The new HTC Mini
Sleek, stylish and designed for Windows Mobile, the new HTC mini is a mobile phone to rival the iPhone 4. While it’s true that the iPhone 4 reigns almost supreme at the top of the smartphone market and its market share looks almost insurmountable, the tide may just change, and HTC is well placed to ride that change.
But how does it stack up as a business mobile?
Well, that depends on how you see your business mobile’s needs. It has all of the important features that Windows Mobile carries, including seamless interface with Office – which is one of the key reasons Windows Mobile can possibly dominate the business market. As its Windows, it’s also an interface people recognise – which is important when trying out a new phone. It’s no business Blackberry because even the iPhone can’t compare to the Blackberry, it’s like comparing apples and oranges. What is important is that business mobiles need to be both agile and robust to handle business needs.
It’s also got fun features though – and has its own widget market (making it almost comparable in some ways to the ‘sidebar’ in some windows installs – possibly, again to add a layer of familiarity and differentiate from the iPhone for Business, which means it can work hard and play hard.
But how does it work as a phone?
Its strong key features are good – there’s little drop of signal, and the screen is crisp and gorgeous. It’s also a capacitive touch screen, but unlike the blackberry for business, it has no qwerty keyboard. It depends on your view of this as a drawback or bonus however.
Unlike the iPhone 4 it has expandable memory and like most phones on the market now it has a 5mp camera.
All in all, it’s a strong competitor in the new field of smartphones and could be the pretender King to the iPhone throne before long.
