HTC HD mini - first look
Mobile-review have posted a preview of the HTC HD mini. Here is their final impression.
It's pretty challenging to talk about the HD mini's future, as it's, if not a mixed bag, not something we've come to expect to see from HTC. Usually it's fairly easy to categorize HTC-branded phones by functionality or price. However in the case with the HTC HD mini, only one thing is clear - it definitely will be cheaper than the HD2, meaning that it's not a flagship solution, yet even spec-wise it's a tad less sophisticated than the Diamond 2. At the same time it boasts a more capable platform, new UI version and is more pocket-friendly.
The HTC HD mini is set to hit the shelves in April, and while there is no word on its pricing yet, I believe it'll retail for 600-800 USD without a contract. On balance, it's more or less in one league with the HTC Diamond 2, yet the HD mini is not looking to take its place, nor does it pose a threat to the HTC HD2, despite its codename being derived from the latter.
