A recent review of the HTC 5800 by www.pdastreet.com, labeled the phone as the "Swiss Army Knife" of smartphones. The HTC 5800 featues a slide out qwerty keyboard, bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition. The 5800 offers an array of hardware-based capabilities, including the already mentioned Bluetooth, that have by now become almost obligatory in smartphones. The video-capable digital camera has a resolution of 2.0 megapixels. It has no built-in flash, however, as many phone cameras now do. And although the documentation says it has a zoom function, this feature did not work on the unit I tested. (No matter, digital zooming is pointless anyway.) Qwest is currently offering the 5800 under the name Qwest Fusion HTC 5800 for $200 – $200 off the regular price. Bell Canada is also offering the device and Verizon says they have plans for their own version of the HTC 5800 to be released some time in January of 2008. |
