Rated 70% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)It is generally easy and pleasant to use, and the low price point, coupled with the beautiful hardware and solid LTE service could be persuasive.
Rated 73% by by c|net (Jan, 2011)At 4.67 inches tall by 2.42 inches wide by 0.47 inch thick, and 4.94 ounces, the Trophy is sleek and simple, which is attractive in its own right.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Nokia Lumia 900 compared to the HTC Trophy
GHz1.4
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango 4G
Rated 100% by by Benjamin-T (Apr, 2012)The speed of this phone is insane, particularly with the 4G LTE feature which truly is faster.
1 GHz
Windows Phone 7 3.5G
Rated 100% by by Kitsune5tailsSize feels about right, and it is heavy enough to feel solid, but not to heavy.
screen size
4.3"
3.8"
Lumia 900 by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)A big, quality screen, fluid and stylish OS and premium build are all sprinkled with Nokia's magic in a package that's made to impress.
Trophy by Jeremy (Jan, 2012)The form factor is great too....small enough to slip in a pocket, but the screen is big enough to be usable.
screen resolution
Lumia 900 by Michael-Huddleston (Jul, 2012)The stats for the resolution are not as dazzling the in person, the screen is clear and beautiful.
Trophy by AndrewNext I would say the screen quality is great, the resolution is sharp and you can easily see the display even in brighter lightning conditions.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.56 GB | 0.6 GB |
processor
Lumia 900 by Joshwa-Thomas-Jacob--Josh (Apr, 2012)It is a single core but seems like faster that iphone dual core processor.
Trophy by c|net (May, 2011)Certainly, it's not going to vie for the attention of those seeking 4G and dual-core processors, and we wish certain aspects of the phone were better.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
Lumia 900 by Bacchus (Apr, 2012)The 8 megapixel camera on the Lumia 900 takes great photos but some of the pics did come out a little oversaturated.
Performance Real world tests of Nokia Lumia 900 vs HTC Trophy
cpu speed
Lumia 900 by J.-HarstonFirst off, I was attracted to the Lumia 900 for its gorgeous screen, the LTE speed, the speed of the phone processor and the fact that I could get it for about $18 (after the promotional $100 credit from Nokia).
Trophy by JF (Jan, 2012)All of my photos are automatically placed on the internet, and I've never used a better word processor on a mobile device.
talk time
420 min
294 min
Lumia 900 by John-Lonappanalthough I use the phone around less than 30 minutes talk time and very minimal data usage, also disabled all the background processes I have to charge twice a day!
Trophy by c|net (May, 2011)The smartphone met its rated talk time in our battery drain tests, but compared to other smartphones, it's on the short side.
