Construction and Conclusion

 
Editor Rating: 4.7

The HTC Universal is designed to perfection. The universal is one of the highest quality products around too. Although in my opinion it seems very durable, it does have a lot of crucial parts that if damaged the device may not work properly anymore. The only part that is extra fragile is the rotating screen. If turned the wrong way or dropped on a bad angle it could potentially break. Since the screen rotates 180 degrees, you have to be extra careful because it is only joined at one point. Therefore the quality of the phone is very high and very durable as long as you take care of the phone and refrain from dropping it!  

HTC Universal reverse openIn conclusion the HTC universal is one of the most powerful Pocket Pc’s on the market. The best part about this device is that it replaces your laptop, mp3 player, PDA and cellular phone into one compact device. Instead of having to carry numerous devices you can just carry this one compact device. Before I received this device I was thinking that it is very big in size and would be very heavy due to its capabilities. After seeing it for myself I have realized that it is just the perfect size and weight. In my opinion the only downside to this phone is its battery life. Depending on how much you use it and how much features you use on a daily basis all depends on how long it will last. If you watch a lot of videos or listen to music, play games, use wireless internet and make a lot of phone calls, your battery will not last too long. Keeping in mind that this device has a 520 MHz processor and a huge display it does need a lot of battery power.

The good news is that you can get an extended battery that doesn’t stick out from the back or a battery pack that uses the mini USB port. The Universal is capable of doing virtually everything you need on a daily basis and is the ultimate business tool. Although this phone is not targeted for young users due to its EXPENSIVE price tag, it does have all the features that attract young teens like: WI-FI, video calling, Music and video player, digital camera. In conclusion I would recommend this phone to anyone who is able to afford it, and needs the advanced features that it offers.
