HTC Smart unboxed: photos

The HTC Smart just turned up at our doorstep looking for a place to crash. We’ve been waiting to try out the tiny little touchscreen since Mobile World Congress back in February, so naturally we welcomed it in. Come and see the unboxing photos here, and tell us what you want to see in our HTC Smart review!

The HTC Smart’s an unusual move from HTC, better known for cranking out phenomenal Android and Windows Mobile phones. It’s running Brew OS, Qualcomm’s decidedly non-smartphone mobile platform (You might have seen something similar on an INQ phone), but the twist is it’s sporting the same HTC Sense skin as new HTC Android and Windows Mobile phones, so you can see what your friends are jabbering about on Facebook and Twitter from your address book.

We’ve yet to log into the social networking elements of the HTC Smart (Excuse us, we’re having a few teething SIM card data problems), but from our quick first play, we’re certainly taken with the build. The HCT Smart is a slim, glossy phone that’s vastly more attractive than the similarly sized HTC Tattoo. The screen is responsive (The onscreen keys are too small for our chubby digits, mind), though we’re a bit puzzled by the concept of the Back button also acting as a Menu button when on the homescreen.

We’ll be putting the HTC Smart through the grinder over the next few days, but in the meantime, have a look at it coming out of its carton in our unboxing photo gallery.

Got any burning questions you want answered in our HTC Smart review? Jot your desires down here and we’ll do our best to answer them for you.

    Can you review it from the perspective of a very young user? If this is a cheap, reduced function smartphone I’d be interested in it for my 10 year old niece. Especially ’cause it’s pink! Phone, text and (closely monitored) Facebook is all she cares about.

      Absolutely Colin, we’ll be happy to. It’s only £100 on O2 PAYG so it’s certainly a good solution for a tween audience (Having tried to type on it, I think little fingers will be of a great advantage too!).

        Cool, I look forward to the review.
