What HTC has done with the Smart is to produce a quite clever handset that is relatively low cost. It has a middle-of-the-road set of specifications but good looks, and that might be enough for those on a limited budget. But don't expect fully fledged...

The HTC Smart has a serious identity crisis going on so don't be fooled by the name: it's not a traditional smartphone as we know it. Though it's a 3G phone that uses the same 2.8-inch screen of the Android HTC Tattoo and boasts a respectable three meg...

If you've ever used a HTC Android phone like the HTC Hero or HTC Desire, you'll recognise the layout here: it uses the same HTC Sense software skin, so you'll be right at home. You can customise seven different homescreens, and check out what your friends are saying on Facebook and Twitter through one clever widget called FriendStream.You'll also recognise the quality build of the HTC Smart from...
Anyone doing that though will come away feeling short changed by the HTC Smart's name: while it's useful for staying in touch with friends (and checking out the weather via a handy widget if you can't be bothered to look up) on social networks, it's not very smart in most respects. The menu layout is occasionally confusing, and while it plays music from a microSD card, the tracks can start skippi...
The HTC Smart is a tempting option for anyone looking for a phone on Pay As You Go, and the opportunity for plenty of Facebook snacking on the go. But the lack of any instant messaging and extra apps will frustrate those same folks, as may the on-scree...

HTC's Smart is the Taiwanese company's cheapest handset yet. Designed around the cost-cutting Brew operating system it eschews such bells and whistles as Wi-Fi, GPS or an app store, but it still has quite a few things going for it. A new strain: HTC's...
