All About The Aria
AT&T recently dived into the smart-phone race through its unveiling of the HTC Aria
. The feature-rich phone, which easily contends for top spot of the AT&T Smartphone line, boasts the quick and responsive Android 2.1 platform, a favorite of the latest iPhone killers. Similar to the Droid, EVO, and Galaxy Series, the Aria packs loads of features such as GPS, Wi-Fi, and FM Radio, into its bright, crisp screen. However, unlike competing smart phones which have opted for bigger screens, the Aria opted to stick with a smaller screen, making this tiny 4.1x2.3x.46 phone one of the smallest of the Android series.
HTC Aria deviates from the recent "bigger is better" route that other smart phone producers have taken, creating a comfortable, compact phone that can be easily accessed in the user's pocket. However, due to the small size, comparable to the HTC HDMini, the phone is vulnerable to damage, making HTC Aria Cases or HTC Aria Screen Protectors a great investment. Even with its smaller size, the phone still delivers brilliant picture and video on its bright, crisp, touch-screen.
The Aria's design is similar to the HTC HD Mini's, yet it is still an upgrade with the Android 2.1 platform. The easily accessible phone delivers a custom keypad that easily outperforms other Android smart phones, however, due to the small size, still has problems during typing, texting, or emailing. Where the user will really enjoy the phone, is through its use of the HD Sense interface, featuring multi-touch capacity, and customizable menus. Equipped with HTC Aria accessories, such as headphones or a micro SD card, AT&T's smart phone will do even more and astound its users.
The Android phone, like other contending phones, comes loaded with prepackaged goodies from the Android interface as well as some apps from AT&T. However, this is where AT&T delivers short, and limits the phone as one of the mid-performers among the series. While other phones enjoy 3rd party applications, AT&T restricts the Aria to purchases only in the marketplace. Furthermore, many of the gratuitous AT&T apps require monthly subscriptions to run, highly diminishing the appeal of this phone when compared to other smart phones.
So, while the HTC Aria remains a high-performance smart phone in AT&T that's not an iPhone, the limiting service and restrictions placed on the phone places it as a mid-performer in the Android Series. Basically, for now, the other carriers deliver better phones; phones with better battery life, better streaming quality, better cameras, and most importantly, 3rd party applications. So until AT&T lifts its restrictions on the Android marketplace, the Aria will remain in the middle echelon of smart phones and will not overtake any of the top contenders anytime soon.
