After a lot of unofficial leaks and rumours about the HTC Click, HTC have finally released an official press statement detailing a number of aspects about the HTC Click. Among them is the announcement that the HTC Click will officially be known as the HTC Tattoo. The affordable price along with the top – class design and the Android OS clearly justify the choice of name for the phone. It is to target the youth as well as the mass market.

A QVGA resistive toushcreen will be used in the HTC Tattoo, which is not something you see often in an Android phone. Rather, you would find a HVGA high resolution capacitive screen in an Android touchscreen phone. The reason for this, according to HTC, is that the resistive technology works better in conjunction with 2.8 inch screens, like that of the HTC Click.

The press release also states that the HTC Tattoo will be running on a 528 MHz Qualcomm CPU and will come attached with a RAM of 256 MB. These amazing specifications clearly show that the HTC Tattoo won’t disappoint when it comes to performance.

There are a number of mentionable features in the phone. Some of these include the 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 3.5 mm headset jack, miniUSB port, accelerometer sensor, FM radio, microSD slot, GPS, and an onboard digital compass. HTC Sense UI is what the HTC Tattoo will be running on.

Finally, the press release is rounded off with the release date of the HTC Tattoo, which is early October for UK and the rest of Europe. The rest of the world will see the HTC Tattoo in subsequent months. HTC Tattoo Reviews have stated that the price of the phone upon release will be 200 Euros (180 Pounds), though the press release didn’t make any mention of this.

Aside from their exceptional designs, HTC mobile phones have also always had the reputation of having one of the best software sets in the business. Testament to this fact is their almost exclusive partnership with Google to have the Android OS, one of the best mobile operating systems of today, on most of their mobile phones. And now, with the new HTC Hero, they have the latest version of this OS which promises to be even bigger and better. But the best part is, that’s not all she wrote for the HTC Hero in terms of excellent software.

Widget World

Along with an outstanding OS, the HTC Hero also has an array of wonderful widgets and applications that serve a multitude of purposes. For starters, HTC have created Peep, which is their own dedicated Twitter client. This app has a widget installed in the home screen which can provide real time tweet updates. When you open the full-on application itself, it’s definitely a lot of fun – comparable to that of the iPhone’s Tweetie.

Another neat app on the HTC Hero is one called Footprints. This application allows you to easily snap a picture and then automatically geo-tag where it was taken. It’s definitely a cool twist that works well with the Hero’s 5-megapixel snapper.

Flash This

Flash support has become one of the most important elements of recent Smartpones. While both the BlackBerry and the iPhone don’t have it, the HTC Hero is proud to say that it is able to support Flash-based files. However, based on initial testing, there is much room for improvement on the device as the web browser can’t seem to cope with sites that are more data intensive and heavy on Flash – it does tend to freeze up and loading times were quite appalling.
