Android Masters HTC Target both Ends of the Market With the Smart & Legend.

HTC are poised for a pincer move on the smartphone market this year that looks like they will be topping charts at both the entry-level and topflight ends of the mobile market this season.

Thanks to a single piece aluminium body the HTC Legend is as sturdy as it is beautiful and thanks to a 600Mhz processor and 512MB RAM it can skip through multiple and simultaneous applications.

Navigation is via a slick optical trackpad and a gorgeous super-bright AMOLED 3.2” capacitive touchscreen, so flicking between contacts, web pages and your media-centre is a synch.

Design-wise the Legend is a natural progression from the HTC Hero, which after garnering awards from a host of tech blogs, magazines and taste-makers, proved to be last year’s runaway success.

Once again, in 2010 expect to see the Legend give the iPhone a run for Apple’s money.

HTC Legend Deals

It’s not just at the top-flight that HTC have aimed their sights though: identifying a slow uptake of data services at the entry-level end of the market, HTC decided to create a handset that brings all functionality of a smart phone to people on a budget, with precious little compromises on experience: HTC Smart.

The HTC Smart runs on a lightweight operating system – Brew MP, which optimizes data usage for the handset’s entry-level specs. So, while the Smart lacks smartphone hardware under the hood, it still has a few tricks up it’s sleeve that allow the user to experience the web on-the-go.

Both handsets use HTC’s brilliantly simple and intuitive Sense UI so your conversations, whether they take place online, over the phone or over SMS, are all threaded into one ‘Friend-feed’.

So, with both the HTC Legend and HTC Smart, it looks as if 2010 is the year the Taiwanese manufacturer really get into their stride… a stride that spans from the entry-level and right to the top-of-the-range of the mobile device market.

Sony Ericsson Refines Plans For 2010 with Vivaz and X10

It is safe to say that Sony Ericsson did not have a great 2009. Posting losses of 167 million euros in Q4 they bet the farm on five handsets, three of which had significant issues at their respective launches, with the XPERIA X2 not managing to reach market at all.

Needless to say, back to the drawing board does not even begin to cover it. The Japanese / Swedish manufacturer has however sprung into action this year with an aggressive attitude and a dynamic push towards genuinely innovative phones, instead of the cookie-cutter Cybershot and Walkman devices that clogged shelves and confused consumers alike.

With a rumoured £10 million ad spend for this quarter alone, they are making sure that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 are coming with a bang that the whole world will hear.

The Vivaz stands on the shoulders of the 12-megapixel snapper packing Satio, taking the Symbian software core and swapping the hook from the still to the moving image. The VIvaz has the ability to record video in high-definition, with the 8.1-megapixel lens still way ahead of the curve when it comes to taking regular photos.

On top of the autofocus camera (sporting image stabilization and face detection no less) the Vivaz is full specced-out as a smartphone. With assisted GPS, FM radio, Wi-Fi and a 3.2-inch touch display, the Vivaz is certainly able to hold its own in terms of features.

It is also a looker too, with a tapered body and a range of colours to attract the fashion-forward set. Expect Sony Ericsson Vivaz deals to appear in the tail end of February.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, however, is a phone of firsts throughout. The manufacturer’s initial attempt to bring Android to bear on a device, the X10 wields a heavily customized user interface, presenting a familiar feel in distinctly new threads. The X10 pools the cream of both on- and offline content, whether it be contacts, media or messages, presenting them in a visually arresting style dubbed ‘Timescape’ and ‘Mediascape’ respectively.

The former places recent social networking status updates, messages and alerts in a chronological ‘spline’, with a swipe enabling the user to cycle through and keep abreast of the latest events as they happen.

The intelligent search in Mediascape allows the XPERIA X10 to quietly surf the web and find album art, lyrics, YouTube videos and even suggest movies from the PlayNow Arena to purchase, all based on current media on the device.

Built on top of Google’s popular Android interface, the XPERIA X10 definitely has enough fresh ideas in the UI alone to turn heads, but the device is also a powerhouse with a 1GHz SnapDragon processor, huge 4-inch capacitive screen, 8-megpaixel autofocus camera and 16GB of memory.

Initial Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 deals are only of the SIM-only variety, but numerous pay monthly offers ought to appear soon after its official March / April launch.

With these two strong handsets, expect Sony Ericsson to pose a huge challenge to the smartphone set in 2010, as well as put to bed the demons of a tough past year. We, for one, look forward to it!
