Verizon’s HTC Trophy is a world phone, might not launch until June

mobile

Enthusiast blog wpcentral reported on Wednesday some new details surrounding what should eventually become Verizon Wireless’ first Windows Phone 7 device. Photographs of the phone obtained by the site reveal a few interesting tidbits, namely the apparent presence of both CDMA and GSM radios. We also get our first glimpse of Verizon’s My Verizon Mobile app for Windows Phone 7, which looks to shy away from Microsoft’s Metro UI in favor of a more typical layout. Finally, an image of highlighted text reaffirms the obvious — the Trophy is equipped with Microsoft’s first major software update for Windows Phone 7, which is a requirement for CDMA phones to function. Initial rumors pointed to a Trophy release in late March on the Verizon Wireless network, but wpcentral now reports that the phone might not launch until June.

    bad news for MS. they need as much WP7 exposure as they can get. at least, the HTC Arrive launches March 20 on Sprint.

    Really! End of June now? Verizon stinks at getting users what they want in a timely manner. I am so frustrated with them. Got my hopes up for March and now this happens.

      They’re going to get a bad reputation if they keep this crap up.

      You do realize that Verizon purchases the phone and then sell it. They have nothing to do with the build and development of the phone so if you mad that verizon is willing to spend more on phones to get a consumer a better quality phone then go to tmobile. shitty phones with a shitty network and then you wont have to wait as long for what you want. its the manufacturer that puts on the delay not the network.
