With the recent release of many new smart-phones within the last few years, it’s easy to overlook some of HTC’s offerings in the mobile device market. With hundreds of mobile phone deals available from over a dozen providers, marketing efforts become vital to the success of a new mobile phone, often overshadowing the raw performance factors that should be vital.
While every new mobile tries to have its niche, the HTC HD mini exceeds expectations in both size and display quality. Of the many new phones available, HTC HD mini combines the size and portability with an ultra sharp, 3.2 inch high definition display. The display performs excellently, and is quite responsive and easy to use with one just one hand. With Wi-Fi and GPS capability built in, this is quite the handy device.
Unfortunately, with the improved size of the unit, a decrease in performance is noted compared to HTC’s other offerings in the mobile marketplace. Windows 6.5 Mobile does not run nearly as well, as we’ve come to expect from more powerful units. With so few Windows mobile apps on the market, and the upcoming release of Windows 7 mobile, it’s hard to say that everyone will be satisfied with this device, despite its stand out features. The HTC HD Mini has its niche, and it performs well within it, however many will find that a larger mobile is just as portable as the slimmer sleeker HD Mini.
