#Display
The display is as I said, with its nearly 11 cm pretty huge. It is a capacitive SLCD, is the one that you have no problems to deactivate accidentally the Lock screen, on the other hand, that with gloves no operation is possible, alternatively, it offers a capacitive stylus, but I did not try was , Secondly, the SLCD has a constant power consumption, which does not depend on the color of the represented motifs, but only on the set brightness compared to the AMOLED. Where would we be the next topic, the brightness and color representation. Leave the DHD run regularly with 20% screen brightness and do not have problems in the display to read, black is black and white is white. The reaction of the touchscreen is continuously smoothly and quickly.
Downside is as I said, the power consumption of the display size is expensive and therefore the display is eating with me about 50 to 60% of battery power, depending on frequency of use. However, the DHD is also innately a whole bucket to be optimized settings for brightness, duration, effect displays, etc. pp. So that you can decide relatively freely, how much power it is hoping to put into display and where you prefer to get tickled a few percent.
#Akku
And while we're talking about the battery, the duration of which is up to me on average 1 1/2 days, and I'm automatically 22-5 clock in airplane mode and daytime synchronization (weather, Twitter, Email, Facebook) and wireless or if no wireless connection is automatic 3G to have.
A handy option of DHD, it automatically activated WLAN preferred WLAN, as long as the connection is given and otherwise goes to the 3G mode. Charging is done via the microUSB port and lasts for battery level by about 3% about 3 hours.
#Camera
Back in aluminum monocoque located next to the speaker and covers for SIM / microSD and battery (on the same eingehe I) Camera and a doppelLED flash. Cosy 8 MP and autofocus, a dozen or so effects and a few rudimentary image editing options sweeten a sticking its environment, the picture service Flickr can also be integrated innately accounts default. Videos can also be recorded with the camera, even in HD, but should not deter the video philes to get to an appropriate camcorder, because the quality here is moving clearly in the nice to have levels, as one would expect from a smartphone rather.
#Kunststoffabdeckungen
So now to the covers on the back, which made me in advance together with the battery power most concerned because they have read here before much negative (smartphone in this price range do not buy without first informing you ?!). First principle, which consists of an aluminum block cell phone, which was milled according manage to accommodate the electronics in it per se. And when we think of aluminum block, first comes the association of the higher robustness against plastics and feel the haptic quality, in conjunction with mobile phone but you can also get the cold horror because aluminum is not known as particularly signal transparent to radio frequencies. HTC has solved this re-armed by the antennas are installed in the tops of the covers. This can be seen also at the contacts when removing the covers. Therefore, the covers also made of plastic, which provides the same even for something Gripp, since they are slightly rough to the touch without thereby greasy. So you can keep the phone in his right hand and Gripp has at their fingertips (which are at the same level with the volume control) and on the little finger / palm, so that one does not slip on the smooth aluminum.
In landscape mode, you still have a plastic body to the LED flash around mediates maintenance. However, I am inclined in landscape orientation to get the volume keys and before to adjust the volume.
The battery cover is something friemelig because it is quite narrow and is attached to a curved point, but can be attributed with reasonable force and to make. The SIM / SD cover is smoother here. Since I had problems with my provider, I had often change the SIM card, with the lid now half a dozen times and had to make without muck. Two thumb left and right, looking with hands on the screen stop, no problem, as long as you, the manual reads just once. Small gap between the SIM cover and Alubody is given, but there really is only including as much space to slide the card to the DHD under the "skin", I see no major pollution problems.
Does one even 3.5mm jack and microUSB mention? Is standard.
#Speicher
We come thus to the store. Innately the DHD comes with 1.5GB of internal memory, of which about 1 GB are free, and a 8GB microSD (upgradeable to 32GB). The card supplied was a Samsung microSDHC Class 2 with me.
#Lautsprecher
The speaker was indeed criticized occasionally, which I personally do not feel as a defect. The speaker is loud enough to hear ringing and good enough to lead decent calls. I'm on my knees HTC grateful that the speaker is not suitable as a mobile boom box, where the enjoying music using headphones, however there is no impediment, since prevails a very good signal quality. Again, it is clear that the music comes out, is only as good as the music that you reinsteckt. Movies watch on the go also works smoothly.
#Software
We come to the soft part. Android and Sense.
By nature I have Android 2.2 Froyo and HTC Sense as a launcher. HTC is amongst other things with 7 home screens, and some widget-called applications that can be placed there and run directly comparable with the gadgets in Windows Vista /. 7 In addition, more widgets for just about anything are also available via Google Market. Included in the package are a priori e-administration, Calendar, Latitude an eReader, Friend Stream, pictures, contacts, mail, Market, Music, Twitter, Weather, Youtube..etc. pp. Backgrounds, interface, ring tones, etc. pp. Everything can be customized to almost any.
#Hotspot
Big plus, I personally find the in-house ability a WLAN hotspot set up, with the mobile then a definable number of other devices allow Internet access, including WPA / WPA2 and selectable designation / password. Another option are: Access the laptop on cell phone via USB cable, access the mobile phone over laptop via USB. Bluetooth I personally have not yet been tested.
#Sense
Interesting for Anxious or forgetful is still the possibility to remotely control the phone via HTCSense.com. If you look at this free logs, so you can leave the phone via the Internet portal ringing, determine the location via geo-localization, divert calls, delete the phone locks, and memory.
With respect to the battery you should possibly consider the relation:
- 1GHz processor
- 750 MB RAM
- 4.3 "screen
- 3G, WLAN etc.
Nevertheless, the battery lasts a good day, what is for 1230mAh really neat.
My Conclusion:
Who wants to have a cell phone in order to come into the mobile network and the other functions of a smartphone like, is in good hands here. The Google Market is now full to bursting and will soon be made clearer. Personalization and free design as part of the hardware leaves no wish unfulfilled.
Who wants to have a cell phone, its battery holds a week should go via netbook or laptop to the network, is the need to charge but also the latest after 8 hours.
Who wants to have speakers with neat WUMS should buy a stereo system, or for a clever video camera.
I'm with the device fully satisfied on.
PS: Since my grad the router died off, I am sending this review off by the USB connection via DHD.
Works so well fine.
