HTC Incredible

By: admin

The world´s first smartphone with the name of “Incredible” has just surfaced in the world of smartphones. HTC is the maker of the Incredible and for now it is somewhat amazing. Take a look by reading this quick article on the HTC Incredible.

There is a real resemblance between this phone and the acclaimed HTC Evo ( “Supersonic” ) smartphone. Like the Evo, the Incredible is not formally announced yet, but is expected to be running on the Verizon network. The Incredible is smaller than the Evo, but not by much.

The screen on the Incredible is 3.5 to 3.7 inches when measured diagonally. This is about the same as an iPhone or N900. It is a capacitive touch screen and is sensitive to finger movements without the need for a stylus. The official resolution is not known yet. There are speculations on whether or not it will be AMOLED. First assumptiions is that it will be regular TFT. It can change automatically from landscape to portrait mode by moving the smartphone to its side. Just under the screen is an optical trackpad.

The inside of the HTC Incredible has some impressive stats to show. The Snapdragon processor, which usually runs at 1000 megahertz on the Evo, is toned down to run 768 megahertz. If you wonder why, it is to save on battery life. More speed equals more power and the Incredible is going to run fast, even if its “turbo button” is not turned on. ( No, it does not really have a turbo button. ) The Incredible comes with plenty of RAM, 256 megabytes to be exact. Some are saying it will come out with more than that, around 512 megabytes.

The Incredible will have the latest version of the Android operating system; 2.1. This means you get all the nice screen acrobatics like multitouch and perhaps even the “leap” function. Leap is the ability to pinch the screen and have all the home screen widgets “leap” onto the page. This is a nice time saver. Android apps are as popular as a Baskin Robbins store in hell at the moment. They are being churned out at blazing speeds. At the moment there are over 30,000 of them for your life. Most people pick out at least five apps to put on their phone. The Incredible will be able to wipe your personal data off the smartphone with the sending of one small text message. This is to keep it ( your data ) out of the hands of the bad guys and girls who may find your phone if you lose it.

HTC has their own way of dressing up the inside of their products. The HD Mini is created with a yellow interior. This Incredible is created with a bright red interior. The battery is also bright red to match. What purpose does this serve ? Perhaps HTC will reveal it to us, but for now, it is suspected that it is painted for the geeks in the world. It is to show it off to their ( maybe your ? ) other geeky friends. In other words; “Hey Eric, the inside of my phone is cooler than yours !”. The external appearance of the HTC Incredible is not all that, well, “incredible”. No glossy metallic greens or purples. It comes in a basic black that, for now, has the soft-touch feel to it.

The Incredible has a power-packed camera that takes “incredibly” detailed pictures. It is an eight megapixel data collecting machine. It can also shoot video. It may come with a FM radio. Stay tuned for more information on that feature. There is a music player and a 3.5 millimeter audio jack that is standard on all well-made smartphones.

All the important connections and services are available on the Incredible. It connects to voice networks using quad band GSM and to data networks with everything but infrared. The Wi-Fi connects at the maxium “G” mode. You have the now-common MicroSD slot to boost the memory capacity to 32 gigabytes. Email, internet messaging, a high quality web browser, and internet messaging are all available on the Incredible.

There are no prices announced for this smartphone, since it is coming out in the next few weeks. Look for it to come out around the same time that the Evo comes out.

HTC Evo

By: admin

The world of “4G” is breaking in on the mobile community. One of the first players on the field is a phone known as the HTC “Evo”. HTC has their hand on so many new advances that it is hard to go through a month or a week without a new development. Take a closer look at their newest creation right here in this quick article.

This particular smartphone was known by the name “Supersonic” in the not-so-distant past. It is not even out yet, and they changed the name to “Evo”. Not to worry, this is beginning to be a normal trend for celular phone makers these days. This phone is literally gorgeous. It has a huge screen and packs as much punch, technologically speaking, as just about anything out there, even the Nokia N900.

Speaking of the screen, it is 4.3 inches “large”. For comparison, the google phone ( Nexus One ) has a screen of 3.7 inches in size. An iPhone 3G or 3Gs has a screen of 3.5 inches. The screen has a new feature called “Leap” that allows you to pinch the screen and launch all the home screen panels. That is not the same as the multitouch where you pinch the screen and zoom into a page. It has that also. It is worth it to mention that the touch buttons under the screen work better than that of the Nexus One. There is no manual keyboard with this smartphone, all the typing is done on the screen. This is easy, since the screen is so big.

The exterior of the HTC “Evo” is the svelt looks of modern technology. It is thin and the screen covers practically the whole front of the smartphone. The Evo comes with a kickstand to prop it up while you watch video. You may just sell your laptop. Production models of this phone will have it painted in silver. There is no trackball like other models that holds dust and lint. The buttons are fully touch and do not protrude from the Evo. The Evo feels hefty. It is hardly fat, at half an inch.

The big news, maybe the biggest news, is the new HTC Sense user interface on the Evo. It has improvments over the last version. You can arrange your contacts into groups. You can therefore group contacts by work, play, sports, or whatever you like. The Android “app” ( application ) market is exploding for devices like this that use the Android operating system. There are more than 30,000 apps available and new ones are being developed every day. The Evo has a WebKit browser that is fast and renders web pages accurately on sites that have some semblance of web standards. Google goggles, google earth, voice to text and other useful applications are available on the Evo. If you lose your Evo or have it stolen, you can wipe all the personal information from the phone with one pre-determined sms message.

The other big news is that the HTC Evo can use 4G connections. This is otherwise known as “Wi-Max”. It is an unbelievable ten times faster than 3G connections. If you can not get a Wi-Max signal yet, the Evo can handle EVDO data. Other hard-wired data connections include an HDMI connection for streaming video to a television. The MicroUSB connnector will go to your laptop or PC. Both of these are on the bottom of the Evo.

If you like taking photos you are in for a treat with the HTC Evo. The Evo has two ! It has an amazing eight megapixel camera on the back, and another on the front that takes 1.3 megapixel pictures. An application is being developed for video chat, since it has the forward facing camera. The back camera has flash. You can take videos and actually save them. The Evo has one gigabyte of memory, enough for lots of files. If you need more space the Evo has the customary MicroSD card slot. For listening to music, or for privacy, the Evo has a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. For audio entertainment, a FM radio is included.

The size of the HTC Evo is bit taller than many smartphones. It is 4.8 inches tall. It weighs six ounces. It will be offered by Sprint and sold in various retailers across the United States.

HTC Magic

By: admin

If you were waiting for the right phone for your own use, the HTC Magic may have been the one. It is thin, light, powerful and has a nice screen to boot. Take a look at this HTC smartphone for the scoop.

Streamlined is a good word to describe the exterior of the HTC Magic. It is lacking in a manual keyboard, but makes up for it in the convenient size. The screen is a 3.2 inch display with a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels. It is just four and half inches tall and just barely over two inches wide. It is .58 inches thick, which is practically half an inch.

The interior workings of the HTC Magic are taken care of by the popular android operating system. This is a rapidly developing piece of software that offers lots of social networking skills. Do you want to connect to your friends or family on Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk and YouTube ? Not only can you do it on this phone, you can do it with ease. The HTC Magic with android allows you to “wipe” your smartphone from a distance if you lose it or it is stolen. You have lots of other apps to track and locate your contacts, Believe it or not you can also snap a photo of a barcode and have the internet tell you information and prices on the item associated with the barcode. How about the Urbanspoon application ( program ) ? If you can not decide on where to eat, Urbanspoon can help you decide with prices and locations and more. Thanks to the multi-touch ability of android you can use google maps with much more ease.

The processor comes in at a strong 528 megahertz on the HTC Magic. This will allow you to open more programs and not have a crash. Internal memory is on the 288 megabyte level. Not bad for a smartphone, but it could be better. Others are offering more in the same price categories. To make amends for the average memory level, there is a MicroSD card slot that will allow you to load files that are on the gigabyte level. This smartphone is manufactured in black or white plastic. You have your choice of those two colors. Quite a shame for a phone with so much ability. You do get WLAN ( Wi-Fi ) ability to take advantage of faster load times for web pages and hopefully skype will be available in the future to allow you to save money on calls using Wi-Fi.

One difference that you will need to remember when comparing android phones like this HTC Magic to the iPhone models is that applications are almos always free. You download neat software and do not pay anything. This phone takes a maximum of ten minutes to setup with your personal information and settings you like. After that is all usage and no adjusting. The HTC magic is a good all-around smartphone that connects you to the rest of the world with convenience that you can fit in your pocket without a problem.
