Smartphones have pretty much replaced the mobile phone that only makes calls and does texting. This is because smartphone do so much more like video streaming and having access to the Internet. There are many smartphone to choose from and each mobile phone provider has at least one. For example, Sprint has the HTC EVO 4G.

The HTC EVO 4G has a 4.3 inch touch screen with two cameras. One of the cameras is located on the back side of the phone while the other is on the front. The camera on the back of the phone is a 8 megapixel while the front camera is a 1.3 megapixel. The camera on the front is there for use as a webcam. The HTC EVO 4G has 1GB ROM, 512MB RAM, Wifi and Bluetooth 2.1. This mobile phone comes with a 8GB microSD card with the option to expand to a 32GB microSD. HTC has realized that people care about the environment and have made their packaging for the EVO 4G reflect that. It comes in what can only be described as a package that a microwaveable meal would come in. No more big packaging for something that is small. The HTC EVO 4G will be available through Sprint on June 4, 2010 and will be $199.99 after $100 mail-in rebate.

Cell phones have become a part of just about everyone’s life. For many people, cell phones have replaced home lines. Since cell phones have become such a big part of people’s lives, it is no surprise that cell phone providers are coming out with new and exciting new models all the time. One of these new cell phone models is the HTC Desire. This cell phone has been hailed as a work of art and is outselling many of the same type of cell phone models available.

The HTC Desire features an AMOLED capacitive touch screen with a new pinch to zoom feature that allows the user to move between home screens easier than previous HTC models. The screen is 3.7 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800 WVGA and weighs a light 4.76 ounces with the battery. It runs the Android 2.1 with HTC Sense platform with a 1 GHz processor. Talk time on the Desire is around 400 minutes with a standby time of up to 340 hours. With a 5 megapixel camera with face detection, you will be able to take pictures of anything. It features 3G internet with Bluetooth capabilities. Some of the other features of the HTC Desire are social networking, multimedia, and HTC widgets. There are also a few special features such as a feature that lowers the ringtone volume when the phone is picked up and backing up certain data and setting for your microSD card automatically. The HTC Desire will allow you to stay in touch and have fun while doing it.

The new T-Mobile G1 or the Google Phone, has been released in the US last week and the Chinese already got their hands on it and are illegally selling it for RMB 3,999 (about $550). In the US, G1 is bound on a two-year contract with T-Mobile and sells for $180 so I suppose it’s too bad for those that want to pay the extra fee (add $73 to unlock it if needed) because I’m sure Google will soon hit the Asian markets and the price won’t be that peppered. Next to get the Android-based mobile phone, are the Brits in early November, followed by Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands in the first quarter of 2009. – via Pacificepoch

Just a quick question. Would you buy the HTC Touch Diamond if it would be on Sprint, if it were $299. Of course that’s the price after signing a contract for 2 years and getting all sorts of rebates, but I still think that’s a good deal.

The main specs include the TouchFLO 3D user interface, a full HTML (Opera) browser, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 4GB internal memory, stereo Bluetooth technology and EV-DO Rev. A. It’s running Windows Mobile 6.1 and is going to offer support for Outlook Email, Sprint Mobile E-mail (IMAP and POP3), Picture Mail, Sprint Navigation and Live Search, Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store.

I don’t think that’s a bargain but I think Sprint is really going the right way with this one. I’d definitely get mine with them.

HTC is going to launch its second generation Advantage X7510 – a pocket sized laptop with great power and usability. It features a high end 16 GB internal flash memory, finger print reader and face detection, anti-spill keyboard and it gives great power working with multimedia and office documents and web browsing.

HTC Advantage X7510 features a 5-inch touch screen placed intelligently under the keyboard, that you can access by sliding the keyboard. It is controlled by a finger friendly application and should be perfect for people who are on-the-go but need to stay in the loop, all without compromising power and functionality.

Although preorders went from $1300 back in March, it’s pretty uncommon for such prices to actually stick. If you’re an anxious customers who can’t wait for it to be available, don’t get lured in with such “offers”.

First batch of 10,000 units of HTC Touch Diamond have been shipped today to Hong Kong CSL. I’ll have to be honest and tell you that I’m already drooling but I can’t do anything about it. Just like all other I’ll have to wait till June, when HTC will begin shipping to European and Asia-Pacific operators. These are moments when I am glad I don’t live in the States because the report from Digitimes doesn’t mention anything about the new HTC Touch Diamond being shipped to US.

High Tech Computer (HTC) has just named its Android-based mobile. Called “Dream”, the phone would be the first one that runs Google’s software. Nevertheless, a rumor about a Samsung devices was stated in the news. Samsung also develops an Android-based mobile because they are part of Open Handset Alliance too.

A 5-inch long and 3-inch wide Dream will sport a large touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard that will slide underneath the screen. HTC tries to deliver a phone perfect for emailing and web surfing. The Internet navigational keys are placed just below the screen. Also I can tell you that we should expect the Dream by the end of the year. There is no information about multimedia capabilities, storage or network compatibility.

The Open Handset Alliance’s project – the Android – will become the alternative to Windows Mobile and Linux Mobile. Thus many major mobile manufacturers will migrate for the new powerful mobile software.
