HTC Schubert

2011-01-25T23:34:00.001-08:00

Under the well-known surname of the Austrian composer the new HTC terminal appears, or this way it is as unofficially it is named. HTC Schubert will be one of the first mobile phones with Windows Phone 7 of the market, or this is what they claim.

As for the design, Schubert is the expected from the Taiwanese mark, looking alike with big similarity to other models as Desire or enclosed Nexus One. It is a design that the public likes very much, and in HTC they will have thought why to change it. It works, since forward. The principal and showiest change centers on the button Windows, of course one of the requisites that Microsoft imposes on the manufacturers to be able to use the new Phone 7 in his phones and that it comes accompanied from another two buttons also placed in the low part of the terminal.
