Although Windows Phone 7 coverage at CES 2011 has been a bust (more on that later) a CDMA verion of the HTC Trophy has run its way through the FCC guantlet. There was no direct mention of the "Trophy" name; however, a nearly identical model number to the European version of the Trophy was mentioned in the docs (PC40200 vs PC40100). The device was also granted approval through the WiFi Alliance using the same certificate as HTC's Mozart and Surround.
As previously reported, Verizon is intending to release a WP7 Trophy in early 2011. While it is unclear when exactly "early" refers to, this FCC approval means it's on the horizon. Our bet? Latest: end of February.
