HTC SMT5800
HTC SMT-5800 joins the group of smaller Windows Mobile smartphones. Its pocket-size feature was accomplished by making its mid-section narrow. The QVGA resolution screen’s size is maximized at 2.4 inches, but the navigation and separate numeric keys’ utility are affected.
It does manage to squeeze in a full sliding QWERTY keyboard to its 4.1 x 2 x 0.7 in inches measurement. It weighs a total of 4.2 ounces.
Texts and images are easily seen in its 65,536 color output screen with a 320 x 240 pixel. Though, the display can definitely seem washed out under bright sunlight.
The power key is on the left side together with the volume slider and a microSD slot that is without a cover. The SMT-5800’s right side contains the easy to locate and use camera button, while its bottom has the battery cover release. Tests have shown SMT-5800’s clear call quality and ability to sustain a signal. It has both EV-DO and 1xRTT connection. It also has standard voice communication features like smart dialing, speakerphone and voice command. It can have a talk-time of 3.5 hours.
Its EV-DO capability enables it to reach data speeds of 600Kbps which will be enough for smooth web browsing, downloading and streaming.The SMT-5800 uses Windows Mobile 6 edition. Its Outlook is synched with the contacts database, which can contain not only addresses and numbers but personal information like important dates and names as well. Owners not only have Microsoft Outlook mail at their disposal, they can also upload Google, AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo. They can also launch the Pocket Internet Explorer from its Start menu, but without a mini-map or RSS feed reader.
Like other Windows Mobile smartphones, owners can also view and use Adobe PDFs, Excel, PowerPoint and Word programs. Another plus to SMT-5800 is its Windows Media Player 10 Mobile that enables users to play AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, WAV, WMA and WMV files, as well as music and videos; and integrated Bluetooth 2.0. Add-ons are Bubblebreaker and Solitaire games. Bluetooth music streaming can drain this smartphone’s battery in a day, but limiting use to calls and web browsing can lengthen use up to 3 days.
This smartphone’s 2 megapixel camera feature can take still shots and videos fairly sharp from as far as 10 feet. You can make adjustments to ambience, capture, exposure, mode, size, timer and zoom settings, among others. It takes photos and videos well outdoors, but not as well indoors most likely due to the fact that it does not have a flash.
