Testing the HTC ChaChaCha (II)

After a first part where we talked about the physical part of the terminal, we went to a second part that will value the software and user experience that gives us this peculiar HTC terminal.We started talking about the operating system. 2.3.3 Incorporate Android Gingerbread, one of the latest system updates from Google. This makes the terminal has a more current than most phones on the market with superior hardware. It also comes with HTC Sense 2.1 ‘messenger’, personalized edition of HTC Sense for this terminal. This version of Sense incorporates features of version 2.1 such as desktops, animations or customizations, and version 3.0, as is the lock screen with the famous ring and the widgets that come with it, which will show us if we have pending event, for example an SMS or email.

As for the preinstalled software and programs, all dependent on the HTC Sense. There are customized versions of the HTC Desktop for contacts, messages or email application. Of course it comes with the apps from Google, GTalk, GMail … In addition to Google Maps or Google to take advantage of GPS Navigation and never miss.

Special mention deserves the section on social networks. Speaking of a telephone to an end user focused active in the world of Internet 2.0, HTC turns to social networks and applications by thinking about them from the hardware too. The “Facebook button” that is allows us to be connected with the social network. Press the means to share with our contacts a photo, a state, a website, chat … For you to use Facebook as contact with your people, this phone has an incentive to have a unique function for this. Of course the integration with social networks do not end here, as a client for Twitter Peep is also included as all HTC. In addition, HTC will allow you to synchronize Sense and combine all your phonebook contacts, networking, emails, Google … So do not lose track of anyone.

By having a smaller screen than many of the HTC phones, the number of widgets available to add to your desktop is slightly different. The weather widget if you have animations, but that resolution and inch screen, is bitter and is not as impressive as an S with HTC Sense Desire 2.1.

For the rest of multimedia features, complete. We have already commented on GPS, but also FM radio and music player you will enjoy hours of songs on the go. The camera, as seen below, takes good pictures. The autofocus and the camera application of HTC Sense, let you take good photos. The video quality, while not bad, this phone does not record HD. He stays at 720 x 480 pixels. Apparently it is the processor speed (800MHz) and RAM (512) which is maybe something just to process the video quality.

Therefore speak of the user experience. The screen is rather small for mangling Android and navigate. Read it with a resolution so low is somewhat uncomfortable. But using messaging, emails and write with the physical keyboard is a joy. You can write to a very high rate and easily. The keyboard is quite handy and useful, though perhaps than enough arrows on the keyboard, giving more space to enter or space bar.

Battery life, and pretty. 1250mAh for such a small screen, noticeable. While you can not play much with the resolution, use it to talk on Gtalk for hours does not make you an over-consumption of energy and will lower the% battery dramatically.

Leave for a third party performance testing, but this time, we can not prove any games that require the terminal.
