The major smartphone operating systems are from Apple, (used on the iPhone) and Android, used by several manufacturers.

HTC made many Android phones, but it also makes the phones, using the new operating system Microsoft Windows phone 7.

We were impressed by the previous phones large screens and elegant design and a new trophy phone is also impressive.

The trophy is a good Smartphone, with beautiful bright and clear 3.8in pane. Pictures and videos looked impressive. Thanks to the Microsoft-specific minimum requirements for phones, Windows 7 is quick, can cope with even the most demanding of tasks.

However, while it looked great and was easy to use, some options too are hidden away and change the settings is difficult. Also, he is unable to connect to a hidden wireless networks: Microsoft thinking is that the hidden networks are less secure, but for those who must use them is a large gap.

Otherwise, Windows phone 7 is a very good mobile operating system. The icons on the screen at home shall be regularly updated with new photos, social network updates, appointments, and e-mail, which makes it easier to follow what is happening. HTC hub is also a welcome addition to the connection with applications for checking the time, play online games and watching videos on Youtube.

Software that Windows phone 7 uses to connect to the computer is called the Zune and not unfortunately is very good. We found irritating and fiddly to navigate – Microsoft is jazzed but has sacrificed an substance for style.

Five-megapixel camera is excellent. The pictures are crisp with well defined colors and auto-focus lens is very fast, even when taking photos of objects quite close-by. Flash may be poor, however, makes pictures in low light conditions seems very washed-out.

There are also 8 GB of storage, it connects with Bluetooth devices and has a GPS receiver for navigation with the aid of preinstalled Bing maps application.

HTC trophy 7 is capable phone with a large screen and an excellent camera. Comprehensive, this is one of the best smartphones, we have seen.
