HTC Tattoo

HTC Tattoo is the latest-generation mobile phone with a lot of great features. With this phone, you will be able to chat, write and send text messages, make tweets of 140 characters or less, and use all the widgets you want in a very accessible way in order to be connected to a wide range of online services.

HTC Tattoo is all about you. It’s the first phone that can be customized inside and out. Decide how your phone looks, then decide what you want to look at. Texts? Twitter? Your photos? When you’re done customizing HTC Tattoo, you’ll have a phone that speaks loudly about who you are and what you’re into.
Make it Mine
Your phone is by your side 24/7 and looks do matter. With HTC Tattoo, you don’t just pick the look, you make the look, by designing your own personal skin for the phone. Next, you decide what really matters to you on your phone. So if you’re into chatting, texting, and tweeting, you’ll put all your communication widgets and apps right on your front screen. If you’re into games, you’ll visit Android Market and download all the games you want. Put them right on the surface – ready to kill boredom whenever it tries to come out.

Stay Close
Do you have a friend like Jack? Jack – sends you 4 SMS/hour, 3 emails/day, updates his facebook status constantly and uploads pictures on Flickr that you just can’t miss. With HTC Tattoo staying on top of Jack’s and your other friends’ lives is dead easy. All you have to do is find a friendly face and your interactions are there, all in one place. So there is no more jumping from one app to another.

Discover the Unexpected
Sometimes there are no words to describe the cool surprises that happen in your life. Even basic functions like the dialer will make you smile on the HTC Tattoo. You can find a friend by dialing their phone number or simply by dialing their name.

If you’re into music, you’ll love the way you can organize all your tunes by album, artist or by playlists you create. And if you’re a photo fan, you’ll rave about the fact that your Album is not just the photos saved on your phone. It is also a gateway to online collections of you and your friends on Facebook or Flickr.

Finding needles in a haystack is no longer a problem with HTC Tattoo. The dedicated Search button sifts through tweets in Twitter?, locates friends in your contact list, finds emails in your inbox, searches through events in the calendar, and scours the web for info.

Mobiles o2 3G-Netz kurz durchgemessen

Da ich durch einen Tweet von @wmdev auf die Software 3G Test kam habe ich diese gleich mal schnell installiert und geguckt, was dabei rauskommt. Hier das Protokoll zur Netzqualität von o2:

Carrier Provider
  3G o2 – de
IPCONFIG
  Public IP:82.113.121.113
  Gateway:10.43.152.182
  DNS:193.189.244.206

Downlink Throughput

Singal Strength Level
  10/10

  No

  No

Interessant, dass dem Test nach Port 5060 geblockt wird. Dafür scheint Bittorrent kein Problem. Die HTTP-Latenz ist zudem mit 1,4 Sekunden selbst für UMTS schon arg hoch, beim Ping kann man hingegen nicht meckern.

Der Lauf wurde an einem Donnerstag Abend in Wolfsburg gegen 23:00h und mit einem Touch Diamond durchgeführt.

Este valor poderá ser reduzido em parte, em função dos subsídios da operadora.  A expectativa da TIM, que recebe os primeiros lotes de Galaxy esta semana, é oferecer os aparelhos para venda até o final deste mês. Já o Magic tem vendas previstas para o final de outubro.

Segundo a TIM, os dispositivos serão entregues com aplicativos de serviços da operadora já instalados, como TIM Studio, TIM Music Store e TIM Games
