2011-01-06
hey guys it's brandon minimal from pocket now calm and we're closing at the HTC freestyle this is HTC's only non smart it's running on the brew MP platforms I've never actually used this kind of platform so you're going to be looking at it for the first time sort of along with me so this is what it looks like it's going to be on ATT specs are kind of lackluster but again this is going to be an inexpensive film 3.2 inch hvga display so that's 480 x 320 3.2 megapixel camera it's got this sense interface but kind of toned down 528 megahertz processor only 256 megabytes of RAM anyway let's look at it for the first time I've never actually played with a phone like this before so I don't know what's going on here there's a back button there okay so we've got HTC Sense like look and these dots on the bottom telling me that there are multiple home screens kind of like Andrew so we swipe around there's got to be a way to get to a program tray maybe it's this one right here no that's not it maybe there is no program train okay so it's got an android like notification system overall it feels fast I can't really knock it all right here we go menu go to menu these are the applications that you can access to check out the mobile web this is a 3g phone not for cheap okay so we've got a browser here full HTML looks like on-screen keyboard the keyboard looks pretty sensitive which is nice see what we get here it'll it'll have to commute back everything ok no Wi-Fi no sim card so when i press enter nothing is going to happen so i'm not even going to try as this nice man told me so we'll go back here see what happens when we press the phone button sim card missing so it can't access the phone function but that's what the dialer looks like scroll to the right looks like we have a screen add contacts screen to look through and scroll through messages kind of like you get on android and even windows mobile but not we just phone going the other way we have shortcuts so we can press the plus button scroll through say I want that one click and there it is photo frame tap and hold assuming it's happened for what happens yes you can resize it out over and over here weather data so certain of this HTC Sense like experience but brought to a device that's not as powerful but it feels darn fast which is a which is nice for those looking for something that's not quite a smartphone buy us more or less expensive that's it for now
