How Smart Are The Htc Smartphones?

HTC is an abbreviation for High Tech Computer Corporation and represents one of the best performing companies from the mobile sector from Asia, more exactly from Taiwan.
The company is widely know as a mobile producer that uses both "Microsoft Windows Mobile" and "Android" operating systems on their phones.

The growth of the company in the last years – 2006, 2007, 2008 was quite impressive and lead to world wide recognition and a strong brand positioning on the phone market.
It is also important to mention that HTC helped with the creation of T-Mobile G1 Android phone, by manufacturing the phone's hardware.

On the smartphone market, HTC has introduced 2 major series: S series – smart phones and T series – touch phones; the company also manufactures Android phones (A series), PDA phones (P series) and Mobile computers (X series).
A phone can have different names as it is rebranded by different telecommunication carriers and the only way to know if a HTC phone sold by Orange is the same as the one sold by Vodafone is by looking at its series.
The newest smartphones realest by HTC are S 740 – which appeared in September, 2008 and T Diamond 2 – which appeared in 2009.
So how smart are they, in comparison to their competitors – iPhone, G1 and Blackberry ?

First of all, S740 has a slide out, 4 row keyboard and doesn't own a touchscreen; a 3.2 MP color camera that benefits from autofocus, a Bluetooth and WI - FI connections, a built in FM radio and a 256 MB of memory. Moreover, it supports the audio formats: AAC, AAC+, MP3, WMA, WAV, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, but does not support video formats and can be used as a GPS. The operating system used is "Windows Mobile Standard" which confers a faster time response. A major draw back is the display that has only 2.4 inch. As design, the S740 is quite stylish and quite different from other phones having only 116.3 mm x 43.4 mm x 16.6 mm in dimensions and a diamond back borrowed from HTC Touch Diamond.

On the other hand, the Touch Diamond 2 has a 3.2 inch touch sensitive display (just a little bit smaller than iPhone's 3.5 inch display), a memory of 288 RAM and a main 5.0 MP camera (the largest among its competitors) with autofocus and a secondary color camera. Even more, the Touch Diamond can also be used as a GPS, supports video and audio formats and uses "Windows Mobile Professional" as an operating system.

All these put together, show us major differences between the S and T series, and also the fact that Touch Diamond 2 can be regarded as a tough competition on the smartphone market.
So - How smart are they? I will say "pretty smart" and also quite "good looking".
