The HTC p4300

The following technical HTC p4300 review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is in no way a hands-on review. It takes a close look at its strengths and weaknesses so that you make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Talk Time: 300 minutes of talk time. It is very good! (score: 20/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 200 hours. It is good enough! (score: 16/20)
  3. Memory Expansion Slot: It has a memory expansion slot MiniSD, a convenient way to store more music and pictures or transfer them from and to your laptop computer. (score: 10/10)
  4. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  5. Full Keyboard: It has a built-in small keyboard. It helps not only when typing emails but also when browsing the wireless Internet and adding new phone book contacts. (score: 7/7)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 5.64 ounces is a lot of weight. Whether you carry it in your pants pocket or a purse, you might find it heavy. (score: 0/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can only store phone book entries. If you have many business contact or friends, this may not be enough for you. (Find phones with more phone book entries) (score: 4/20)
  3. Wireless Data System: Not Bluetooth-enabled. (score: 0/7)
  4. Camera: The 1.3-Megapixel built-in camera is basic. Useful, but you won't win photography contests with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 70
