HTC Cavalier First Impressions

by Jayvee on February 25th, 2007

Had a chance to play with the Cavalier over the weekend. Thought it is set to run Windows Mobile 6, the device was still running Windows Mobile 5 and had its beta firmware - meaning no access to Blackberry push email. Here are some first impressions with the device.

  • It reminds me of the Samsung Q with its sleek black exterior and ultra thin form factor
  • The screen is not concaved which is a good thing because it makes the device feel more protected with a layer of clear plastic over it
  • The browsing experience on Internet Explorer doesn’t feel constrained — HSDPA connect makes surfing a lot faster
  • 2.0 megapixel camera is of good quality - thank god for this improvement for cameraphones on Windows Mobile devices
  • Hardware buttons are wonderful and they beat the Blackberry’s “shared buttons” design. Each character has its own dedicated button

I’m not allowed to post pictures I took in respect for the confidentiality of the person who showed me a demo of the unit. So instead I’ll be posting a shot taken from The Unwired.net.
