HTC Explorer
HTC EXPLORER REVIEW
HTC Explorer is the simply smarter phone that
puts YOU in control. An intuitive, easy to use lockscreen and homescreen let
you access your most important information and tasks. The latest addition to
HTC bulging pockets stuffed with Android smartphones isn't aimed at aficionados
or riders at the high-tech gates. The Explorer is a budget handset aimed at
first-time smartphone users, with a focus on keeping things simple and easy to
use. It's a small but chubby handset which fits nicely in the hand, with a rugged
plastic casing that feels sturdy and has a rubbery surface that helps with
grip. Enjoy web browsing similar to your desktop. Keep in touch with loved ones
even easier with email designed for easy navigation and quick reply. And the
People Widget lets you group up your favorite people and view all your
communication options on one screen for simple access. Despite its budget
price, the Explorer comes with all the usual smartphone features, including a
3-megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and access to the Android Market. The
Explorer chunky construction and easy-to-use Sense software make it a good buy
as a simple smartphone.
