HTC Trophy, Black 16GB (Verizon Wireless)

While it did arrive in good shape, the battery didn't work and I had to buy a new one the day after I had the phone activated. Due to it being an older phone, it didn't have many options for finding special ringtones or apps I had access to on my previous phone. The point when I had to give it up was when I dropped it the first time. My fault for trying to juggle a bunch of things in my arms that day while I had a kid running around me but it fell and since then there was a problem with the screen. A part of the screen didn't work and I had to shut the phone off if I had to end a phone call or just wait for someone to hang up on the other end. I also couldn't use certain letters when I texted due to the same issue. In the end, I only had the phone for the summer before my mom helped me buy a new one at Verizon.

I purchased this phone as an inexpensive back up to my contract phone and am pleasantly surprised by what I found. It has a solid feel to it. Its smaller size make it easy to operate one handed. The sound quality is quite good. The ringer is loud enough that I can hear it in noisy, outdoor places. As an added bonus, I experimented with signing it onto Net 10's BYOD-CDMA program. After paying $15 for a network ID, it is up and running. I would definitely recommend this phone to those who want the reliability of Verizon's network without the 2 year leash and high cost. Just make sure you invest the extended battery as the standard battery it comes with WILL NOT last you through the day!

I lost my iPhone and was not eligible for a upgrade so I decided to get a cheaper phone from Amazon. Most of my complaints are about switching from an iPhone to a Windows phone. First, there are multiple apps that you can get on the iPhone that are not available on the Windows phone. Second, the apps that you CAN get on both phones are less developed and have more bugs on the Windows phone. Third, when talking on the phone, it is easy to push the touch screen buttons (speaker phone, etc.). Fourth, the default internet search in Bing, but you can go to google.com if this is preferred. It just takes an extra step. Fifth, syncing with email is sometimes a bit slow.Over all, the phone makes calls, checks email, and searches the internet. I would not advise someone to switch from an iPhone to a Windows phone, but it is sufficient enough if you need something to tide you over until you can get an upgrade.

This is a very good Windows phone. There are two things I would change though. The battery life isn't all that great. It can get you through a day if you don't check Facebook or browse the internet heavily. Also, the WIndows OS that's on the phone needs to be updated out of the box, but it's a complicated process to update it. It's not like Android where it'll tell you that an update is needed. Otherwise, good phone for a good price.

For a 2 year old phone, it still holds up to the standards of today. Microsoft did a good job of optimizing this OS, even though the app store is not the most populated when compared to the "other guys", the applications & functions that you need and use on a daily basis such as texting, map navigation, checking email, and making calls are incredibly smooth and responsive.4 out of 5 stars solely on the lackluster app store.

We love the phone. Menus are responsive and apps open quickly. My only complaint is the camera is not very good. The slow shutter speed makes it difficult to take a good picture. Also, there are many basic apps that are not available for Windows phone 7, like Pandora. We bought this as a temporary phone for my wife after her iPhone was dropped in water.

I got this as a replacement phone for my sister to use with Page Plus. So far it works great. The interface is very slick and responsive, I'm a fan. Unfortunately there are not as many apps as for apple or android, but if you don't care about that, this is a great phone to get.

I loved the 1st htc trophy that I purchased through my carrier so much, that when it came time to look for another phone...this is the phone I chose. The screen on my 1st was scratched up and there were water marks on the screen from dropping it in a puddle.This was my phone time buying an electronic device from amazon. It was brand new. All the cords and accessories were in the box. After completing the mango update through Zune, I had my old phone back again!
