HTC Corporation has unveiled the HTC Smart, a smartphone that creates a new category of easy-to-use, connected smartphones that are accessible by people all over the world. The HTC Smart will be available this spring across Europe and Asia.
HTC Smart utilizes Qualcomm�s Brew MP, a popular mobile operating system that enables smartphone devices to be offered at more aggressive price points, providing HTC with the flexibility to deliver smartphone features on devices across multiple tiers.
�HTC has always focused on listening to customers and setting the stage for new mobile categories and HTC Smart is the response to customer demand around the world for an easier-to-use, affordable smartphone,� said Peter Chou, chief executive officer, HTC Corporation. �Just adding a touch interface doesn�t mean a phone is a smartphone; The integration of HTC Sense brings an unparalleled smartphone experience for people looking to do more on their phone.�
HTC Smart begins with a friendly compact touch design and integrates an intuitive user experience that is centered around HTC Sense, an HTC design philosophy that puts people at the center by focusing on three core areas: Make It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected. This enables personal customization of each person�s own phone experience. It also provides a quick and easy way to see what friends are up to via various social networks as well as quickly communicating over the phone, through text messaging or email.
�HTC Smart breaks new ground in delivering the powerful, in-demand smartphone features that consumers want on a more accessible device for global markets,� said Paul Jacobs, chief executive officer, Qualcomm Incorporated. �We are pleased to be supporting HTC as they utilize the capabilities of Qualcomm�s Brew Mobile Platform open operating system to offer high-end capabilities and a compelling mobile user experience at mass-market price points.�
The phone is based on a 300MHz processor, Brew Mobile Platform OS, comes with 256MB RAM, 256 MB ROM, Bluetooth, digital camera and a 2.8" LCD touchscreen. It will be available as a 2100MHz WCDMA device.
