**Introduction to the Phone's Input Methods**

While chatting with us, we'd like to show you the input methods available on this phone. The first method is the full QWERTY keyboard, which comes pre-installed on the device. This layout allows for a standard typing experience, similar to what you might be used to on a laptop or computer. If you prefer a more compact layout, you can tap on the arrow next to the keypad at the bottom of the screen to switch to either a compact QWERTY keyboard or a phone keypad, reminiscent of Blackberry devices. This gives users three input method options to choose from.

**Exploring the Phone's Input Methods**

To see these input methods in action, let's take a closer look. The full QWERTY layout is available at all times and can be used immediately without any additional setup. If you prefer this type of keyboard, it's easy to get accustomed to its layout. On the other hand, if you're more familiar with compact keyboards or phone keypads, switching between these modes is a breeze.

As an added feature, Windows users have access to various input methods that can be downloaded and installed on their device. This means that even if the pre-installed options don't meet your needs, there are plenty of alternatives available for download.

**The Phone's Internet Browsing**

Let's move on to our next topic: internet browsing. To access the browser, we'll tap on the "Internet" tab and launch the Opera browser. As expected, the browser automatically takes us to the HTC search page. We can then tap on the "Launch" button to bring up the normal web browser window.

**Navigating the Browser**

Once we've loaded a website, such as Google, we can begin exploring its features. The first thing that stands out is the smooth and quick loading process, thanks to the phone's internet connection.

As we scroll through the page, notice how it automatically resizes to give us full screen coverage of our 2.8-inch display. This feature is particularly useful when browsing on a smaller device like this smartphone.

For zooming, there's no pinch-to-zoom functionality or multi-touch capabilities. However, double-tapping allows for zooming in and out, providing an alternative way to adjust the text size.

**Testing the Browser's Zoom Features**

Let's put the browser's zoom features through their paces by performing a quick search on "dog." We'll see how well it loads the page and whether the zoom functionality works smoothly.

As we zoom in and then back out, notice that the text is compressed to fit within the screen. This feature may be useful when browsing certain websites or reading articles, as it prevents text from becoming too large for easy viewing on smaller screens.

**Exploring Multimedia Capabilities**

Next up, let's explore the phone's multimedia capabilities. We'll start with the picture viewer, where we can tap on any image to view its properties or send it to a contact. If there are multiple pictures in an album, they will be displayed in a single view, and we can navigate through them using this layout.

We can also access the camera settings by tapping on a photo, which allows us to adjust brightness, ISO, and other features before taking the picture.

**Testing the Camera**

To test the camera's quality, let's take a few photos of our surroundings. We'll tap the "Camera" button to bring up the camera interface, where we can adjust settings like brightness and ISO before snapping a photo.

The resulting image is not too bad, considering the phone's camera capabilities. Double-tapping allows us to zoom in for closer views, giving us more flexibility when capturing images.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, this smartphone offers a range of features that cater to different user preferences. From input methods like QWERTY and compact keyboards to its internet browsing capabilities, multimedia features, and camera functionality, there's something for everyone on this device. Whether you're looking for a standard typing experience or want to explore more compact keyboard options, the phone's input methods are flexible and easy to use.

While the phone lacks some advanced features like pinch-to-zoom, its zoom functionality using double-tapping is still useful. The multimedia capabilities, including picture viewing and camera settings, provide an enjoyable experience for users.

Overall, this smartphone offers a solid range of features that should meet the needs of most users.

start with the phone so you can either get to the phone by being on the home screen and tapping the phone shortcut or you can at any time press the green send key and that brings you to the phone as well regardless of what program you're in so that's kind of a convenient way to make a phone call now you have your regular numeric pad so you can dial a number but not like anyone really dials numbers anymore for most of the contacts in their phone you're going to usually call that person based on their name so they have what's called smart dialing in here which you can see little alpha characters underneath the numbers you can actually use those to dial someone so for instance that's called josh we just type j o and already now we're at josh and obviously got a lot of josh's in here you do a bunch of them but it does make dialing someone pretty quick so you could you know from being in any program you want let's go with mail for now all of a sudden you need to make a phone call click that j o and tap him done so it's great at making a phone call pretty quickly without too much effort which is nice other than that within the phone program you can get to the contacts and you can also click on the menu to see your call history send a text message to the person that's highlighted and set up some speed dial numbers that you just hold down the numbers to automatically call them okay next we get into contact management so if you go to the people screen you can then click on all people uh show you all of your contacts uh normally when you have enough contacts that it's able to scroll you'll have a little scroll bar here on the side if you hold on to it it'll show a letter of the alphabet and you can slide up and down to get to all the contacts that begin with that letter really quickly another thing you can do is you can tap in the top and start typing in someone's name and as soon as you know it it's a live search so as you do it as you type it will find all the people that begin with those letters so that's pretty quick too another thing uh we'll show you inside one of the contacts now all the ways you can get in contact with that contact uh will be listed here so whatever you have put in like a cell phone number a house number an email instant message screen name all of that will be able to be accessed directly from here and you can communicate with that person really quickly so for instance we click send a text message takes us directly to the compose a text message screen and we can immediately start talking it's kind of nice okay another little interesting feature inside the contact is you can tap on notes have fun notes there you go and write down little notes about the person to remind yourself of certain things etc so that's kind of nice you can also click edit to edit it okay and that's about it for the contacts here uh there are other ways to get to your contacts and to contact them in other ways throughout the phone so i'll show you that as we go through those sections okay so the other feature you're probably gonna use just about every day is messaging so we'll go through that really quickly scroll over to the messages tab and as i said before you can flick through all of your text messages here you can also click on them to show a threaded view of what you guys have said back and forth and you can also tap in here to reply to them you can click here as well to get to all messages in case you're looking for a specific one you don't want to flick through every single text message to get back to it easy to do here and these are also in conversation style so all of josh's text messages will be here all of greg's here all of lauren's mariella's and you can click through them and see the threaded view just like we showed you a second ago the next thing would be email so again you can flick through here to get through your emails like i showed you before but you can also tap on them to show the actual email itself the browser or the email client on here is full html so you will see the email basically the way you see it on your computer uh you'll notice images are missing here but that's because i have

you're limited to just this now another thing to notice there is no accelerometer in this phone again so you can't turn it sideways to make the qwerty uh go long ways which is what a lot of people like i'm sure there is a mod or a hack to get around that um or even just a program that you could probably install that would change that but as the phone comes out of the box you don't have that

a quick search for dog see how loads page pretty well but you'll notice when you zoom in come back out so i can show you again uh you'll see how the text is written when you zoom in it actually squashes the text that it fits in the screen so you don't have to sit there and do this every time you're trying to read a sentence which is great it's kind of a nice little feature there so other than that you're pretty much going to get the same internet experience you do on most smartphones nowadays so that's pretty much it for the pros next we have multimedia so i'll show you pictures uh
