HTC Desire HD review: Most wanted

HTC Desire HD review: Most wanted

GSMArena team, 11 November 2010

Proceed with caution, big Snapdroids ahead. We guess that sign is due wherever someone mentions Desire HD. It’s big and bad and it takes no prisoners. HTC certainly took their time with releasing a badass Android handset on our side of the pond but ...

Fashion phones overview: Man’s best friend

GSMArena team, 01 September 2010

Gadgets have become so important they're a part of how people look at you. A phone can tell a lot about who you are. Fashion phones… well… let's say they leave little to the imagination. There are handsets that make an impression...

HTC Aria review: The little tenor

HTC Aria review: The little tenor

GSMArena team, 27 August 2010

First we were hit by a Wildfire, now we’re being soothed by an Aria. The HTC Aria shares a lot of DNA with the HD mini, but makes the jump to Android and is ready to take on compact touchscreen midrangers. The HTC Aria goes against the current...

HTC Wildfire review: Desire Mini

HTC Wildfire review: Desire Mini

GSMArena team, 20 July 2010

Occasionally HTC takes a little break from high-end smartphones and dips its toes in the waters of the lower midrange. The HTC Wildfire is a down-sized, down-clocked and down-priced version of the HTC Desire. If Sony Ericsson can do it with the X10...

HTC Smart review: First grader

HTC Smart review: First grader

GSMArena team, 09 June 2010

Being a veteran in the smartphone market is huge advantage when you decide to come up with something new. After so many Windows Mobile and Android devices, HTC surprised us with a completely different product – HTC Smart. It’s a semi-smartphone...

HTC HD mini review: Smart pup

HTC HD mini review: Smart pup

GSMArena team, 23 April 2010

There was a time when Windows Mobile used to rule the smartphone seas. Then along came Symbian but that’s a whole other story. It was touchscreen that showed to all the willing challengers that Windows Mobile is just too big to turn around quickly enough and catch the new wind. HTC however seem to disagree and dispel doubts of jumping ship...


HTC Desire review: A desire come true

HTC Desire review: A desire come true

GSMArena team, 16 April 2010

If you’ve seen the Google Nexus One, you’ve seen the HTC Desire. End of story. We liked the Nexus One so be our guest, HTC Desire. But is it all that simple? HTC are so good they build phones for the competition. HTC are so mean they have no issues competing...

HTC Tattoo review: Your phone, your ink

HTC Tattoo review: Your phone, your ink

GSMArena team, 12 March 2010

The HTC Tattoo wants to redefine smart in smartphone. This affordable little thing was among the first droids to go mass-market. But run-of-the-mill specs don’t mean a boring personality. The HTC Tattoo wears its heart on the sleeve and a shirt...

Google Nexus One review: Firstborn

Google Nexus One review: Firstborn

GSMArena team, 26 February 2010

All droids are equal but some droids are more equal than others. Google it. You’ll get the Nexus One. There are around 50 smartphones and tablets running Android today. That’s right, out of all the offspring they fathered with the Open Handset Alliance...

HTC HD2 review: Portrait of a rockstar

HTC HD2 review: Portrait of a rockstar

GSMArena team, 17 November 2009

Quietly brilliant is what HTC like to call themselves and they’ve been giving enough proof lately. But allow us to disagree. The last thing to call the HD2 is quiet – the monster of a PocketPC simply screams rock'n'roll...

HTC HD2 preview: First look

GSMArena team, 10 November 2009

The dragon in the HTC camp has awoken, ladies and gentlemen, and it’s time it shows what it’s capable of. Be it a dragon, or a lion, the HTC HD2 or HTC Leo as it has been codenamed prior to release is truly a spectacular device that...


HTC Touch2 review: Beyond the basics

HTC Touch2 review: Beyond the basics

GSMArena team, 02 November 2009

Affordable isn't the most common word in the HTC vocabulary but a company whose sole line of business is smartphones is not quite expected to speak the language of the masses. That said, we really need to define affordable first...


HTC Hero review: Born to rise

HTC Hero review: Born to rise

GSMArena team, 06 August 2009

In the beginning there was G1 as the frontline trooper, the expendable GI. Elsewhere, in the HTC discourse, it was hope and vision. Well, it seems the dreamer’s Dream is coming true and someone there is really proud with what...

HTC Magic review: Practical magic

HTC Magic review: Practical magic

GSMArena team, 15 July 2009

A cool looking touchscreen carrying a new mobile OS was enough to get the attention of even the most hardened of them techies last time we checked. Fair enough, the HTC Magic isn't groundbreaking but the Cupcake-ful of changes it brings, promise a whole new experience...

HTC MAX 4G review: From Russia with love

GSMArena team, 23 June 2009

Guns at the ready fellas, we have a big game in our sights here. The HTC MAX 4G is paying us a visit in an attempt to prove that its relatively low popularity is only due to its very limited availability. With WiMAX connectivity and one of...

HTC Touch Pro2 review: Out with a pro

GSMArena team, 4 June 2009

Amid talk of Android and would-be heroes we're about to revisit HTC on their hallowed PocketPC ground. Good things seem to come in pairs for the company while out-and-out upgrades are always good news for...

HTC Touch Diamond2 review: Director’s cut

GSMArena team, 30 April 2009

HTC Touch Diamond2 is next on our roll call of MWC debuts but this time it’s less about the brand spanking novelty and more about balanced and sensible upgrades. People tend to have second thoughts about...

MWC 2009: HTC overview

GSMArena team, 18 February 2009

HTC had us quite eager to drop by their booth at the MWC in Barcelona and get some touchscreen action with WinMo and Android flavor. Two curious sequels in the face of the HTC Touch Pro2 and Touch Diamond2...


HTC Touch HD review: Windows almighty

HTC Touch HD review: Windows almighty

GSMArena team, 28 November 2008

The Touch HD is storming the WinMo stage to leave a footprint the size of half the HTC portfolio. Not so long ago we saw how sexy Windows Mobile can look, now it gets multimedia hot. There’s TouchFLO 3D to roll the heavy WinMo machine into action...


HTC Touch HD preview: First look

HTC Touch HD preview: First look

GSMArena team, 21 October 2008

The HTC Touch HD may be the biggest, meanest thing that has happened to Windows Mobile for quite some time now. It's got an unforgiving spec sheet that can easily put to shame most high-end devices out there...


HTC Touch Pro review: Heavyweight pro

HTC Touch Pro review: Heavyweight pro

GSMArena team, 04 September 2008

Windows Mobile wars are at their fiercest and a truce is nowhere in sight with new recruits marching to battle as we speak. HTC Touch Pro is adding some heavy firepower to the Touch Diamond campaign for domination of the WinMo...

HTC Touch Diamond review: Geek's best friend

GSMArena team, 15 July 2008

We called it a game for the Diamond and Omnia but the crowd is still on their feet, so there we go with the HTC Diamond's lap of honor. The latest HTC squad member, HTC Touch Diamond, might as well be starting a new era for Microsoft OS-powered mobiles....


HTC Touch Diamond vs. Samsung i900 Omnia: Head-to-Head

HTC Touch Diamond vs. Samsung i900 Omnia: Head-to-Head

GSMArena team, 02 July 2008

It’s PocketPC playoffs and HTC are giving Samsung a match at the GSM Arena. With two of the stars of the season arriving in our office all at once, we thought it’s a heck of an opportunity for some Diamond-Omnia-Diamond-Omnia-Diamond-Omnia game-set-match. We got two aces up to the challenge, so sit back and stretch out. Ah well, get that six-pack too and join us for the kick-off...

HTC Touch Cruise review: Happy cruising

GSMArena team, 04 February 2008

Pocket PCs have been keeping us busy these days. Just as we gave you LG KS20, it's time for our one-on-one with the HTC Touch Cruise. And hey, are those workhorses getting sexier or what. As one of our readers sharply observed, those devices just...
