14 DAY TRIAL // Windows Phone 7 devices are expected to become available for purchase on the UK market via all wireless carriers in the country, including O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Three UK, and Vodafone. Microsoft announced the move officially even before devices were unveiled, and now we can also have a look at which phones land on specific carriers in the country. Since all wireless carriers would launch such devices, and since all of them already announced officially their plans in the area, all that remains to be done is to take a look at the specific devices each operator should get, while waiting for October 21st to arrive, so that phones are put on sale.
Out of five wireless carriers, only one did not came up with a coming soon page for its Windows Phone 7 devices, namely Vodafone.
The carrier should bring the HTC 7 Trophy to the market in the UK, a device powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, with a 5MP camera on the back with 720p video recording capabilities, with 8GB of in-built memory, and SRS WOW HD virtual surround sound.
HTC 7 Trophy should become available for purchase at Vodafone UK before October is over, the wireless carrier announced, but no further details on the matter were made available.
Wireless carrier O2 should bring to its airwaves the HTC HD7, which boasts a 4.3-inch screen, the largest available for a Windows Phone 7 device.
Exclusive to O2, the smartphone packs 16GB of internal memory, along with a 5-megapixel photo snapper with HD video recording, enhanced multimedia capabilities and more. Users can register for updates on this on the carrier's website here.
Orange UK would have two Windows Phone 7 devices available for its users in the near future, the Samsung Omnia 7 and the HTC 7 Mozart, the latter being exclusively available on the carrier's airwaves.
When it comes to Mozart, here's what the carrier notes: “It brings together cutting-edge HTC design with the game-changing experience of the new Windows Phone 7 and the most essential Orange apps. Stop staring at the screen and start living.”
As for Samsung Omnia 7, it comes with a 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, complemented by a powerful 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel auto focus camera, HSDPA 7.2Mbps support, and many other features more.
The HTC 7 Mozart can be seen at Orange here, while the Samsung Omnia 7 was listed at the carrier here. Both devices should land at the wireless carrier for free on specific price plans.
We should also note that Samsung Omnia 7 is set to make an appearance on Three UK's network in the near future, and that users can already register their interest in the device on the carrier's website here.
Moreover, the handset is expected to make an appearance on T-Mobile's offering too, and the carrier already announced the available deals on it, including the fact that it would put it on sale for free on £35 monthly plans. More info is available here.
