Rocking: The HTC Ozone is the product that is accompanied by some of the most distinguished features like an e-mail and messaging-centric and also is including the EV-Do Rev. the latest features of GPS, Wi-Fi and also the GSM network connectivity is available in the phone.

Shocking: The controlling and the key pad functioning might not be the beat of HTC Ozone. The services of inner circle are also missing. The sound clarity is not at its best. So, we can definitely say that yes, there are some missings.

Innovative: The CDMA and GSM connectivity is the hottest feature of the device and also the Microsoft Windows Mobile is the vibrating feature of the device.

Our Verdict: The plastic body can be the drawback, but still seeing the price tag of the device, this can be the most happening and hot cake in this range.

HTC Ozone Smart Phone Overview

The HTC is one of the leading companies which are involved in the cellular business in the passionate way and the main motto of the products are to attract the mass and also to the people with a lower budget. In just $50, there are so many features available in the cell phone with the latest technology. The cell is very much similar to the latest introduced Sprint’s HTC Snap. There are the newly added feature of Wi-Fi and a CDMA/GSM support.

HTC Ozone Design

The design of Ozone is somewhere unique by the side angle. It’s a bit angular than other cell phones but does seem well and is of a great liking to the eyes. Ideally, it is said that while selecting the cell phone, the pocket and eyes should be the decisive factors. Pocket for the pricing and eyes for the distinctive design. Love at first sight rule can be applicable even in the cell phone buying. At least Ozone is one of the most lovable devices to the eyes.

Weight is also the plus point of the device as the phone seems to be heavier but when you hold it, it’s a paper light weighted. The total weight of the cell is 3.7 ounces only. The dimension of the cell is also dynamic as its 4.5 inches by 2.5 inches by 0.5 inch, which gives a perfect look to the cell. Everything in the cell is in order. There are some different features with the colour combinations as there us a plain black colour in the very front part of the cell and the back is designed with the grey colour to make a fascinating contrast.

HTC Ozone Darling Display

The display is also among the specialties of the cell. It’s a 2.4-inch QVGA display which gives an awesome look from front. There are 65,000 colours added to the screen in the profile to make the view of the captured image and the display icons energetic and electrifying. Also for the clarity purpose, the 320×240 pixel resolution is added to the cell which is great for these range cell phones. These colours and pixel are the producers of fantastic sharp and larger pictures.

HTC Ozone Mesmerizing Menu

The most simple and easier menu system is the divine part of HTC Ozone. There are some buttons and navigational keys which are quite easier and simpler. Controlling of the menu can not be said as the best as there are some loop holes in the system. There are the same buttons as the buttons of every wireless phones as you’ll find a toggle in the centre part. Other buttons include the OK button, two functional leys for the purpose of Home shortcut, and a back button. There are also the Talk and End/power buttons which are placed in the side of the cell. There s a voice recorder button on the left side of the cell. The Menu is almost the perfect for the users and if you are the new users, you’ll be mesmerized by the features.

HTC Ozone Smart Phone Classy Keyboard

Keyboard also can be said as the heart of the cell as all the text work and dialling work which are the most important jobs, are done with the help of the key board. So, key board needs to be the most efficient and easier to handle. The key board of the Ozone is a straighter one, compared to others. There is a little space between the keys which makes the writing job slightly difficult but only if you are a heavy writer. There could be a better version than this for the keyboards but even this is also convincing.

The space bar of the keyboard is marginally off-centre but still it’s manageable. The space bar itself is a shortcut to the communication applications and it connects to some of the brighter feature of the applications like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. There are also some of the short cuts in the keyboard and also there is a mute mode for making the device silent. There are keys for the vibration mode and also for the other functions like the speaker and volume control.

HTC Ozone Shocking Features

Besides these rocking features, there are some of the shocking and thrashing features also. The volume button which is at the right spine is of lesser use as there is no volume clarity as it should have. There is neither the headphone nor its jack. The jack of the headphone is actually required for many of the purposes. Also there is some problem with the camera clarity. The clarity is lacking the clear view and that gives a very dull view of the pictures. The micro SD card slot is located behind the battery and henceforth gives a frustration while removing the card.

Summary

There are some very good functions in the device and some bad as well but overall, it can be said that the best part of the device is the price tag!! It’s a great deal to get so many features in such a minimum price and therefore it should be the best choice for the lower budget people and also for those who have the minimum use of the cell. Otherwise, it’s a good cell.
