HTC Freestyle is a budget-friendly quick messaging phone(QMP) running with Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile platform(Brew MP). The Freestyle is quite an impressive little phone for one that acts like — but isn’t a smartphone and really goes freestyle and does its own thing rather than going with a conventional smartphone operating system.
HTC Freestyle packed in aluminum and plastic and having 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with 329×480 pixels resolution. Though it is running on top of Brew MP, it is actually HTC’s Sense UI that obviously riffs on HTC’s Android efforts. it is also featuring 528 MHz Qualcomm processor, 3.2 Megapixels camera, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, micro-SD card slot for 32GB memory storage, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, FM tuner and 1300mAh battery.
