Looks like we are really getting closer to the Windows Phone 7 launch and after a longer period of silence from HTC - HTC hasn't delivered any Windows Phone 7 developer devices - two previously rumored HTC Windows Phone 7 smartphones are finally showing their faces - the HTC 7 Trophy and the HTC HD7. While both devices are yet not officially confirmed, the Global Certification Forum has recently approved the HTC 7 Trophy which popped-up later in Vodafone's order system. The HTC HD7 was a myth so far, until it first appeared in an O2 internal price list but it's yet not approved by the GCF so we know even less about it. Anyway, here are Mr. Blurry Photo and Mr. Rendering:

On the left, the HTC 7 Trophy which shows on the about screen that the device seems to come with 8 GB of inbuilt memory; on the right a rendering of a device which is said to be the HTC HD7 which seems to show a dual-flash on the back.

That's all the information we have today but if the first photos and renderings hit the Web already, it can't take too long for the rest anyway.
