HTC Tattoo on Android

There’s been a lot of chatter over the past month about the HTC Click (or now dubbed the HTC Tattoo. The HTC Click / Tattoo is a budget device, low end Android phone that’s been officially announced and will be releasing in Europe in early October. What’s amazing is that even though it’s not targeted for the high-end user (it’ll be offered free, after all) the Tattoo will still run HTC Sense.

The downside of the HTC Tattoo is it only sports a 2.8-inch QVGA (240×320) resistive touchscreen. We know the resistive touchscreen was used to keep costs down but it seems like it’s at the expense of user experience, it’s a tough pill to swallow. I think the average consumer probably won’t go for this but if people want to skimp on price when buying upgraded devices, maybe they will.

It comes with a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM, 3G, quad-band GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, compass and accelerometer.
