HTC Qtek S310
If youre after a smart, easy-to-use and Internet-friendly smartphone, then look no further than the HTC S310.The HTC S310 is ideal for your everyday personal use and great for your day-to-day business needs. S310 Windows Mobile Smartphone is designed to appeal to those who want functions but not fancy features. As a Quad-band handset there is no denying its international capability, and it is small and light at 108 x 47 x 18.5mm and 106g. It is nicely designed too, in as far as it has large number buttons and a rubbery material used for much of the casing, so that it is easy to hold and to dial. With a 2-inch LCD display and stylish, compact design, the HTC S310 provides extensive features for work and play. Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Direct Push keeps you always up to date with your e-mails as well as contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks. Document viewers on the device allow you to read Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Wirelessly browse the Internet using Internet Explorer Mobile and the device’s GSM, GPRS or EDGE connection. The HTC S310 also keeps you entertained with music and video on the go. Phone has 176 x 220 pixel resolution display. There is, of course, a 1.3-megapixels camera.The Bluetooth version supports wireless stereo output, so you can send tunes to a suitably-equipped headset, which might be enough to entice you to consider using the S310 as a mobile music machine.If you do have plans in this direction, though, you are going to need to invest in a miniSD card immediately in order to carry your music around, as device has just 11.5MB.About half of the front fascia is occupied by the screen, with the remainder given over to two button banks. The bottom one is the numberpad and HTC has done a good job with this, making it as big as it can possibly be and shaping the keys so that they can be felt independently of each other. Above this is a large navigation pad which is slightly raised from its surroundings so that it is easy to locate and use. To its left and right are smaller buttons for accessing the Windows Mobile Smartphone softmenus, the Today screen and stepping back. The call and end keys are on the far outside edges. They are larger than you might expect, because they are built into the overall design. This is a simple but clever feature which makes them easy to find and hit. Side buttons are minimal with the left edge just housing a pair of volume control buttons. These double up so that on long presses they activate the Windows Mobile voice recorder and voice tag feature. This latter is Windows Mobiles effort at voice control. With it you start voice calls and emails or go to Web pages that are stored in the device Contacts software, and run applications, but you need to train it for each instance by creating a voice tag. On the right edge is another pair of buttons. One of these launches the camera and then captures images while the other has long and short press features. On a long press it acts as the power switch and with a short press it opens the QuickList. This is a feature of Windows Mobile Smartphone that lets you switch profiles and access the phones Comm Manager for controlling wireless communications.
