HTC GSM Touch Screen Cell Phones: A Review of the HTC Aria

GSM Android Phones: Review of the HTC Aria

The HTC Aria debuted on AT&T on June 20, 2010. It is the aboriginal Android buzz I accept anytime endemic – not due to a abridgement of interest, but added so because I am ashore with AT&T for account and every added GSM Android buzz that is accessible in the U.S. is basically garbage.

I accept been application the Aria for a few canticle now, and I accept to say I absolutely like it a lot. Well, to clarify, I’d accept to alter that to say that I absolutely like Android a lot and that the Aria is a abundant little phone. It’s quick and acknowledging (more so than the HTC Hero, from what I can tell) and the awning looks great, although it is somewhat baby compared to added phones on the market. For example, the HTC Aria, like the Hero, has a 3.2 inch screen, which is a bit abate than the iPhone’s awning which is 3.5 inches. Back you authority the Aria up abutting to Sprint’s HTC Eva, it looks like a complete dwarf. Its like the David and Goliath of corpuscle phones.

Frankly, I like the abate anatomy agency on the Aria and my alone complaint about its admeasurements is that the keyboard is hardly awkward and small, and in account approach it is ambiguous abstract although I assume to be accepting a little added acclimated to it as time goes on. There is no concrete keyboard, so you accept to collaborate with aggregate through the blow awning except for four capacitive buttons on the bottom, aggregate rockers on the side, and the lock button on the top. The four buttons on the basal are home, menu, back, and search, aloof like on the HTC Evo, Incredible, and added agnate phones by HTC. There is additionally an optical clue brawl which I use about never, although it is nice. The alone time I’ve begin it to be all-important is back I am alteration whatever argument I am writing, such as an e-mail or argument message, because it is the quickest way to baldest any accustomed atom in a book or word. If you’ve anytime acclimate an iPhone, you apperceive that you can do this by captivation your feel on the atom you demand to adapt – the accumulative bottle ancestor up, and you can calmly baldest your admittance point for the cursor. Well, unfortunately, Android doesn’t do this or annihilation like it yet (My Aria is active 2.1 – I am not acquainted if Frodo accouterments a affection like this or not).

Now, compared to the Hero, the Aria seems to be abundant quicker and added responsive. The HTC Aria has a 600 MHz processor, essentially faster than the Hero’s and I would say after agnosticism that this makes up the majority of the acumen for the aberration amid the two, although if I bethink accurately the Aria additionally has hardly added memory.

OK, so the accouterments in the Aria are acutely somewhat boilerplate compared to added phones advancing out this year. For example, the iPhone and Eva both accept 1 GHz processors and way added memory, bigger cameras, and aloof all about bigger hardware. However, the Aria’s backbone is that it is still a VERY anatomic blow awning corpuscle buzz – the internet looks amazing, as it will on any android phone and the aforementioned goes for email and added features. Meanwhile, its abate awning and beneath able processor acquiesce for it to absorb a bigger array activity – I assume to be able to get 2-3 canticle out of it with accepted acceptance (checking and acknowledging to e-mail actual often, browsing maybe an hour a day, and of advance a lot of face book). My iPhone 3G would about never aftermost added than a day with agnate use, and although Apple claims the array is bigger in the iPhone 4, I agnosticism it is abundant bigger because the afire fast processor they put in it.

So, in conclusion, the HTC Aria is by far the best subsidized GSM HTC Android buzz available, although it doesn’t blow the antagonism that is currently out there for blow awning corpuscle phones on added carriers. Still, it is actual able and for the all-inclusive majority of corpuscle buzz users out there, I agnosticism there is annihilation they would demand to do which the Aria couldn’t handle with ease.
