AT&T HTC Vivid Review

Online, December 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The HTC Vivid is the first cell phone on the AT&T 4G LTE network and is well prepared for the task at hand. The body of the phone is 5.07 by 2.64 by 0.44 inches and weighs 6.24 ounces, with the reinforced steel back adding to the weight. This phone will stand up to a busy day. The body of the phone is available in either white or black. The 4.5 inch qHD S-LCD display is indescribable. The 540x960 pixel resolution results in 245 ppi, which means fantastic graphics and deep colors. Lines are crisp and clean, which is important for texts, emails and web browsing. When it comes to web browsing, even in areas that do not have 4G LTE yet, the phone still runs on 4G HSPA+ speeds, which have been proven to be extremely fast and reliable. So download all the apps, movies, music and documents and get what you need in seconds.

The Vivid has Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and a Qualcomm APP8060 dual core 1.2GHz. HTC Sense UI is always considered one of the best user interface programs available. Customize and organize your phone with ease, change it around whenever you want, and find the home screen you need immediately. Besides the fact that the Vivid is AT&T's first 4G LTE phone, it also has an incredible 8-megapixel camera. Colors show up very realistic and detail is captured without any problem. Don't worry about blurry pictures anymore - HTC made sure the autofocus was one of the best. Apply one of twelve photo modes to switch it up a little. Capture a video with the 1080p HD video capture and rest assured it'll look fantastic when you show it later on your HD TV.

We recommend having a secure car mount to ensure safety is your number one priority while driving. Keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road when driving with this vibration free and rock solid German engineered iGRIP ROK kit. Your HTC Vivid Phone will be securely positioned in an upright and easy to view position while driving. No more looking for or holding your HTC Vivid device when navigating traffic! The HTC Vivid ROK kit includes a miniGripper universal phone Holder, a ROK suction Mount and a round disc for optional dashboard placement. The ROK Mount attaches in seconds to the windshield or to the dashboard/center console using the optional disc. This patented tubular design prevents most normal vibration from the vehicle to reach your device. The miniGripper Holder is adjustable and will fit virtually all phones.

We also recommend having a back-up power source and an external battery pack is an excellent choice. No more running out of power! Ideal for long flights, outdoor activities and serious road trips, the high capacity Naztech n301is a compact lithium polymer power source for charging your HTC Vivid USB input device. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet provides 1800 mAH of power - that is power up to 3 times the standard battery! What completes this device is the built-in flashlight to find your way around the dark and a convenient built in battery indicator that lets you know how much battery power is left. The HTC Vivid n301 battery pack can be recharged from any computer USB port or, when used with the optional Naztech n300, a standard wall power outlet in addition to any standard vehicle adapter. Great for business trips, vacations or long drives. Just simply connect and charge! You'll never be caught powerless again.
