HTC’s HD mini is a HTC Sense-based Windows phone that is designed for people who want a smartphone with a compact design without losing key features, usability and style, claims the manufacturer.

It allows you to put in shortcuts to the most important people, web sites, or most used applications right on the home screen. Prioritise essentials by arranging the tabs of the key phone features to suit your needs.

Stay close to those you care about with all the ways to get in touch and all your past interactions neatly organised by people – not by applications. The device helps you stay close to the important friends and colleagues in your life by providing a single contact view that displays individual communication snapshots of your conversations regardless of whether it was a call, text, status update or email. The HTC HD mini continues the same focus on people-centric communication with complete Outlook integration.

You can go from email to a voice call in one touch, or get everyone from an email involved in a multi-party call with a couple of taps. Take the challenge out of jumping between a calendar appointment and phone when trying to join a conference bridge – now you’re guided with a big reminder button – so you can easily join in on the call.

Keep track of everyone’s real-time Twitter updates on HTC’s built-in client HTC Peep, which means you can dive into a conversation or share your own thoughts and pictures. You can also post your GPS location with a couple of taps.

Some design features of HTC HD mini are much better experienced than explained. For example, you can virtually feel the weather on the lifelike animated wallpaper that automatically reflects your location.

Experience a phone ringer that knows when it has been heard and when it should ring loudly for your attention. The ringer volume lowers when the G-sensor on your phone detects that the phone has been picked up. On the other hand, when the proximity sensors detect that the phone is in your pocket or a purse, the ringer volume scales up to ensure that you don’t miss an important call.

With a tap, your phone searches the web for the actual album art cover of a music album and replaces the placeholder image in your music library.

The HTC HD mini, with capacitive touch technology, is designed for pure finger touch control. Zoom in and out of web pages, word documents, PDFs, pictures, or emails with a pinch. Set up calendar appointments, reply to emails, and adjust your phone settings on the interface optimised for use with your fingers.

Bring the HTC HD mini with you on the road, and you’ll never have to hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot for your laptop. Your phone connects to superfast 3.5G cellular networks and becomes your personal wireless access point – anytime, anywhere. You can download a variety of applications from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile to further suit your own needs and style.
