HTC Typhoon Review

(SMT5600, SPV-C500, 8010) Score: 30.1 / 100

HTC Typhoon is a low end cellphone, having a 0.3 megapixels back facing camera. That's everything we have to say? No, it's just the introduction of this in-depth review.

Apparently HTC totally forgot about weight optimization, leaving it live with a weight of 3.53 oz. This phone is a little thick for today's standards, being as thick as 0.63 inches.

The HTC Typhoon has a poor 220 x 176 display, losing a lot of details in photos and movies.

This cellphone uses a SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone has only a 0.3 MP back facing camera.

This phone counts with a 1050 mAh small sized Li-Ion battery, which is quite low for a consuming phone like this. According to HTC, the HTC Typhoon has a reported talk time of 4 hs and a stand by time of 140 hours.
