Leaked Verizon road map reveals April 15th HTC 7 Trophy launch

The previously rumoured release of the HTC 7 Trophy by Verizon has been pushed back from last week, the 24th March to the 15th April, according to a leaked Verizon roadmap acquired by Phandroid.

The document confirms the handset will be a global device, with both GSM and CDMA capabilities, and previous FCC documents have oddly found the GSM frequencies covered include AT&T’s 3G bands on 850 and 1900 Mhz.

The handset will otherwise be identical to the GSM version, except for being endowed with a generous 16 GB storage, vs 8 GB on the GSM model.

Of course as per usual, all dates are subject to slippage, but then us Windows Phone users should be used to that by now.

Why no Omnia 7???

Good question. There has been no WP7 subject that commands my attention more than what phone(s) Verizon is getting and when. As someone that looks to hopefully do some international traveling before the year is up, the Trophy has its appeal for sure. But the Omnia 7 is the best looking device I've seen and daddy want.

Verizon is very secretive about this stuff (to an extreme degree), but if it was coming I'd imagine we would've heard rumblings by now (Trophy rumblings have been going on since last year).

Well, there was a post on this site some time ago saying that an Omnia device would be coming to Verizon.

I can't beleave how much Verizon does not like Microsoft,_can anyone else read between the lines ,_they 1 could have released the trophy 3 to 4 weeks ago in other leaks but they held off _2 they are now waiting to release the trophy the day after androids playstation phone gets released on verizon ! what a crock of @#*$&

Reality check… Verizon lags in everything. The 4G ThunderBoly was delayed several weeks too and by all accounts due to iPhone.WP7 CDMA support is in it's infancy.

Verizon lost their chance at my business. I was ready to switch to Verizon, because my fiance really wanted the Droid X, but only when the HTC Trophy was out. After constant delays we got tired of waiting. She found a galaxy droid phone she liked enough and after comparing the HD7 to the Samsung Focus I went with the Samsung focus and stayed with AT&T.

Uhh, now I'm confused. Is this the same as the HTC HD7s thats due to come out on AT&T or is this a different model? What's different?

any new windows 7 phones coming out? Win 7 seems dead…

Everywhere but Verizon! They are supposed to get the Trophy as you see above. They are the last major carrier in North America (that I know of) that is not offering a Windows Phone 7 phone.

It does amaze me how slow Verizon is to the game…but…they want everyone including Microsoft that they will not be pushed around. Verizon doesn't care what the customer wants…they want what they want..your two year contract and high price on a phone…WOW what a wonderful company..if AT&T's signal didn't suck so bad here in VT I would have switched months ago.

I'm ready for my trophy!!!!

http://www.windowsphonemedia.com. There are a bunch of posters that started out in the WP7 backstage discussions a year before the phone was released. Look for the Blogroll on the left hand side of the main page and choose the windows phone forum.

I just read an article about a guy getting the run around from verizon support for a month trying to get tv service added to his VZ internet contract. He got next day results by emailing the Verizon CEO.
So, I sent him a polite email asking when VZW would be shipping a WP7 device. My Verizon contract ended several months ago and i'm waiting on a WP7 to renew.
