HTC 7 Trophy Unboxing

The tiny box of the HTC 7 Trophy has managed to accommodate everything you need to use your phone. There’s a USB charger, a standard microUSB data cable and the usual paperwork. The supplied one-piece headset is not your only option – the Trophy has a 3.5mm audio jack. The only thing missing – that we’ve got more or less accustomed to – is a memory card. It’s irrelevant here, as the HTC 7 Trophy does not have a memory card slot.
