Called Verizon Today

It's not a super-LCD? How does the screen look? Is it bright, clear, etc?

Honestly, the screen seemed bland to me. The colors of the tiles were dull. Also, it is very light, which doesn't appeal to me. I love the weight of my Thunderbolt.

Must be an LCD

 

[Wireless Vet]

Thanks, WV, that pretty much sums it up. Well, May 26th it is!

So if this was on 4G, would you get this phone, because of the OS?

I would try it on my employee line if it was 4G

It is, I asked specifically

 

[camaroguy]

It is, I asked specifically

This is sad news. Was one of the few selling points of the hardware

 

[jdelroyc]

That's a bit of a bummer, not sure why they would go with LCD as opposed to SLCD. Did they talk price at all?

I love a beautiful, clear, vibrant screen. That, it is not.

We asked on price and he said it wasn't set but he figured 199

Here we go:

HTC rep says May 26 release date.

Rep states the phone just finished its official testing yesterday.

LCD screen.

5 mp camera

16 g memory


No initial support for flash, no mobile hotspot feature. Does support Silverlight.

My thoughts? I am impressed with the OS, it seemed smooth and trouble free. Love the Xbox live capabilities. Like the tiles. But, disappointed it doesn't support Flash. And once you are used to 4G like I am, its hard to be excited about a 3 G phone. I typed this quick so fire away with questions.

any idea if the storage will be user-accessible?

With a screwdriver and some patience

Don't quote me on this: I was playing with the phone when that was asked and I believe the answer was that it was internal

HTC rep says May 26 release date.

good to see that there is finally a real date for this. unfortunately, in my case it's too late since I already jumped ship and went with T-Mobile cause I got tired of waiting. For those of you who have kept up the vigil I congratulate you on your patience and wish you much happiness with your imminent new WP7 phone!

 

[Vallos]

I played around with the HD7 at T-moblie, and I was unimpressed with the screen. So I imagine the Trophy will be no different. Can you confirm the screen on the HD7 Wolf?

 

[Vallos]

WV, can you confirm if this will come with the NODO update?

 

[thed]

I've tried not to listen to the spec haters regarding this phone because I was holding out hope for the SLCD. But if it's really not SLCD then I think it's safe to say that this will be the worst WP7 handset out there. Disappointing.

That said, I'll still buy one. It's all about the OS.

 

[camaroguy]

WV, can you confirm if this will come with the NODO update?

IT HAS TO in order to support CDMA, its been said a million times....YES.

 

[Wireless Vet]

WV, can you confirm if this will come with the NODO update?

I can not, but I have the HTC reps email and will check on it

 

[Random of Amber]

It's all about the OS.

Exactly. Besides, I'll be transitioning from a Touch Pro 2, so it won't take much to please me.

 

[Sakic26]

I can not, but I have the HTC reps email and will check on it

Can you ask the rep why they backtracked from the SLCD to the LCD? All this waiting and I have to say, from what you have said, am very very disappointed.

This is not a personal attack, this is not meant to offend; I hope it ends up being everything you all wanted. Overall, I'm not impressed
