HTC Tattoo A3288 Unboxing Pictures & Review
The budget-friendly Android device from HTC has finally been announced under the name of HTC Tattoo! Well~ it is very happy to find that HTC decided to cover the mid-budget smartphone market. Just like its name, you can customize you phone inside and outside. Decide how your phone looks with its switchable cover, and then decide what you want to look at with the Sense user interface which we loved on the incredible HTC Hero. What’s more? Read on.
What’s inside? The Phone, a Battery, a Charger, a Data Cable and User's Guide.Tattoo is compact and features rounded edges, which makes it feel great in hand. As it is a small-sized device, thus it includes a smaller, 2.8-inch display. Under the touchscreen, there are some external keys which became the standard for Android phone: Home, Menu, Back, Search, Accept and Reject calls. But this time, it doesn’t feature the usual trackball, instead you have a big, four-way navigation with the Enter button.
At the top of the phone, you may find a 3.5mm jack.
Turn to the bottom, you will notice the usual miniUSB port.
I find it a little bit annoying to be forced to remove the cover every time I want to insert a microSD memory card (SD 2.0 compatible).
The 3.2MP camera is located at the back of the phone which is surrounded by a small, metallic plate. And the speaker grid is just next to it. The new features offered by HTC this time is the changeable back cover that personalizes your device. If you don’t like the robot there, you can easily pick the other one or just make the look, by designing your own personal skin for the phone.
The standard homescreen here. After pressing the menu button, you will notice six shortcuts: All programs, Scenes, Add to home, Wallpaper, Notifications and Settings.
The grid interface here. Just like the one in Hero, but only shown 3 rows here whereas 4 rows in previous one.
Tattoo is the 4th Android phone under HTC, comes closer after Hero. Of course the new model would have some differences: smaller of display, the Andriod trackball is replaced by a four-way navigation pad and a bit down grade of the camera. However, it is running on 528 MHz processor just the same as the Hero, with 512MB RAM and 256MB and a FM radio added, together with the attractive price tag. After a simple calculation, Tattoo has a better price of value. It has all the ingredients to become a well-sold smartphone.
