HTC is one of the hottest smartphone manufacturers right now. What can I say — they’re on it. Pretty much every handset they release, even the mid to lower range handsets look nice to the eye, sit well in the hand, and offer plenty in the software to keep us entertained. HTC’s MWC event is tomorrow (or today if you’re in Barcelona for MWC) so it isn’t that far away. However, we being the impatient gadget aficionados that we are, never turn...
The Sony Xperia X10 is one big collection of hotness save for the abysmal fact that it’s going to ship with Android 1.6. Thankfully Sony has outlined plans to bring it up to snuff with 2.1.
