That’s what GSM Arena are saying here, in a very detailed review..
The main difference being the fact that this is HTC, therefore contains the HTC Sense skin on top of Android 2.1.
Also, DivX support and 720p video recording did not quite make it in this release as promised,but there are talks of them arriving in an update soon.
They explain the differences between the two (the buttons on the front, for example) and while some are better here than the Nexus, there are also some which disappoint.
Key features:
- Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
- 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA
- 3.7″ 16M-color capacitive AMOLED touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480x 800 pixel)
- Android OS v2.1 with kinetic scrolling and pinch zooming
- Slim profile and great build quality
- Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor
- 576 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM
- 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geotagging
- WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) video recording
@ 15fps - Wi-Fi and GPS with A-GPS
- microSD slot, bundled with a 4GB card
- Accelerometer and proximity sensor
- Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
- microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v2.1
- Optical trackpad which doubles as a button
- Smart dialing
Main disadvantages:
- Disappointing image and video quality
- Limited system storage available to the user (you get approx. 120 MB for apps)
- No DivX and XviD video playback
- No voice dialing
- No dedicated shutter key
- Non hot-swappable memory card
Remember though, that the Nexus is only available in certains countries at the moment, so this may be the next best thing if you are not in the lucky few areas.
