HTC Aria Review at brighthand!
“The display on the HTC Aria is bright and vibrant, and even looks good outside. MobiTV looks great, with sharp images. I didn’t see any ghosting or pixelization issues during my testing, and I’m very pleased with the display overall.
It is significantly smaller than some of the other recent smartphones out there, so there is a some more scrolling involved in reading long emails or viewing web pages, but I didn’t find it to be annoying or frustrating. I did find myself using the device in landscape mode much of the time, but that could just be a personal preference — I prefer a widescreen view most of the time.
The Aria doesn’t have a physical keyboard. The virtual keyboard is well laid out, but it can be somewhat difficult to use since the screen on this device is relatively small.
I’ve found during my testing that the virtual keyboard works far better in landscape mode, which has the added bonus of allowing me to keep a better grip on the phone. I can use the keyboard in portrait mode, of course, and if I do I find that it is easier to use one thumb than to try and use two in “power texting” mode as I might on a larger device.” Read more here:
