HTC Smart is the most dumbed down phone they have made

HTC had a great 2009 and kicked off 2010 even better with the HTC-made Nexus One. They are known for their brilliant smartphone devices and that’s probably how they landed the Google deal. But now, it seems they are trying to appeal to the more budget-restrained market of consumers with the HTC Smart. And contrary to its name, it is HTC’s only non-smartphone.

It is running Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile platform which is beginning to become the industry standard for “dumbphones.” After seeing all the new smartphones that are being released, these upcoming specs seem pretty pathetic but oh well. It comes with 256MB’s of memory and storage, but the storage is expandable via a microSD card slot, a 3-megapixel camera, 3G plus EDGE, and the Sense-UI.

Unfortunatly, right now this is only slated for an Europe and Asia release so no luck on a budget HTC phone. But that doesn’t mean it will never come here. So you can always hope.
