HTC Tattoo™ for the masses

HTC Corporation has introduced the HTC Tattoo™, an Android-based phone that brings broad personalization to the masses. With its distinct design and ability to personalize all aspects of the phone, from its hardware to its applications and content, people are able to express themselves and create their own individual mobile experience.



The compact HTC Tattoo is the first Android handset by a major manufacturer to sport a QVGA resistive touchscreen display, instead of higher-res HVGA capacitive units we are used to seeing on those devices. According to the manufacturer the resistive technology is more suitable for a 2.8" display like the one of the Tattoo. Running on a 528 MHz Qualcomm CPU and coming with 256MB of RAM the handset does promise some nice performance on par with its more expensive siblings.




The highlight features of the HTC Tattoo include 3G with HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. There is also an FM radio, an accelerometer sensor and a digital compass onboard. A microSD card slot, a 3.5mm audio jack and a miniUSB port complete the specs sheet of the new handset.

Rumor has it that it will cost about 200 euro (300 US dollars)
