HTC Aria

Another topline Android phone from HTC. This is the one of few topline Android phones available with subsidized price with a 2-year data plan from AT&T. It is released on 20th June, 2010 and already making big waves in the smartphone market. Measuring 4.1- x 2.3- x 0.46-inches and weighing 3.8 ounces with the 1,200mAh battery installed, the phone is very light and can be treated as mini phone.The Google NexusOne kind features of extra buttons/controls on the phone are becoming the standard. Aria is settling with a 600MHz MSM 7227 alongside 512MB of ROM and 384MB of RAM. It is not close to NexusOne 1GHz but fast enough in the current market to qualify it as the Mini smartphone.

It comes with Android Eclair (2.1) but sure will updated to the next one soon.
