WinRumors noted final week that Verizon was poised to announce its initial Windows Phone 7 device, possibly the moment this week. In spite of Verizon;s claim that it “had not set a date for a (WP7) device launch,
Office 2010 Product Key,” there may be some of the expected Verizon HTC seven Trophy devices floating around.On February 28,
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, Engadget posted a screen shot of the purported Verizon Trophy handset. And on February 25, PPC Geeks posted a screen shot, also said to be of a Verizon HTC 7 Trophy. The PPC Geeks shot showed an alleged shot of the handset running the Windows Phone OS seven build number seven.0.7355.0.(The PPC Geeks screen shot is at right. Click on it to enlarge.)As Istartedsomething;s Long Zheng noted,
Office Home And Stude/nt 2010, that particular build is not the “NoDo” update for Windows Phone 7,
Office 2007 Ultimate, which Microsoft officials have said they plan to roll out in early March. Instead, Zheng said, the 7355 build is an interim build, which might be a pre-RTM build of NoDo. (NoDo, by the way, is the Windows Phone OS release that adds support for CDMA — which Verizon requires — among other features.)The HTC seven Trophy features a 3.8 inch screen,
Office 2007 Professional, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and 5 megapixel camera. MobileTechWorld.com has a walkthrough of the HTC 7 Trophy gadget.Microsoft officials are not offering any new clues or updates about Verizon;s planned Windows Phone seven launch. “We have nothing further to share beyond our earlier statement: ‘Verizon announced they will bring Windows Phone 7 to market in the initial half of 2011,;” a spokesperson repeated when I asked.WinRumors said final week that Verizon is expected to make the 1st WP7 Trophies available in late March. Sprint, the other U.S. carrier that only final week unveiled its 1st CDMA WP7 handset, is going to start shipping the WP7 HTC Arrive devices on March 20 for $199.In related news, there is still no refreshed release available from Microsoft of the very first OS update for Samsung WP7 handsets. Microsoft ended up yanking the version of the update for Samsung handsets final week after complaints by some users of a variety of problems, including some that bricked their handsets. This very first OS update is the precursor to the coming NoDo refresh.
