HTC has built a huge name for itself with its roster of Windows Mobile and Android phones. They're not beyond looking at expanding their roster with handsets running other platforms, though. Here's the latest: the BREW-powered HTC Freestyle.
First introduced last month at CES, the compact device takes on moderate specs and a simple design. As such, it's far from the kind of phone that will turn heads. However, the functional features and the solid aluminum body should make for a strong case among those with modest needs.
Details of the HTC Freestyle include a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 3.2 megapixel camera module, aGPS, stereo Bluetooth, 3G with HSPA, a 3.5mm headset jack, an FM tuner and microSD card expansion (up to 32GB). A 528 Mhz processor commands the action.
If the BREW experience isn't so much to your liking, you'll be glad to know that the handset comes with Sense UI on top of the native interface. While it isn't a full-fledged smartphone, it does fit in a full HTML browser, a whole slew of communication apps and AT&T's numerous multimedia services.
The HTC Freestyle will be available starting Sunday, priced at $99.99 after a new two-year agreement with AT&T and a $50 mail-in rebate.
