HTC Trophy is the first Windows Phone 7 on Verizon Wireless

Verizon announced today that the HTC Trophy will be the first Windows Phone 7 device on their network. The HTC Trophy will be available online on May 26th, and in Verizon Wireless Communication Stores on June 2nd for $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. If you buy the phone before July 15th you get a free Xbox 360 game.  You can choose from Halo: Reach, Kinect Sports and Lode Runner – up to $60 value.

The HTC Trophy is aimed at Xbox Live users, but of course supports all other Windows Phone 7 features.

HTC Trophy Features:

•     1 GHz Snapdragon® processor
•     WVGA 3.8-inch touchscreen
•     Surround sound through SRS WOW HD™
•     5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash
•     720p HD video capture
•     16 GB on-board storage
•     Wi-Fi connectivity: 802.11 b/g/n
•     Global ready - allowing customers to enjoy wireless voice and data service in more than 200 countries, with more than 125 with 3G speeds
•     HTC Hub-customization through downloadable applications that offer even more entertainment and productivity
•     View and edit Microsoft Office® documents, including Excel®, Word® and PowerPoint® with the Office Hub and data access on SharePoint® servers

The HTC Trophy is part of the first generation of Windows Phone 7 devices that launched at the end of last year. Gartner issued a report today that put the Windows Phone 7 sales at 1.6m for the first quarter of 2011. This still puts them far behind all other major smartphones.
