HTC Aria review: The little tenor

27 August 2010
First we were hit by a Wildfire, now we’re being soothed by an Aria. The HTC Aria shares a lot of DNA with the HD mini, but makes the jump to Android and is ready to take on compact touchscreen midrangers. The HTC Aria goes against the current...

This phone is pro. I have only had it since January, and in that short time I would go with nothing else. HTC is a good quality brand that makes sure that everything they sell is top standard. Though I would say that the camera needs improving. The size is great, it loads really quickly and not once has it crashe, though I dropped it down a large flight of stairs, it didn't even get a scratch. But yeas, the back popped of (LOL)I would give this a 85/100 only downgraded coz of the camera-

      "Excellent 5 megapixel snapper" and then you say "The image quality of the HTC Aria is not that great... still way worse than the best 5 megapixel cameraphones we’ve seen"
      Huh???

                    This is a great phone indeed but I have trouble finding stores in the Philippines particularly in Manila, I have checked out the most of the stores listed in the HTC site but still no stocks for the new phones like HTC Aria and Desire. I haven't checked the last three stores that is in the listing of HTC's website still hoping to find the 2 phones I like :)

                    Do you have any idea if it had been already released in the Philippines and exactly where could I find it?

                                    Hi GSMArena Team, I have gone through hundreds of user reviews on HTC Aria and seems like this is a real good performer but was still waiting for GSMArena's review. Now after going through GSMArenas review I am really interested in buying it. Do you guys have any info when this mobile is going to be released in India?

                                      my last experience with and htc was horrible. used it for 1 week and its still sitting gathering dust. must be the components they use.

                                        this Aria is almost as fast as his big sister Desire. every ounce of Mhz muscle used effectively,,,,
                                        but no camera flash is big letdown for me.
                                        I own Hero and I love touch sensitive control, but I think I skip this one.
