HTC Incredible S Review
The HTC Incredible S might not look like much when compared to its contemporary brethren, but appearances can be deceiving. At first glance the change in approach to case design taken by HTC is obvious. Instead of the usual heavy brushed stainless steel frame the Incredible S sports a monotone soft-touch case that gives the device a plastic feel. The shape of the case itself is basically just a sized-down Desire HD. The back of the device sports a “unique contoured design” that really isn’t anything special when compared to the intriguing rear plates of the Desire HD or HD7. All in all it isn’t an ugly device, but it isn’t an overly stylish one either.
Desire to Catch Gingerbread After All
Yesterday we reported that the HTC Desire would not be getting a Gingerbread update. The information came from HTC UK’s own Facebook page and sparked a flurry of tech blog activity worldwide. The result? HTC Desire owners banded together and demanded that HTC try harder to keep the phone that was voted best phone of 2010 up-do-date.
Gingerbread for the HTC Desire? No.
After months of waiting it seems HTC’s Desire customers will have to go on living without the Android Gingerbread update. HTC has finally admitted defeat and announced that the HTC Desire will continue to run Froyo indefinitely. According to HTC UK’s Facebook page the HTC Desire simply doesn’t have the internal memory required to make Gingerbread and the Sense UI tango together without a loss of functionality.
HTC Sensation Preview
The HTC Sensation is soon set to become HTC’s new flagship phone just about everywhere but the US. The Dual-core 1.2GHz handset boasts some impressive hardware specs, as well as the Android Gingerbread OS and new Sense 3.0 user interface (UI). It’s basically the very definition of the new generation of smartphones and should emerge as a solid competitor for Samsung’s much awaited Galaxy S II.
12MP HTC Windows Phone Leaked
HTC hasn’t given up on the Windows Phone platform just yet, according to a leaked video of a new HTC Handset running the Windows Phone 7 Mango update. It seems that with Nokia soon to be making its debut in to the Windows Phone family HTC has taken the initiative and gone all-out in the hardware department, including a whopping 12MP camera on this device. While a 12MP camera isn’t anything new to the smartphone world, this will be the first time HTC has tried their hand at providing such a powerful camera.
HTC Salsa Preview
The HTC Salsa is set to be released soon and carry on the strong-chinned legacy of the HTC Hero and HTC Legend, although with somewhat less focus on the unique case design and more on social networking (the iconic chin has seen a definite decrease in size when compared previous models). Also noticeable is the lack of any trackball or touchpad at the base of the device, HTC opting to instead include a dedicated Facebook button that lights up at different times, but more on that later.
HTC Desire HD Review
The HTC Desire HD is the natural successor to HTC’s old flagship phone – the HTC Desire. The Desire HD is very similar to the Desire in many respects. However, the improvements implemented in the Desire HD are definitely noticeable such as the larger screen, brighter display and Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system.
Asher likes the Windows Phone 7
Asher Moses has reviewed the Windows Phone 7 and he likes it. We'll be posting more on the Windows Phone 7 rollout, but for now you can enjoy his review. Text is incredibly sharp and crisp on Windows Phone 7 and I'm particularly impressed with how emails and documents are rendered on the platform. The menu layout is also pleasing to the eye with big bold headings that can be scrolled through by swiping horizontally.
