ATT Announces the HTC Aria, Its Second Android Phone
Posted in: Android, HTC, Smartphones, Today's Chili 
AT&T Wireless has just announced the HTC Aria, the second Android
phone to join the network’s lineup this year. The Aria is AT&T’s first
device to run Android OS 2.1 and the first to include the HTC Sense
UI.
Sense aims to streamline and enhance the mobile experience and
offers features such as the Friend Stream, which integrates Facebook,
Twitter, and Flickr updates into a single mobile social-networking
experience. AT&T is positioning the Aria as a petite powerhouse–it
measures just a bit more than 4 inches long and weighs just 4.05
ounces. A “soft touch” back cover eliminates sharp
edges and make the Aria comfortable to hold.
The device has a 3.2-inch HVGA, a capacitive touchscreen display, and a
5-megapixel camera, plus an optical joystick designed to make
navigation easier. The full suite of Google Android applications is
included, such as GMail, Google Maps, Google Navigation, and Google
Search, plus YouTube and the Android Market.
Other features include
HSPA for faster downloads and Wi-Fi wireless networking; customers will
also have free access to AT&T’s more than 20,000 WI-Fi
hotspots nationwide. The HTC Aria will be available on June 20th for
$129.99 after a $100 rebate with a new two-year agreement.
