HTC Smart or Dunce?
The HTC Smart phone is one the handset manufactures newest offerings. It will be different from most of the mobile phones manufactured by HTC. For one, this phone won’t be a typical smartphone. Instead, it will run on the Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform. The features and specs also won’t be as impressive as many of the other HTC phones. There has been some talk that the Smart handset is being designed for a newer user who will hopefully upgrade to one of the company’s more expensive phones after they become acquainted with the Smart, which is a akin to a introductory phone.
The Smart has 256MB of RAM and ROM memory. Individuals can add more via the phone’s microSD card slot. It has a pretty small display at 2.8 inches which comes with a resistance screen. The phone has a 3.0 megapixel camera, which isn’t bad. There are handsets on the market with less impressive megapixels. The processor on the phone is about average at 300 MHz.
The HTC Smart is scheduled to be released in Europe and in Asia sometime during the Spring of this year (2010) which is just a few short months away. No price has been reported for the phone or any hint of what HTC Smart contracts might be on offer. However, that information should be forthcoming and will probably be announced or leaked just prior to the phone’s release.
Overall, the HTC Smart is a pretty decent phone. It is not as good as some of the other HTC mobiles like the HD2, but it also won’t be as expensive. Individuals will be able to purchase the Smart during the first or second quarter of 2010. The company has announced that it will launch in Europe and Asia first. There has been no word regarding whether or not it will be released elsewhere and when that might occur. Until such information is given, the only thing known for sure is that the phone will be available on those continents.
