HTC Reveals Bold-esque Smartphone

So HTC‘s latest smartphone looks a bit like the Blackberry Bold, but that’s okay; RIM’s probably flattered by having some competition that isn’t copying the iPhone (although, HTC’s kind of done that as well). For specs, you’ve got the Windows Mobile OS running on a 528 MHz Qualcomm processor. There’s 192 MB of RAM — a bit better than the Bold’s 128 MB, at least — a 2.4-inch screen, a 2-megapixel camera, 3G HSPA and all the usual stuff, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a QWERTY keyboard. Asking price? Fat chance, they never talk about this stuff during reveals. It’ll be available in the second quarter, but here’s something nice: An unlocked version, dubbed the HTCS522, will arrive for U.S. consumers in the summer.

Make sure you take a look at the BlackBerry free apps that are available to download on the market place. There are many new free apps to keep you entertained on your new RIM device.
