and performance.

It’s not the prettiest, nor is it the most feature-packed Windows Phone 7 handset out there, but what the HTC 7 Trophy offers is a cheap entry point into the new Microsoft eco-system. That said, you might find if your friends have gone for other models within the Windows Phone 7 family, you may quickly become rather envious of what they can do and you can’t.

Overall, the HTC 7 Trophy is a good handset, with all the expected features of a high end smartphone. However, with Windows Phone 7 still in its infancy and no microSD card slot or current Mac support.

HTC's Trophy is not the best smartphone on the market. It's not even the best Windows Phone 7 phone. To make matters worse, you'll often find the Trophy sitting side-by-side with the equivalently priced LG Optimus 7 when shopping for a new WP7 handset in Europe -- both are €49.90 on contract with Vodafone in Germany or free in the UK with monthly plans starting at £25 (our review unit is sold by Coolblue in The Netherlands for $499). And honestly, given our choice, we'd opt for the Optimus 7 given that it matches the Trophy spec-for-spec yet includes a better exclusive software suite, a beefier 1,500mAh battery, and double the internal storage at 16GB.

First impressions of the HTC 7 Trophy are good, but we find ourselves drawn in opposite directions to the size of the HD7 and the looks of the Mozart. All that might be irrelevant if you are a happy Vodafone customer, as this would be your only HTC option - so your choice would really be between HTC and the LG Optimus 7.
