Windows Phone 7 is about to make its way to Verizon Wireless after many months of speculation. The device, HTC Trophy, will be the first WP7 device on Verizon and will help to spread the reach of WP7 to consumers.
Although the device is a bit dated and has been out on other carriers for some time, it is an option for Verizon users looking to experience Microsoft"s latest OS. To help sweeten the deal, when a consumer buys the device, they will also get a free Xbox 360 game too. Consumers will have a choice of Halo: Reach, Kinect Sports and Lode Runner.
The device specs out at:
1 GHz Snapdragon® processor
· WVGA 3.8-inch touchscreen
