Taiwan-based mobile phone maker HTC Corporation recently announced that its newly unveiled HTC HD mini Windows Mobile 6.5-based device would arrive on the market in Singapore in early April. According to the company, the new device comes with about the same features as the already popular HTC HD2, and should offer a similar experience to users, especially since it also includes the HTC Sense solution.

“The demand for the HTC HD2 has exceeded our expectations, and the HTC HD mini fulfills a desire from some customers to bring the capabilities and experience of the HTC HD2 to a more compact design,” said Jack Tong, VP of HTC Asia. “The integration of HTC Sense and Windows Phone on HD mini and HD2 gives customers an additional choice for an advanced Windows Mobile phone that is sleek, well crafted and easy to use.”

The new HTC HD mini comes to the market with enhanced usability, while also delivering a unique and beautiful design, which continues under the battery cover with a bright yellow internal structure. The handset includes the company's HTC Sense solution, offering an enhanced experience, focused on putting people in the center, and based on three main principles: Make It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.

The new mobile phone sports the same people-centric approach as the HTC HD2, the company notes, adding that it comes with complete Outlook integration. This feature will enable users stay connected with friends and family no matter where they are, and it offers individual communication snapshots of conversations, no matter whether calls, texts, status updates or emails. Moreover, it includes HTC Peep, a Twitter application that enables users access the social networking site easily.

HTC HD mini includes capacitive touch for viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures with just a pinch of your fingers. Leveraging its 3G broadband connectivity, the HTC HD mini also offers personal Wi-Fi anywhere for your computer or other devices. The HD mini can also be further enhanced to reflect your needs and style by downloading a variety of applications from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile,” the company also notes.

The HTC HD mini is set to become available for purchase in Singapore in early April via all authorized resellers. It will sport a price tag of S$748, and will include a 2GB microSD card in the package.
