Samsung Fascinate has Android 2.3 operating system, while HTC Trophy works with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system.
The HTC Trophy features a bit sharper screen than Samsung Fascinate, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have exactly the same 800 x 480 resolution, the HTC Trophy also counts with a just a little more pixels per inch in the screen. The HTC Trophy's processor is very similar to the processor in Samsung Fascinate, because although the HTC Trophy has a worse GPU running at 128 MHz, and they both have 1 CPU cores, it also counts with a larger amount of RAM memory.
The Samsung Fascinate captures just a bit better photos and videos than HTC Trophy, and although they both have the same video resolution and a camera in the back with a 5 mega pixels, the Samsung Fascinate also has faster 30 frames per second video frame rates. The HTC Trophy features a way bigger memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Samsung Fascinate, because although it has no SD extension slot, it also counts with 14 GB more internal memory.
Samsung Fascinate has just a bit longer battery life than HTC Trophy, because it has 1500mAh of battery capacity against 1300mAh.
Although Samsung Fascinate is a better device, it is a little more expensive than the HTC Trophy, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC Trophy. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can get HTC Trophy, letting go some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
