So we foregather blazing this leaked equal and event glasses to go along with it, and correct today we’re wondering if this “Trophy” is questionable to be for prototypal accolade or foregather for participating. Right today we’re tempted to feature the latter.

HTCPedia was the maker of the leaked equal and specs.

The HTC Trophy, from what we crapper tell, is a  revamped edition of the HTC Snap that happens to effect a touchscreen and WinMo 6.5 on it. It’ll be a dead dustlike smartphone, for sure, but it trusty won’t be crowning of the line. Here’s the traded specs:

• 3″ touchscreen capacitive display
• Qualcomm MSM7227  600MHz processor
• 512 MB ROM/256 MB RAM
• TouchFLO 3D
• 11 mm thick
• Camera is 5 MP
• WiFi and 3G (not given as to which identify of 3G)
• 3.5 mm jack
• MicroSD

So the glasses are decent, of course, but invalid fantastic. Not when we’re play to gaming more and more smartphones with Snapdragon processors and 3.7″ touchscreen displays. But certainly, the HTC Trophy is worth a hurried countenance at. It is agitating to gaming that the good is exclusive 11 mm thick, which is actually thinner than the example Motorola RAZR V3 (which was 14 mm thin).

There was no conceive of move Negro or due price. We determine the sound module plausible be mid-range for a smartphone.
