HTC Salsa Review

HTC Salsa It seems ages since we were all drooling over Mobile World Congress back in February but here we are 6 months on having seen HTC, Samsung etc release most if not all of their announced devices from MWC. HTC announced no less than 6 products at MWC including 5 mobile phones. By the end of this month all 6 (plus the Sensation) will have been released upon the world.

The one that I have here for review is the HTC Salsa. This along with the HTC ChaCha has a special feature in it, a dedicated Facebook button.

Will this extra special feature float the social needs of users? Will it’s distinctly familiar looks put people off? So enjoy my HTC Salsa review, read on and all will be revealed.

Screen shot 2011-06-28 at 22.47.41

Look what just popped up on the Orange website as coming soon – The Monte Carlo. Clearly a follow on from the San Francisco this new Android device know in other parts of the world as the ZTE Skate looks to be a monster seller for Orange.

Prices are not confirmed yet but if the San Francisco was anything to go by then it will be extremely competitive. 

Sporting a 4.3 inch display the Monte Carlo will run Android 2.3, have a 5 megapixel camera and support both HD voice and UMA. Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me.

We will try to find out when we can expect the Monte Carlo to go on sale but in the meantime you can see more specs below.

HTC ChaCha review

HTC ChaCha review One of the most interesting phones to come out of Mobile World Congress from HTC was the HTC ChaCha. The Market hasn’t been kind to front facing keyboard, Android devices and there has never been a hit model for this form factor.

Instead of going the whole hog and building a much rumoured Facebook phone, HTC decided to cover both popular form factors, the Candy bar and front facing keyboard, and focus on a heavier Facebook integration. To date the front facing keyboard has only been address by Samsung and Motorola in a more professional yet lower quality approach. HTC saw a gap in the market and pushed out a higher quality, yet cost conscious front facing, Qwerty keyboard phone.

Combining their popular HTC Sense over a popular texting form with the social network manic in mind, how could HTC fail?

Evo3D

With yesterdays announcement by HTC that we here in the UK will get the Evo 3D, Vodafone have sent through an email to me today confirming they will be carrying the new device in the near future. If you are due an upgrade this one could be a serious contender. An exact launch date is still yet to be confirmed but we will of course let you know as soon as we can.

With a stunning, 4.3 inch stereoscopic display, the HTC Evo 3D takes entertainment-on-the-go to a new level, enabling you to view photos, home movies and Hollywood blockbusters in crystal clear 3D – with no need for 3D specs!

Backed by a powerful 1.2 GHz dual core processor, the HTC Evo 3D also delivers speedy web browsing, instant image capture and smooth play back in full HD with stereo surround sound. Two enhanced 5 megapixel cameras ensure that you’re always going to capture the perfect moment as you see it, and deliver outstanding results in low light thanks to their f/2.2 maximum aperture.
And at the flick of a switch you can alternate between a regular 2D and the outstanding 3D display. Check out this quick video to find out more about the HTC Evo 3D and visit the Vodafone online shop to register for all of the latest information.

HTC EVO 3D coming to the UK

EVO_3D_FrontR The HTC EVO 3D has been on sale in the US for a short time already but today HTC announced that the EVO 3D would be coming soon to the UK market.

As the names suggests, the EVO 3D is all about 3D content delivery with a 4.3-inch qHD display that’s capable of delivering gorgeous 3D content in high-res without the need of glasses!

I had a chance to try the EVO 3D out last week and I can tell you it’s really impressive and you’ll definitely have to check out the 3D display for yourself.

Overall the EVO 3D is a bit like a super version of the HTC Sensation. It has the same size display, same CPU and memory and the same Sense 3.0 user interface. What’s different is that the EVO is definitely all about media consumption. Starting with the dual 5 mega-pixel cameras which allow you to capture stills and video in 3D. 5 megapixels may not sound like much but HTC have also gone back and reworked the cameras to improve the quality and they are now F2.2 which dramatically improves the low-light performance but there’s also a dual LED flash to help things along. The pictures you take in 3D can be sent to others in either 3D or 2D and as the 3D file format used is a standard one it should be compatible with other devices too.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo coming soon to Vodafone in red

Screen shot 2011-06-25 at 15.15.31

Hopefully you saw our Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo unboxing video yesterday. If you like the look of the device you may well be interested to hear that Vodafone will be selling the red version of the handset in the near future which looks pretty sweet. The details have popped up on the Vodafone ‘coming soon’ page of their site where you can also sign up for email updates on when the device is going to start selling.

You can see a few highlights of the device listed below and of course keep an eye out for our full review in the coming weeks.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo gives you great photos every time thanks to its high-quality 8.1-megapixel camera. And when you want to talk face to face in a video call, there’s a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The main camera lets you take advantage of face recognition, so everyone in the picture is in focus. There’s also Exmor R technology, which is great for photos in even the lowest light. You won’t find these features on the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY.
