HTC Tattoo Review
The plastic chassis actually belies the somewhat pricey Tattoo, as does the modest sized screen and pixilated display. The hardware was the main drawback of this phone.
The HTC Tattoo kicks ass when it comes to usability, and also syncs everything from Outlook and Hotmail contacts to your Facebook friends.
The Sense interface is as efficient as ever, as is the email function. GPS was a bit hit and miss, and a lack of flash on the five-megapixel camera was noticeable in low light conditions.
The hardware on the HTC Tattoo may not be the best we’ve seen, but the software certainly makes up for this. It offers fast browsing, with a surprisingly accurate resistive touch-screen.
A battery life that offers 520 hours of standby time is more than acceptable.
Pros: Facebook and Google sync, excellent user interface, desktop-like browser
Cons: Slow GPS, mediocre camera, average build quality

HTC TattooI love this phone! Its easy to use without having to consult a manual all the time, it fits comfortably in my hand, you can change the covers with ease and the touch screen works perfectly. Im dissapointed about the camera as it doesnt take great pictures, but you cant have it all! On a whole I would give this phone 7/10
HTC TattooFirstly I would like to point out that I have only had this device for 2 days, but WOW! what a lovely bit of kit this is. Extremely easy to use once you get your head around the android OS, and fully customisable to your personal requirements. I mainly used to use my mobile for texting so when deciding which phone to buy this time I was a little worried how I would find a touch screen phone, especially after trying a few of my collegues mobiles with capacative screens as they seemed rather flighty and random as regards text imput. With this in mind I chose to go down the resistive screen route and chose this lovely HTC Tattoo, and how pleased am I, texting is a dream, the contacts list is intuitive, calling is simple, and connecting to the internet and wi-fi and absolute doddle. Email set up was just as easy as long as you have your POP settings from your provider and notifications come through instantly.
