HTC Touch P4350 Smartphone

Review on HTC Touch P4350 Smartphone

The design is useful, the telephone has a good hand fit and the buttons have been placed on the right spot. The quality of the calls is fine as well as the reception. The HTC P4350's design won't set your heart racing. Its mostly black livery is offset by a bank of silver buttons sitting beneath the screen. The bulk of the front of the HTC P4350 is occupied by a 240x320-pixel screen measuring 71mm from corner to corner.

HTC has equipped the HTC Herald P4350 with the solution: sliding the telephone to open it, will give you an extended keyboard, small but useful. HTC P4350 smartphone is just 17mm thick and features a QWERTY keyboard which flicks out from the right hand side, and a nice brushed rubber feel casing. The slim and compact form factor hosts a large internal memory - 128Mb ROM and 64mb RAM, ensuring the handset delivers a full "office in your pocket" experience for business users on the go. The HTC P4350 has a 2 Megapixel inbuilt digital camera. When the digital camera is activated you can hold the HTC P4350 in your hand as you would do with a normal camera. In daylight, one can snap really nice-looking shots, but once you move to darker places or need to have a macro-shot, everything changes for worse. Although there's a power button on the top which powers up the device when it's in sleep mode, it also automatically turns on when you flip out the keyboard. These comprise Call and End keys, a button that calls up the Windows Mobile Phone Start menu, an OK button, two softmenu buttons and a navigation key with a central select button. All of these buttons are large and should not trouble even the stubby of finger.

The HTC P4350, which was designed especially for easy messaging, runs with a 200MHz application processor as well as Windows Mobile 5.0, which helps with its other features such as synchronization with Pocket MSN, Contacts, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, Internet browsing, as well as on other applications such as Microsoft Office's Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

If you’re looking for a connected handheld with a keyboard and you don’t need 3G data speeds, then it’s worth considering.
