Verizon HTC Imagio review

You are currently on Verizon and have to change your phone but can’t wait until the HTC HD2 is released in the US? Well check out the HTC Imagio review posted by Pocketow. Sure it ain’t no HD2 (keep in mind that it probably won’t be available in NA before 6 months) but it’s currelty one of the best Windows Mobile 6.5 phone out (especialy if you take the time to tweak it a little bit) and the only smartphone that support Verizon’s VCast Mobile TV with the Qualcomm FLO TV technology.

The HTC Imagio, for those who prefer the thin, tablet form factor of this Windows phone, offers exceptional value in both hardware and software. On the hardware front, you have a proximity sensor, light sensor, accelerometer, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, CDMA/EVDO radios, GSM/HSPA radios for global roaming, mobile TV antenna, and one of the best resistive touchscreens that I have used. On the software side, the improvements brought by Microsoft in Windows Mobile 6.5 combined with HTC’s TouchFLO 3D optimizations make this a truly customizable, finger-friendly, and useable devices. Power users will be able to enjoy Windows Mobile’s high degree of extensibility while novice users will appreciate the glamor that TouchFLO 3D offers. The only weakness is that add-ons such as visual voicemail, mobile TV, and VZ Navigator, all require additional subscription services. However, the winning, solidly built hardware coupled with the great software and UI customizations earn this device a Chuong’s Pick Editor’s Choice title.
