HTC Touch 3G review
Network and connections
Very similar to the Touch Viva model, this HTC Touch 3G integrates UMTS network reception, expanding its capabilities. The network receiver is still a GSM Quadband, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. Signal coverage is optimal in any condition. To browse the Internet there is an internal modem with GPRS/EDGE technology. The HTML browser can therefore display Web pages quickly. There is also a Wi-Fi antenna for distributed networks. There's also the convenient Bluetooth for data transfer, as well as USB support.
Design and features
The clean and refined style gives the Touch 3G a simple look. The edges are rounded to guarantee an optimal grip in any situation. The dimensions remain compact, offering handling without compromises: 14.5 mm thickness for 96 grams of weight. The front part houses the screen, a 2.8-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. It is also equipped with Resistive Touch Screen technology, for an even more precise touch to manage your device. Just below is a convenient directional pad, along with two keys for call management.
Main features
The platform for this phone is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, complete and functional right from the basic configuration. Java support also allows you to install software as you wish, to best customize your device. The classic management tools are present, such as contact list, organizer, alarm clock and calculator. With intuitive writing it is possible to quickly compose short messages but also more detailed E-mails. The Office and PDF document readers allow you to view their attachments. For telephone functions there are the hands-free speaker, the voice recorder and multiconference support.
Entertainment and multimedia
An excellent tool also for leisure time needs. The integrated camera has a resolution of 3.2 megapixels, allowing you to obtain good quality images, also thanks to the dedicated functions. It is also possible to record short videos. The memory available to the user is 256 MB, expandable via convenient microSD cards. The media player, on the other hand, offers the possibility of faithfully playing your favorite audio and video files. The AM/FM radio tuner is absent instead. The GPS receiver, on the other hand, proves useful for taking advantage of satellite functions. Battery life is very good, lasting up to 450 hours in Stand-by.
