5 out of 5 stars Great little Android phone for AT&T   September 8, 2010
William R. Johnston (Boston, MA, USA)
I was originally planning on getting an iPhone. I have a Mac, and use iTunes to organize my music and videos, so an iPhone seemed like a natural choice for me. However, the iPhone 4 started at $200, and the 3gs, while starting cheaper at $99 didn't seem worth it to me.

The Aria, while using the Android OS, has HTC's "Sense" user interface, which was a bit confusing at first (I didn't bother reading the quick start). Tts actually very easy once you know what to do. It consists of 7 screens that you switch between by side to side swipes of the finger. Each screen can have icons for Apps or widgets, such as weather, news, messages, and the such. The phone does come with a lot of AT&T apps, which can not be uninstalled, however the icons can be removed, which is better than older phones I've used. AT&T does not allow side-loading of Apps.

The phone came with a 2GB micro-SD card (which is a plus for me, since EVERYTHING I own uses SD cards). This means that the Aria is upgradable with regards to storage space, something the iPhone is not (though the iPhones do come with significantly more storage to start).

The Aria has a ExtUSB port at the bottom, which is HTC's proprietary connector for USB and audio, however, it is backwards compatible with standard micro-b USB cables. The phone came with one cord, as well as a wall charging block, which uses the cord. I had an iPod car charger that has a USB port, which means that I do not need to get an additional car charger, and the phone also charges directly from a computer's USB port (although it is much slower to charge this way than the wall charger). Additional micro USB cords are available online for very little money.

There's a program called doubleTwist that allows you to sync iTunes with any mobile device. Worked like a charm for me. doubleTwist also makes a player app (free for now) that I find better than the music app that came with the phone.

Additionally, they ALSO make an app that uses the camera to read barcodes, including QR codes that I'm seeing more and more.

I've found no lack of apps available for the phone, and I've actually found that Android Marketplace has TOO many offerings in some cases. Adding and installing free apps is quick and painless (I've yet to purchase any apps).

I'm not as impressed with the camera as I was expecting, or as I have been after playing with the iPhone 4's, but it's much better than the "camera" my 4 year old phone had. I've added two sample photos - low light indoor, and bright outdoor. These were taken with standard settings. I have a Canon S5 and Elaine has a superzoom Panasonic point and shoot, and I wasn't looking for a camera to replace either of these; the Aria's camera will be good enough for those times I'm out and want to take a picture of something and don't have another "real" camera.

The phone syncs with my google account (I'm not using a GMAIL address, so I can't really speak for how it works with that. My personal mail works fine with IMAP however.) This is a benefit when entering in contacts - I type them into my google contact list with a full keyboard and sync it to the phone.

The phone's GPS works VERY well - I can't see myself buying another standalone GPS unit in the future since the phone works so well. It comes with both Google Navigation (free) and AT&T Maps (which is a monthly fee and I haven't used).

The phone has an FM radio, but requires the headphones to be used as an antenna.



4 out of 5 stars This is a Really Great Phone Overall   September 4, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got this phone in late July & I really like it. It's the first smartphone I've ever had so I don't really have anything to compare it to in that category, but I went with the Aria over the iPhone 4 & BlackBerry phones because it just seemed like the best option from my research. It's a great size, especially for people out there who carry their phone in their pocket & don't like bulky phones. I like that the case is easy to grip to prevent it from slipping out of your hand accidentally. As far as functionality, I really like its speed. The only drawback is that touchscreens can be overly sensitive at times & not sensitive enough other times. But, overall it does what I need it to do and more. The actual call reception is always really good for me. I haven't had any issues with dropped calls like some poor iPhone 4 users had when that phone first came out. I really like the voice dialing feature because it's really accurate, especially if you speak loudly & clearly. The camera takes really good quality pictures for a phone. You just have to pause for a few seconds after taking a photo because sometimes there's a slight delay in pushing the button to take a picture & hearing that photo capturing sound. My only real gripe is what has been mentioned before: battery life. Honestly, I charge my phone about every other day. But, how often you have to completely recharge the phone obviously depends on how much you use it & what you use it for. Like if you're a slight Facebook addict & checking in a few times a day from your phone, you might have to charge it more often like I have to at times. LOL. But, with a phone that does as much as this phone, more battery energy is required so the limited battery life isn't all that surprising & is to be expected. But, it is annoying sometimes. Once again, overall this is a great phone & I would definitely recommend it. =)


5 out of 5 stars Great upgrade from my iPhone 3G   September 1, 2010

I've had my Aria for a month and a half now, and coming from an iPhone 3G, it has in no way disappointed me. The Aria is more responsive, lighter, smaller, and has a crisper display than my old iPhone. My wife has a 3G also, and now every time I pick up her phone, I am immediately surprised by how much larger, heavier and less refined it is than my Aria.

The Aria runs Android, so it has mostly the same apps as an iPhone. I find the experience mostly the same as my old iPhone, except that in general the Aria is more responsive, especially the browser. There have been a few instances where I've missed the simplicity of the iPhone interface, but there have also been plenty of occasions where Android has surprised me with amazing features the iPhone doesn't have.

For being a "freephone" through the right channels, I find it hard to believe that anyone could be disappointed with an Aria. I highly recommend it, and would quickly buy it again given the chance (in fact, if my wife's contract was up, we would have bought one for her also!)

My wife has HTC Aria and I have iPhone 4. iPhone 4 and Aria do not compare, iPhone 4 is just so much better, better hardware, better response in most cases... I do like HTC Sense Android software and HTC Aria feels great in the hand. I think its a great phone for the price. I would not buy it for myself but my wife loves it! The call quality is very good, works great as a phone.
