Vodafone to offer HTC 7 Trophy and LG Optimus 7
Exclusive Windows Phone 7 handsets
Vodafone has announced that it has got exclusive deals to sell two of the latest Windows Phone 7 handsets, with the HTC 7 Trophy and LG Optimus 7 both toting the latest platform from Microsoft.
The arrival of Windows Phone 7 has brought slew of announcements, and Vodafone is pushing its two exclusive handsets.
First up is the HTC 7 Trophy, which will be offered for no additional fee on a £25, 24-month price plan.
The phone offers a 3.8-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera and 16GB of onboard storage.
LG Optimus 7
Secondly the LG Optimus 7 will also bring a 3.8-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 5MP camera and 16GB of onboard memory.
As you may have noticed – that's exactly the same specs, so it's really going to come down to price – and the LG Optimus is available on the slightly higher £30 24-month tariff, although it gets you more minutes (600, to be precise).
