The battle of mobile technologies and systems are not stopping. In fact, it is every changing and just recently, it has been revealed that the newer WP7 is beginning to show some signs of progress in terms of sales. Compared to the already established WebOS from HP, WP7 is promising. The prior, on the other hand is declining in prominence. There was a 14% growth in WP7 while there was the painful 37% decrease in WebOS. The information was from the Research company known as Chitika the rise of WP7 has been on the rise since February with small but significant gains. That same period, WebOS is just a few points away from the emerging OS.

Chitika predicts that Windows Phone 7 will show more sales progress when Verizon nabs a deal with the mobile phones. However, WP7 has its share of delays. We all know that Verizon was instrumental also to the success of Android. The slow gains that the WP& has been getting is really not on the quality of the software or phones since most critics have good things to say about it. The issue is accessibility Once the Big Red gets into the scene, substantial gains will become apparent.

A new Windows Phone image was leaked recently and it was the HTC Mazaa. It seems like this smart phone will have a 3.7 inch screen and it might be heading to Sprint in a couple of months. HTC Mazaa will use DDR2 memory for better speed. HTC Mazaa might also have some GSM capabilities. Now, this may be false since on the image, the red color on the speaker grille is like the one on HTC Trophy from Verizon. It would be highly improbable that Sprint would choose the same theme. Therefore, you can classify this as a rumor until proven true.

Verizon started offering HTC Trophy to Microsoft employees of either getting $100 credit for extending your 2 year agreement of 100% reimbursed $199 for a band new HTC Trophy upon launch. Part of this offer is also free car recharger and a case. This offer is valid through April 1st of 2011 so the March 24th launch date may be correct.

HTC Trophy has 16GB memory, quadband and NoDo update.

It has been revealed in the Quarterly market statistics from ComScore that the Windows Phone 7 is not offering that much boost to the mobile market prominence of Microsoft. The company looks at smartphone shares in a 3 month period and by January 2011; a 1.7% decrease was noted. According to the statistics of more than 65 million smartphone users in the US, Android is at the top of the league with 31, 2% increase. Next is RIM but it scaled back to a 5.4% decrease. Apple is quite stagnant with a 0.1% increase and Microsoft is second to the last, Palm being the lowest in market shares.

This decline may be a reflection of the movement of consumers from one OS to another before the WP7 was released. The customersaple, from Sprint and Verizon were not part of that initial launch of the said OS and they could have chosen another OS that dampened the shares of Microsoft. Well, it is still quite early to determine what will happen to the WP7 and it would best to see what will unfold soon i the next ComScore revelation. WP7 will also have the NoDo Update and we will see the new changes when Verizon and Sprint are included in the scoring.
