HTC Mozart

At 3.7-inches, the Mozart is the smallest of the WP7 phones HTC is announcing today. Produced from unibody aluminum (and plastic) like the G2, will probably be exclusive to T-Mobile within the US when it goes on sale 7th November.

It trumps the WP7 handsets announced by LG and Samsung today, with an 8MP camera and Xenon flash, and likewise has Dolby Mobile and SRS Wow HD for ” virtual surround sound.”

Otherwise, it’s much like the alternative WP7 phones HTC has announced, with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM and 576MB of ROM, and 8GB of internal storage. The phone itself measures 119 x 60.2 x 11.9mm, and weighs 130 grams. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a G-sensor, ambient light sensor and GPS are natural inclusions.

It also has the HTC Hub apps comparable to Flashlight and Notes, that’s a neat little pin-up board for writing sticky-notes on, which get tattier and dustier the longer they’re left on there.

In the UK, the HTC 7 Mozart will probably be exclusive to Orange and T-Mobile from October 21st, and T-Mobile inside the US from November 7th.

HTC Trophy

Meanwhile, the Trophy is meant to be HTC’s budget WP7 phone, but really, once we’re talking about something made by HTC, and squeezed with WP7, 8GB of storage and a 1GHz processor, it’s unlike it’s going to be rubbish.

Sure, some of HTC’s other WP7 phones are faster, better, stronger, but the Trophy is much more advanced than the phone some of our readers are using now. Not that that’s your fault-you’re probably locked into a lengthy contract and as soon as you escape you’re planning on upgrading to something even better. But inside the meantime, the Trophy must be one of many cheapest WP7 phones that you can purchase.

Internally, it has 8GB of storage with 576MB of ROM and 512MB of RAM, and has a 3.8-inch WVGA screen, and measures 118.5 x 61.5 x 11.96mm, weighing 140 grams. Rather than compromising on the camera or battery in favor of keeping costs down, it’s a 5MP effort with 720p video recording (Microsoft’s lowest-allowed spec for WP7 phones), and the battery is a 1300mAh.

In Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and the UK, it will likely be on sale exclusively with Vodafone, and in Singapore it’ll debut on the M1 network.

HTC 7 Pro

Slide-Out keyboards are rarer than an iceberg inside the North Pole, and it saddens me to inform you that the HTC 7 Pro won’t go on sale until ” the first half” of next year within the US, exclusive to Sprint.

If you’re in Europe however, you’ll be ready to pick up the 3.7-inch tactile beauty later this year.

Internally, it’s roughly an identical phone ticking away as some of the other WP7 handsets HTC is launching, with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, 576MB of ROM and 16GB of internal storage. That extra memory might be hugely appreciated, I’m sure.

It’s just a little smaller in size than the various other handsets, despite its slide-out keyboard. It measures 117.5 x 59 x 15.5mm, and weighs 183.5 grams, and is crammed full with the standard specs, in addition to a 5MP camera with LED flash (capable of shooting 720p video), and a more powerful battery at 1500mAh.

If I went down the WP7 route, I feel the HTC 7 Pro can be for me. I just can’t ignore a slide-out QWERTY. Mmmm….QWERTY…

HTC 7 Surround

Where a QWERTY keyboard might normally slide out, HTC’s attached a speaker as an alternative, and with its pop-out kickstand on the back it’s the precise little number for listening and watching. HTC’s 7 Surround looks awesome, doesn’t it?

It’s US-only unfortunately, and may launch exclusively with AT&T, where their customers will get a similar Dolby Mobile and SRS WOW HD audio quality as seen (or rather, heard) inside the other WP7 phones HTC’s launching today.

At 3.8-inches with a 480 x 800 resolution, it’s a bit larger than the Mozart, and internal storage is barely 8GB, that is half what the Mozart contains. Considering this can be a media-tuned device, that’s a bit surprising. The processor is powered up at 1GHz, and there’s 512MB of ROM AND 576MB of RAM.

Weighing 165grams, it measures 119.5 x 61.5 x 12.97mm, and has the same old assortment of specs akin to Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, a g-sensor, ambient light sensor, and a 5MP camera with LED flash, capable of 720p video recording. Inside, a 1230mAh battery lurks.
