Some Reviews About HTC Aria*:
The good: The HTC Aria is compact, feature rich smartphone that runs on Android version 2.1 with HTC’s Sense user interface. It has a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, and supports Wi-Fi and 3G networks.
The bad: The Aria’s smaller display makes for a cramped onscreen keyboard. Its camera doesn’t have a flash and you can’t install non-Market apps.
The bottom line: The HTC Aria is a solid, midrange Android smartphone, but it’s a shame AT&T restricts it by blocking Android’s capability to install third-party apps.
