Is It Your Type? Body The Three S's Touch

Jun 18, 2010, 12:03 PM by Philip Berne

The HTC Aria is a slick little Android phone, easily the most pocketable of the bunch. Did it sacrifice too many features to keep its small stature? Find out in our in-depth review.

Is It Your Type?

The HTC Aria brings a small, elegant form to AT&T's nascent Android lineup. It's not a flagship like Verizon's Droid Incredible or Sprint's Evo 4G, both also HTC devices, but it's still a stylish phone with a great interface design. The right buyer won't mind its shortcomings, though power users might find it wanting.

ATT & Google Maps - need clarification

Within an ATT plan, does google maps with navigation truly work on this phone, or did ATT disable the google navigation feature due to competition with its' own paid version of ATT Navigation?
