Is HTC Inspire Better Than iPhone 4

Tom — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:40:34 +0000

iPhone 4 was release in July 2010 and HTC Inspire 4G was released in February 2011. They were born 7 months apart and share few similarities. Is HTC Inspire better than iPhone 4? First of all, the HTC Inspire run on AT&T’s 4G network and iPhone 4 is still in 3G mode – it will not be fair to compare web browsing speed even though they both have 1GHz processor inside. AT&T Inspire has a much larger screen 4.3 inch vs. iPhone’s 3.5 inch. However, iPhone 4 has better resolution thanks to its retina display capable of showing 960×640 pixels. Even with a bigger screen, the Inspire 4G can only display 480 x 800 pixels. The iPhone 4 design is incredible – it’s slim and both sides are made of scratch-free aluminosilicate glass panels. One thing that’s not as good as HTC Inspire is the camera. HTC has 8 megapixels on board while iPhone 4 has only 5 megapixels. It’s not a huge difference if you view pictures on the screen. They both look amazingly clear. When you print the pictures out, the 8 megapixel camera does have an upper hand. So, is HTC Inspire better than iPhone 4? I don’t think so. iPhone 4 is lighter and thinner. And best of all, the iPhones has so many more app than you can find in Android Market.

Make sure you have cash or credit card ready to purchase this all new Android phone for $199.99 on June 15th. 2-year contract is required.

Plus tons of preloaded apps like Google Maps, GMail, and YouTube. What’s also cool about the HTC Sensation is that it HTC Watch that lets users rent or purchase movies/TV shows. And HTC Listen will let users access music via a subscription. All these are exclusively available T-Mobile fastest 4G network – that’s one more reason that you should like T-Mobile.

HTC Trophy on Sale

Tom — Fri, 27 May 2011 12:37:39 +0000

Believe it or not, the first Windows Phone 7 for Verizon Wireless – HTC Trophy is on sale today for only $149.99 with a new contract. In addition to the relatively low price, you will also get a free XBOX 360 game. Before Verizon got the iPhone 4, some people were speculating that Verizon will team up with Microsoft to create an iPhone killer. Well, that’s not going to happen. Instead Verizon Wireless will try to selling as many smartphones as they can get on their hands – including IOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, HP WebOS, and Blackberry. While other carriers have been selling half a dozen of WP7 devices since last summer, Verizon just began selling the new HTC Trophy today. And I got my hands on this 3.8 inch touchscreen smartphone at a local Verizon Wireless store. Although it’s not the highest end WP7 you would expect the hardware is comparable with other recently introduced smartphone at the below $150 price range. I place it side by side with the new INCREDIBLE 2 by HTC – the Verizon Trophy is a bit smaller. However, they seem to have the same built quality. If you look else where online you might be able to find HTC Trophy for sale at $50 cheaper. Good luck.

Does HTC Thunderbolt have Low Battery Life?

Tom — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:40:33 +0000

The HTC Thunderbolt is a great phone and does everything super fast. The only complaint that I heard people who actually use the phone is batter life? Not enough juice to last for the whole day. Does HTC Thunderbolt have low battery life compared to other Android smartphones? It really depends on how you use it. In general, the larger the screen the faster the batter gets drain. If you leave the screen lit for the entire day even without surfing the web or checking emails the phone will die after 24 hours. Another way to lose battery faster is data usage – if you stream videos on YouTube all day long chances are the phone will die after just a few hours. Under normal usage, the HTC Thunderbolt should be able to handle calling, surfing the web, playing games, listening to music, and watching movies for 12 hours with a single charge. The low battery life on the Thunderbolt is a result of how people use it, not necessary a problem at all. If you do need to check emails, watch movies, or surf the web for a long period of time without charging, make sure to have a secondary as a backup.

When Can You Buy DROID INCREDIBLE 2 from Verizon Wireless?

Tom — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 20:13:17 +0000

The rumored HTC Droid Incredible 2 will be available for purchase at the end of April, making another high-end smartphone with bargain price for consumers. You can buy it at retail stores starting April 28. Compared to the original DROID INCREDIBLE, the updated INCREDIBLE 2 has a larger screen and Global 3G. This new Android touchscreen phone packs a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 768MB RAM, and 8-megapixel camera. The specs are keeping up with other recent Android phone release. However, our biggest disappointment is the lack of 4G LTE. The fact that the original INCREDIBLE was released about a year ago we should see something like 10 megapixel camera and 1.2 GHz processor. Anyway, we expect Verizon Wireless will keep the price tag of $150 after rebates. You can always find it cheaper elsewhere online when you are willing to commit to a 2-year contract.

What is the Best Verizon 4G Phone

Tom — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:43:17 +0000

In case you don’t know, Verizon Wireless has rolled out its 4G LTE network in many metro areas. And if you are the lucky ones that are covered by the nation’s most reliable wireless network, you might be wondering what is the best Verizon 4G phone. You do have a lot of choices when it comes to picking a 4G carrier. But if you want stick with Verizon then let us find you the perfect 4G phone. The first out of the gate this year is the all new HTC Thunderbolt. You will love the 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen capable of displaying 480×800 pixels. Shoot amazing high definition pictures and videos using the 8 megapixel camera. Streaming videos at speed 10 times faster than current 3G. You will be absolutely amazed how quickly a full movie can be downloaded. Other so-called 4G phones from T-Mobile and AT&T are technically 3.5G. Unlike current 3G CDMA phones, you can talk and surf the web at the same time with 4G LTE. Although there will be more 4G phones coming out during Q4, your best bet is to take the Thunderbolt now and see if it’s worth upgrading to a different one by the end of the year.

Is HTC Evo 4G worth Buying?

Tom — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 20:29:57 +0000

For $199.99 after $100 rebates, is it worth buying HTC Evo 4G? Not a bad price at all. The only hassle is why require the rebate. Just throw in like an instant discount. The iPhone 3GS starts at $199.99. Not cheap, but it’s a simple price to compare to other smartphones. Until you get the $100 rebate back, you should always consider the cost is $299.99. Who know, maybe you will miss the deadline or lose the purchase receipt. Anyway, is HTC Evo worth the money though? Consider buying HTC Evo without contract can cost $500 or more then $199.99 is an awesome deal for such high-end smartphone. The 8 megapixel digital camera and high resolution screen are worth the money already. So, if you can find anything lower than $199, don’t hesitate to buy it.
