Well, it\u2019s not a Windows Phone 7 Series<\/a> model, but today HTC took the wraps off a new Windows Mobile handset: the HD mini. <\/p>\n The HTC HD mini is a smaller version of the HD2<\/a> \u00dcberphone, which is coming to T-Mobile in the spring. The smaller form factor does come with compromises: the HD mini has a slower processor (600MHz v. the HD2\u2019s 1GHz) and a smaller 3.2-inch HVGA display. Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G wireless data connectivity, Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro with HTC Sense, 512MB of flash storage, 384MB of RAM, a 1200mAh Li-Ion battery, and a 3.5mm audio jack.<\/p>\n There was no official release date for the HD mini included in the press release, but you can expect the handset to hit the U.S. sometime after April.<\/p>\n You can read the full HTC press release after the jump.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n HTC HD <\/b>MINI<\/b> provides HTC HD2 <\/b>experience in compact design<\/b><\/p>\n BARCELONA, Mobile World Congress <\/b>\u2013 February 16, 2010 <\/b>\u2013 HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today introduced the HTC HD mini, an HTC Sense-based Windows Phone focused on delivering the popular experience of the HTC HD2 in a more compact design.<\/p>\n \u201cThe demand for the HTC HD2 has exceeded our expectations, and the HTC HD mini fulfills a desire from some customers to bring the capabilities and experience of the HTC HD2 to a more compact design,\u201d said Peter Chou, chief executive officer, HTC Corporation. \u201cThe integration of HTC Sense and Windows Phone on HD mini and HD2 gives customers an additional choice for an advanced Windows Mobile phone that is sleek, well crafted and easy to use.\u201d<\/p>\n The HTC HD mini sports a high degree of usability along with its own unique and beautiful design. Precision fasteners used to assemble the phone are externally visible, displaying a high level of craftsmanship rarely found in mobile phones. And the strong design ethos continues under the battery cover where a bright yellow internal structure, offers an unexpected surprise when the phone is opened. <\/p>\n The HTC HD mini utilises [sic] HTC Sense, a user experience focused on putting people at the center by making the phone work in a more simple and natural way. This experience revolves around three fundamental principles that were developed by observing and listening to how people live and communicate. These core tenets of Make It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected continue to be the key to the new HTC Sense experience. <\/p>\n Like the HTC HD2, the HTC HD mini continues the same focus on people-centric communication with complete Outlook integration as well as a smart view of your personal communication. HD mini helps you stay close to the important friends and colleagues in your life by providing a single contact view that displays individual communication snapshots of your conversations regardless of whether it was a call, text, status update or email. HTC\u2019s Windows-based Twitter application, HTC Peep, is also included. <\/p>\n HTC HD mini includes capacitive touch for viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft\u00ae Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a pinch of your fingers. HD mini also includes a variety of sensors including a proximity sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call. A light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display. Leveraging its 3G broadband connectivity, the HTC HD mini also offers personal Wi-Fi anywhere for your computer or other devices. The HD mini can also be further enhanced to reflect your needs and style by downloading a variety of applications from the Windows\u00ae Marketplace for Mobile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \nWell, it\u2019s not a Windows Phone 7 Series model, but today HTC took the wraps off a new Windows Mobile handset: the HD mini. \n
