It looks like we have another Windows Phone handset that we are going to be able to start speculating over. Well, that or dreaming over if you are the type that likes high megapixel cameras and the ability to capture images in RAW from your mobile phone. So far we have seen these two images, which sadly come with few other details.

That being said, the handset looks quite a bit like the HTC Trophy. You know, the one that Verizon FINALLY launched just recently. Of course, while this handset may look quite a bit like the Trophy, it certainly has a few things that are not like the Trophy.

Those two items include the ability to shoot in RAW mode, which you can see from the “Raw Capture” menu item, which is listed as off (and can presumably be set to on). In addition, the handset can shoot images at up to 4000 x 3000 resolution — 12 megapixels. In other words, a Windows Phone device from HTC that has a Nokia like camera.

Funny, I think many were waiting until Nokia released a Windows Phone 7 handset before thinking of high quality cameras getting thrown into the mix. Of course, that it not to say that Nokia will not have a device on the market before this yet to be announced HTC handset comes available.

Otherwise, there is some speculation that this could be the HTC Mazaa and it was noted that it is actually running Windows Phone 7 with the Mango update already installed. Bottom line, we have a few guesses here, this could be a Trophy exterior with some new internals for testing or maybe HTC is going to roll-out an updated Trophy with a new name. Either way, we look forward to seeing a 12MP camera on WP7.
