HTC Tattoo review
Network and connections
Here on the market is a new quality device that keeps a modest selling price. The HTC Tattoo offers notable technical qualities, such as the GSM Quadband network receiver, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. This ensures optimal signal coverage, also thanks to UMTS support. For browsing the Web, nothing is faster than HSDPA, allowing HTML pages to open at speeds equal to home ADSL. In addition, distributed networks can be exploited thanks to the integrated Wi-Fi antenna. Quite handy for exchanging data with other devices is Bluetooth. Or again, the USB cable output that allows synchronization with a PC.
