AT&T HTC Status Review

Online, August 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The HTC Status is designed especially for the Facebook fanatic with a dedicated Facebook button on the lower right corner of the phone. Even though most smart phones come with the Facebook app preloaded, this button gets you onto Facebook as well as assists in updating your account with incredible ease. The Facebook button makes your account accessible within a second and allows you to post pictures, your location, music and internet links with a simple press. When you're in the camera mode, you can use the button as the shutter release, posting a picture the second it's processed, and with a 5 megapixel camera, you'll know the picture will come out amazing. The button is also context aware, with a pulsating light that comes up when you're in any mode that has information you can post onto Facebook. For example, if you're in the multimedia player, the light will come up, reminding you to press it so everyone knows what you're listening to.

The Status comes with all the other smart phone features you'll need for your day-to-day operations - Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microUSB port, front facing camera, multimedia player, and GPS. The keyboard is amazing - the buttons are oval, slightly raised, and well-spaced. Typing a message, email or browsing the web will be easier than ever. The body of the phone is angled slightly, making it extraordinarily comfortable to hold in your hand and automatically placing your thumbs in a comfortable position while you're typing. The screen is 2.6 inches and one of the most responsive screens available. The default mode for the screen is landscape, making the most of the wide screen. On the screen is also a shortcut straight to Facebook chat. From a locked screen you can pull the key to either Phone, Mail, Camera or Messages, opening that program as soon as the phone is unlocked.

A case or protective cover will ensure that your phone looks like it did when you bought it. A protective cover offers less bulk but only protects the body of the phone, so for full protection adding a screen protector will ensure that nothing happens to any part of the phone. A case gives 360 degree protection and look fantastic in any situation. The Naztech Sport protects the phone no matter where you are or what you're doing. Whether you're on the slopes, riding the trail, running at the gym or jogging to the coffee shop, the HTC Status Silver Naztech Sport provides maximum protection for your HTC Status mobile phone, iPod, digital camera or MP3 player. Sport easily fastens to your belt and includes a washable neoprene strap that attaches to your arm a convenient lanyard strap to suspend from your neck or utilize the provided clip you can attach just about anywhere. The Silver Sport enables you to always look as good as you feel. HTC Status Silver Naztech Sport - On The Go.
