AT&T HTC Aria Review

The HTC Aria is the first HTC Google Android device with AT&T.  The HTC Aria is now available at the AT&T stores. In the online store there is an extra $100 discount which brings the price down to $129.99 with a 2 year contract.

If you look at new line of HTC Google Android devices like the HTC Droid Incredible from Verizon, HTC Desire and the HTC Legend, you will come across the same user interface. “The HTC Sense“. The latest version allows you to have 7 home screens and adds pinch zoom on the home screen to navigate between the 7  different home screens and the pinch zoom will work in the picture application as well.

In the video below I will show you the device up close. In general all the HTC Google Android devices have the same user experience, however the smaller size of the HTC Aria with still a big screen estate makes the HTC Aria a very attractive device.
