The Trophy features a 3.8in WVGA touch screen with 480 x 800 resolution, and is powered by a 1GHz processor.

The device will ship with 8GB of internal storage, a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus and flash, and 720p HD video recording capabilities.

Vodafone will make the Trophy available for free on a £25 per month, 24-month price plan with 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of mobile data.

The LG Optimus 7 also features a 3.8in WVGA capacitive touch screen and a 5-megapixel camera, but comes with 16GB of onboard memory.

The handset will be available free on a £30 per month, 24-month contract including 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of mobile data.

O2 will have the exclusive on the HTC HD7, while Orange will stock the HTC 7 Mozart from launch. Tariff details have yet to be confirmed.
