subject: Htc Gratia With Great Looks Catching Many Eyes [print this page] The HTC Gratia is the phone that would bring the HTC brand to a lot of customers and it is not going to be just the HTC brand as it will also bring the Android operating system platform to a lot of users as well. This is because the HTC Gratia is the latest phone from HTC that is being targeted at mid-range customers and does not overly blow your mind with its features. However, what it does have is a great little package and some much needed features that are sure to make this phone to hit amongst people.
The HTC Gratia has the 3.2 inch touch screen display that clearly shows that this phone is not for the competing with the likes of iPhone 4 and the Nokia N8. However, what it does is that it also brings the touch screen display technology to a lot of users, who in the past have been forced to wait for long to get a new smart phone with touch screen display. This phone is a budget phone, you might be thinking that HTC would have provided this phone with a resistive touch screen, but you will be blown out of your mind is the HTC Gratia has the capacitive touch screen, which means that you can do all the multi-touch actions on a budget. The phone has some intelligent features like flipping the phone to mute a call and so on. This is made possible because of the use of the famed HTC Sense user interface, which apart from reducing the complexity of the 2.2 version of Android, also includes some nice little touches like the above mentioned one.
The 2.2 Android operating system means that you can now enjoy the best and that the latest of Android without having to spend the huge bucks you would have otherwise done if you had gone for a phone like the HTC Desire HD, which costs nearly twice the amount of the HTC Gratia, but still has the same 2.2 Android operating system. The best feature of the phone though is the five megapixel camera, which is really great and brings the phone on par with phones like HTC 7 Trophy, which is the latest Windows phone from HTC, but it still has the same five megapixel camera. Apart from the hardware in the camera itself, the phone has face detection capabilities that are bestowed to the camera. The phone has an intelligent memory management system and this means that it can do with only 600 MHz processing power and 384 MB of RAM.
These are not class leading specifications by any standard, but they more than get the job done brilliantly. They also mean that HTC can offer this phone for much less than their competitors and this makes it one of the most value for money buys in the current market. The HTC Gratia will be released in 2011 and the exact price of the phone is not known yet.
