The HTC Star Trek is one of the most solid phones I have seen. The phone is a lot higher in quality than the Razr too. In my opinion, the Star Trek is very durable and will last a long time as long as you don’t drop it often!!

HTC Star TrekIn conclusion, the Star Trek is an exceptional phone with many features. The Best part about the Star Trek is that it has one of the best reception ever and is Quad-Band!! The best part is it’s size and looks, the phone looks like an ordinary phone but when opened you can see the Windows OS. Although the phone resembles the Razr, the Star Trek is light-years ahead in technology!! Here are some positives and negatives I found with the phone:

Positives: 

  •  Small size and futuristic looking 
  •  Stereo over Bluetooth profile is built in
  • Windows OS
  • Expandable memory 
  • Quad Band with the best reception I have seen

Negatives:

  • Expandable memory card is located under the sim card, which makes it hard to access
  • Low resolution screen
