HTC MOBILE: HTC Trophy

HTC Trophy

Now, not only is the HTC Trophy Verizon's first Windows Phone device, but it also marks another addition to the carrier's global phone portfolio. Using dual-mode technology, the Trophy runs on Verizon's CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A network domestically, but once abroad, the phone will automatically detect and switch to a GSM network, so you can continue to use voice and data. You can do so in more than 200 countries, with 3G speeds in more than 125 countries. The handset comes with a SIM card preinstalled, but Verizon has a policy where it will unlock the SIM, provided that you've been a customer for more than 60 days and are in good financial standing. Unlocking the SIM gives you the freedom to swap out the SIM card for, say, a prepaid SIM you purchase from an international carrier.

Aside from world roaming capabilities, the HTC Trophy also features a speakerphone, call waiting, call forwarding, conference calling, voice dialing, and text and multimedia messaging. Stereo Bluetooth support, Wi-Fi, and GPS are also available to you, but those looking for 4G won't find it here. The Trophy is 3G only and doesn't offer mobile hot-spot capabiities.
