HTC HD Mini Review
HTC HD mini is a smaller cousin of HTC HD2. However, It is strange to call a cell phone, which is equipped with a screen size of 3.2-inch, “small”, right? However, this is one of the latest products of HTC, which will soon hit the market.
HTC HD Mini
The housing in which all the components of the HTC HD Mini are closed, is pretty and elegant. The entire front panel is virtually a flat surface. HTC HD mini differs from its bigger brother - HD2 mainly when it comes to the screen size. HTC HD Mini is equipped with an HVGA 3.2-inch, 320 x 480 pixels touch screen (HTC HD2 has a 4.3-inch, WVGA 480 x 800 pixels display). Screen quality is slightly worse than we had in case of HTC HD2. In their newest product, HTC has not used the AMOLED technology, which can be found in HTC Desire and HTC Legend.
Operating system and interface
At this point, there is no change. The device is based on Windows Mobile 6.5, which should soon be updated to 6.5.3 version. It should be noted that this phone will not receive Windows Phone 7.
The system is supported by the HTC Sense user interface. In this respect, there is no change compared to the HD2. Apparently everything works well. HTC HD Mini is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 600MHz clock speeds - the same which can be found in the Legend. It has 384 MB of RAM.
Camera
Image quality is acceptable. It is not great, but the 5Mpix camera fulfills its essential function pretty well. Everything depends on the lighting because the camera was not equipped with flash. Still missing a dedicated camera button.
Battery
The tool used with everything turned on (push email enabled, and Twitter updates) is able to withstand a day without any problems.
