HTC Evo 3D is a 3D mobile phone, it doesn’t display everything in 3D and you don’t need glasses, such as on TVs, but it is something innovative, something bold, something that will surely catch on the public. It provides a fast dual-core processor, has a gorgeous design and 3D cool interface and a plentiful range of multimedia features. The display has 4.3” qHD, with a sheet of Gorilla Glass for tough experience and to be able to show 3D images, the company used parallax barriers to be able to display 3D images and 3D videos. When showing everything in 2D looks amazing and stunning, in 3D, don’t expect to see everything coming out of the screen, but the experience is worthwhile. Moreover, HTC Sensation 4G has a beautiful design and a powerful performance, qHD display, a thin and curved design, but there were some complaints about the antenna. It runs on the latest version of Android, Gingerbread, provides 4G speeds, the user interface is sleek and the display is gorgeous, you will surely be impressed with the image quality. Even after some time using it, you will feel the same, but some antenna issues might occur and it is slightly worrying. The camera on the back has 8 megapixels and the one in the front is designed for providing video calling. As for multimedia, HTC Sensation 4G comes with HTC new movie and TV show streaming service.

HTC Thunderbolt comes with 4G speeds, is extremely fast, but there is a lot of bloatware to get rid of. There are few negative aspects when it comes to this device; this is why you probably see it often in “top smartphones” lists. The WVGA screen has 4.3” and provides enough space for you to navigate everywhere you need and to browse through full-size websites. But under direct sunlight you might face some slight problems. You can find all these devices at service providers and you can get them at cheaper prices if you sign up the two-year contracts. Because they are up to date, the unlocked price is surely high and not for every budget. But if you are worried about the pricing, then perhaps you will like HTC Wildfire S, with a bargain price, using HTC Sense interface and meant to satisfy those looking for a more compact phone and slimmer. The size is smaller without doubts, especially if you are used to smartphones like those mentioned earlier. But if you just jumped into the market, this is a good phone to start with.

It would take a lot to enumerate the other HTC mobiles, but I am sure that so far you got the point and you understood what the company does best.

But the best feature of the phone is considered to be the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The keypad might not be that large, but the keys are tactile and simple to press. Also, there are some great touches, like lights showing when the caps is on and the function keys are activated. It runs on Windows Mobile and it brings something new, sliding panels home screen, giving you access to most of the features using some panels you click up and down. The phone is responsive to all your commands and tasks, thanks to the 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. More internal benefits include the 256MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM, but you can surely expand the memory inside with some microSD cards. Don’t start comparing the phone with any of the recent HTC smartphones, because this one has a candy-bar shape, so the screen is smaller. It has 2.4” and it shows everything in high quality, the resolution is 320×240. But when it comes to connectivity, you get everything you need: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSDPA. The voice quality is overall good and the battery life is rated to last around two days and a half in heavy-duty use. This will surely be appreciated it by those using their mobile phones a lot.

But there aren’t only good parts of this device, because we have encountered some negative aspects as well. The presence of the slide-out keyboard is useful and makes the phone look wider when you pull it out, but it makes the phone bulkier than usual and you will surely notice the girth when you will hold the device in your hands. Moreover, when you slide the keyboard out, the orientation of the screen switches from portrait to landscape, but you should give it some time, as there is a short pause before the screen switches to its original position. When it is time to type some messages or anything, you have to hold the HTC Rose, because due to the prism design on the back, it will not stand on a surface flat. The camera has 3.2 megapixels, it does not provide flash or auto-focus and as the camera is only on the back, you can’t benefit of video calling. Even at this resolution, there are some cameras out there that are a lot better, but it seems that the aspect is not very important for this HTC model.

To conclude, this is a successful device and if you need a messaging device that is not as wide as a BlackBerry, then you can surely give it a try. You saw both the positive and negative aspects, so you can tell for yourself the quality of the mobile phone.

The display has 3.2” HVGA and a pixel resolution of 480×320, great touch screen, but with some issues for people with large hands.

Mobile phones aren’t what they used to be, as not they have these evolved characteristics and can manage most of the tasks with ease. Talking and texting are left far behind, because now you can enjoy video calling and instant chatting plus e-mailing. But there is always something missing about these phones and they forget their main purpose. In this case call quality is not as solid and there is no expansion slot. If these don’t bother you much, then nothing will stop you from getting this superb cell phone.

From the pictures in this article you will not be able to imagine how gorgeous the phone is. You have to see it in person to understand. It features a sleek mirrored face and prism effect on the back. It weighs 3.8 ounces and it comes in a compact shape, so there should be no problems slipping the phone in your pocket.

In the Home screen you will see a large clock, call history and the calendar. But on the bottom of the display there is a toolbar, which you can move in order to launch applications. The animated effects are cool, 3D and you will like just playing with the toolbar more than anything else. But as it is something out of the ordinary, you will need some time to get used to the swinging part and seeing exactly in which way you have to swipe in order to launch apps. For entering text, you can use the compact QWERTY keyboard or the full keyboard, depending on the position you want to type in. Below the display there are some tactile controls: Home key, back button, Talk/End keys and the directional keypad with the center select button. Most of the buttons are flash to the surface and easy to press. In some applications you can use the touch sensitive navigation keypad as counterclockwise or clockwise to zoom in/out of pages. Moreover, on the left side of the phone there is the volume rocker; on the bottom is the USB port, the stylus. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you will have to settle with the earphones you get in the box. You can however get a headset adapter and change the situation.

To sum up, the 3.2 megapixels camera is not as impressive as colors seem washed out, but it comes with a lot of options and editing effects, so you can change the quality of the pictures and play with the settings.

HTC downloads do not refer only to applications, because themes, ringtones, games, videos, wallpapers, screensavers can also be found online, some for free and some require payment for you to be able to get them. Most users out there choose themes in order to personalize their display and they can choose among various categories, such as abstract themes, with animals, landscape pictures, holidays, animated and so on. Ringtones are popular as well because using them makes it easier to distinguish who is calling you. This is possible as you can assign different ringtones to your contacts. If your HTC phone supports MP3 files, it is even better, because most of the ringtones out there are MP3 or polyphonic. Wallpapers and screensavers are very easy to find, you just type the model of your HTC in Google and you can download the images directly.

And now, let’s get to some interesting HTC downloads, meaning applications. Astro File Manager is a free application and even the name recalls it, it is a file management app for your Android HTC phone. Wave Secure is a must-have application if you want to keep track of your phone even if you happen to lose it. You have probably used Meebo on your computer, but you can use it on your phone as well.

Google Sky Map is a stunning application which gives representations of the stars and planets on your phone’s display. Just point the phone at the stars and learn about constellations and see if there are any UFO’s out there.

But let’s see what HTC Magic brings and if things are as magical as they seem. To start with, the phone features a sleek and attractive design, great display, tactile controls, Wi-Fi, Google applications, great call quality and of course, lots of customization options. On the bad side we have the landscape keyboard which is available only in some applications, the camera options, which are not plentiful and the HTML browser interface, not very attractive if we can say so.

HTC Magic is also known as Google Ion and it runs on Android, which is the best operating system at this moment. No matter how the phone is named, it weighs 4.09 ounces, feels sturdy when you hold it, comfortable as well and it fits in your pocket with ease. The touch screen has 3.2”, a pixel resolution of 480×320 HVGA, showing sharp colors and graphics, beautiful photos and customizable brightness settings along with adjustable backlighting time. Of course, you can always choose to personalize the phone with a set of wallpapers, skins and more. The user interface is easy to use, clean and intuitive. The home screen has three panels side by side, so you have to scroll among them and swipe your fingers in order to get things done. You can have on the Home screen many icons with shortcuts for your favorite applications and so. The phone comes with some default icons, but you can keep them or remove them, depending on how useful you think they are. You will have fun moving your finger on the screen as everything runs smooth, but keep in mind that it isn’t a multi-touch interface, so you can’t pinch or zoom images or text.

What is more, the screen has haptic feedback, but it does not work in all occasions. For instance, if you just tap the screen quickly, you will not feel any vibrations, but if you hold your finger for a bit longer, then the vibration is surely present. On top of the Home screen is a dedicated Google Search bar. If you open it, then a full keyboard appears, available only in vertical mode. Below the display are the physical controls, more than usual actually: Talk/End buttons, Home button, Menu control, back button and the Google search shortcut key. The navigation trackball is large and has a lot of space, so you will be able to use it with ease. The virtual keyboard is different according on how you use it. As the Google search keyboard is available only in vertical mode, when typing you might handle with some misdials. But when it is time for messages, e-mails and browser applications, you will get the landscape keyboard and thus more room and more comfort for typing. To conclude, an important note is that you can store applications only in the internal memory, 288MG RAM and 512MB ROM.

To start with, let’s see some of the HTC free games available for simpler phones. Miner Speed is a jewel switching game in which you benefit from great and colorful graphics and it is also sensitive to your touch. The game is similar to Bejeweled, in case you are familiar to that game. For the best tower defense experience, Robo defense is available for free and it brings maps, towers ready for upgrade and nice graphics. If you are into these sorts of games, then you should grab it while it is still free. Labyrinth Lite is among the best games on the market. It is actually a maze game in which you have to tilt your phone so the balls get into the holes.

This is the most downloaded game for HTC phones as well, at least for those with touch screen and with built-in accelerometer. Fan of Poker? Then Red Poker Club is definitely a must-have game and it brings more than simple playing. You can send drinks and gifts to players and you get to play with users worldwide. So, these were the games for HTC phones. Now we shall see some of the best games for Android, as the latest HTC smartphones run on Android. Abduction is available and brings 6 levels. In this game you have a cow and it bounces around and gets bonuses and stuff, until it gets on-board in a space ship. The game is very fun to play, but after a while it gets difficult, so choose your level smart.

Aren’t we all familiar with Battleship? Indeed we are and you will be very happy to hear that you can play it for free on your HTC mobile phone. The rules of the games are probably known, but let’s revise them quickly. You have to position your ships and sink the opponents’, but be careful as it involves strategy and mind control. You have to know where to aim and be careful, so you don’t get sunk. And how can we go pass Angry Birds and not mention it? This is without any doubts, the best game for Android mobile phones and the most popular as well. You can also find some other versions, such as Angry Birds Rio, in which you have the famous characters from the movie. The game is a thrill to play, addictive by far and it will keep you on your feet until you figure out how to knock out the pigs. Bebbled is a gem game, with some great colors and graphics and you just have to form groups of the same color in order to clear the board.

You can find these online, so you can enter directly from your mobile phone and download packs with skins or individual ones, depending on the memory you have inside or exactly what you can find. Customizing your Home screen with skins is a very fun and easy way to make your phone unique and attractive. You can have skins from your favorite movies, such as Tron Legacy and huge collections with other movies and games. Installing those takes just a few minutes, you can use the file manager in your phone to get them installed.

But you have to make sure you read the specifications of some skins, because they might require a certain operating system, such as Windows Mobile or Android, a certain mobile phone model, Desire HD, Thunderbolt and so on. On some mobile phones, you get the widget directly on the screen. For instance, in HTC Desire HD, you have an icon with skins, tap on it and then slide your finger on the screen to select a certain skin you like. After you have chosen, tap Apply and there you have it. If you want to download from the internet others, just select “Get more” and you will be facing a lot of other models of skins. Some of them come for free and some of them are required with payment, but it is up to you. If you really like a certain one, then you can pay for it, as usually it doesn’t require much. Some users prefer themes as well to customize their Home screen. Themes are similar to skins, but they change the overall aspect of icons as well, of the menu and how everything looks. You can find some very nice themes online, most of them for free, some animated, which will really bring your phone to life.

As we are talking about some of the best touch screen phones on the market, as HTC has some of the best, it is worth customizing them by any means. This will make your phone special and will surely be noticed by your friends. Think of HTC Home customizer as sort of clothes for your phone. The way you “dress” it up leads to the preferences you have, what you think is useful, if you want to have a big clock, calendar maybe, and weather forecasts in the middle of the screen and so on. Don’t forget you can always put the widgets you want on the Home screen, such as shortcuts for your favorite applications. In this way you will be able to swipe your fingers among them and launch them instantly. There is nothing to it and there is nothing like having everything at your fingers. These said, you can now customize the Home screen with whatever you like, both skins and widgets and make your phone be on your likings and how you want it to be.

The phone comes with some very good features, such as a nice 3D interface, gorgeous touch screen, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, a 3.2 megapixels camera and it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1. On the bad side is the lack of the expansion slot and the call quality. If you acre more about the looks and the features, and the performance level is not that important to you, then this phone is a good choice after all. When the phone was released, the price for it was high indeed, but now, with the discounts and so, you can get the unlocked version for around $199.

HTC Touch Diamond looks beautiful and from the pictures you can tell that. But there is more to it and only after you have the phone in front of you, you will really prove yourself that it is true. The smartphone has a mirrored face and the prism effect on the back. It weighs only 3.8 ounces, it has a compact design, so slipping it in your pocket will be no problem what so ever. The touch screen has 2.8”, a pixel resolution of 680×480, VGA quality and text and images look sharp and vibrant. Thanks to the orientation sensor, the phone will switch automatically from portrait to landscape when you switch the phone. Everything is fine and dandy so far, but perhaps the TouchFLO 3D interface is definitely worth mentioning. On the Home screen is a big clock, calendar and call history and on the bottom you will see a toolbar with applications, such as Web, music, e-mail, settings menu and the customizable weather page. You can move the toolbar from left to right. And in certain applications, like e-mail, music and camera you can go through them by swapping your finger with a cool 3D animated effect. This is very nice effect and it will definitely attract users, no matter what. But it will take some time until you get used to the actions, because in some occasions you won’ be able to tell which finger swipe action works with some applications.

As for adding text, you can use the on-screen keyboard and depending on your preferences you can also use the full QWERTY keyboard or the compact one. In any situations, you will have no problems as you can enter text with ease and with less misspells. One annoying thing, which is a fact in some touch screen phones, is that the keyboard tends to occupy halt of the screen, so you are left with little space to see exactly your messages or if you have some corrections to do. Moreover, below the display are some tactile controls: Home screen key, Talk/End keys, back button and the directional keypad with the center select button. All the buttons are flush to the surface, but they are easy to press. The navigation keypad is also touch sensitive, so in certain applications you can use your thumb to make circles and zoom in out pages.
