HTC say their new, Qualcomm BREW-based HTC Smart offers a new, smartphone experience to the masses, and while we reckon the masses are doing a pretty decent job on their own รค press release is still pretty light on specifications – we’re waiting to hear back from HTC for full details – but since it looks to be the same device as we knew as the Touch.B we’re guessing it’ll have the same specifications.
hat means 3G and Bluetooth, though no WiFi, together with a 2-megapixel camera that shoots stills but not video. There’s also – joy! – a dedicated camera shortcut on the side. Other hardware controls are minimal, with a volume rocker on the left-hand side and then end, back and call/power keys up front. There’s also what looks like a small, silver button just below the screen; that could be an aesthetic detail or it might be a home key.
HTC say the Smart will be available this coming Spring, across Europe and Asia, though while they tell us the handset will be competitively priced they don’t actually reveal what that price might be. Any of the specs could have changed since we saw the leaked prototypes, too, so we’ll update as soon as we know more.
The HTC Smart has a 300MHz processor with 256MB each of RAM and ROM, a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 2100MHz HSDPA/WCDMA and quadband GSM/EDGE. There’s also a 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera with LED flashlight, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot and a 1,000 mAh battery good for up to 450 minutes GSM talktime or 450hrs GSM standby. SIze is a compact 104 x 55 x 12.8 mm while weight is 108g. Full spec sheet is in the gallery below.
