HTC Corporation and Telefonica have recently announced an exclusive collaboration to merchandize the HTC Smart, an affordable and easy-to-use smartphone in Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Users can now enjoy easy-to-use widgets, speedy browsing and connectivity at an affordable price. Offering an advanced mobile phone experience, the Smart is enriched with HTC Sense, HTC’s unique design philosophy that focuses the mobile experience on people.
Togged in an elegant cover, the eye-candy device features a compact touch design that integrates the pillars of HTC Sense – Make It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected – to deliver a user-friendly user experience. Users can customize their own, personal Smart experience using a rich variety of widgets for quick access to contacts, photos, music, weather and more.
“More and more people are craving advanced mobile phone experiences with email, web browsing and social networking but the cost and complexity often represent a significant obstacle for many. The HTC Smart introduces this functionality in an intuitive phone that is affordable,” explained Peter Chou, chief executive officer, HTC Corporation. “With the HTC Smart, HTC and Telefónica share a similar vision for bringing easy-to-use, affordable smartphone experience to the masses.”
Besides, the exquisite Smart lets users follow their friends’ status updates using HTC Friend Stream, an application that seamlessly aggregates all of their social communication including Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organized flow of updates.
The device also features Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform, a powerful mobile operating system that enables HTC to deliver the HTC Sense experience on more affordable smartphones.
In addition to being exclusively available through Q2 in Germany, Ireland and the UK in April, the HTC Smart will also be available in Italy with Telecom Italia, Norway with Netcom and across Europe through the direct channel.
