Windows phone 7 not your cup of tea? HTC has just announced the HTC Gratica, another Android 2.2 handset which will be available across Europe starting in November. The HTC Gratia should look a little familiar since it’s simply a European version of the HTC Aria which launched on At&t in the U.S. market a few months back. With a 600 MHz processor, 512MB ROM, 384MB RAM, 3.2-inch 320×480 LCD touch screen, and a 5 megapixel camera, the HTC gratia will certainly nestle in somewhere in-between the HTC Wildfile and the HTC Legend.
We are hoping that the HTC Gratia will be fully integrated into the new htcsense.com site, buts since there is no mention of it in the press release, we’ll simple have to wait and see how it plays out.
HTC LAUNCHES SLEEK AND COMPACT HTC GRATIA FOR EUROPEAN MARKETS
LONDON, UK – 18 October, 2010 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today announced the European launch of HTC Gratia, a rich and elegant addition to Android’s smartphone portfolio.
Combining style and functionality, the sleek and compact HTC Gratia features a seamless wrap-around soft-cover that eliminates hard edges and a five megapixel colour camera with auto focus. At just over four inches in length and weighing 4.06 ounces, it packs power thanks to Android 2.2 – the latest version of Android.
HTC Gratia also embodies the acclaimed HTC Sense™ experience, which places you at the centre, by making your phone work in a more personal and natural way, while providing unexpected features that put a smile on your face. It also offers you more ways to stay connected with Friend Stream – an application that brings all of your Facebook, Twitter and Flickr updates into a single, organized flow of updates – making keeping in touch with friends on social networks even easier.
“HTC’s mantra is to provide a unique mix of experience and choice to people using our phones,” said Florian Seiche, President of HTC Europe, Middle East and Africa. “HTC Gratia offers something completely different. Its compact size, beautiful design and power with Android 2.2, combined with its personalised experience through HTC Sense, is uniquely compelling. We can’t wait to bring HTC Gratia to our customers in Europe.”
Availability
The HTC Gratia will be available through mobile operators and retailers across major European markets from November 2010.
