HTC Mini BL R120 Bluetooth Media Handset - Retail Packaging - Silver

Wish it was in color and gets more updates

Ehhh... needs improvement... more so in the raising of the volume level as well as a brighter LED for the pointer feature

I have some mixed feelings about this device--but Ill start with the positives. The build quality is top-notch. While I would love to have seen aluminum on the rear cover, its necessary to have platic for the radio antennas. The OLED screen is great--crisp and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. Call quality is excellent, and the vibration is surprisingly strong--almost on par with my HTC One (M7). The battery life is good, but could be better if the device implemented Bluetooth 4.0 Low-Energy instead of the Bluetooth 2.1 protocol--though that would eliminate the devices ability to carry voice. The camera, media, and presentation remotes all work perfectly. Its quite nice being able to cue up photos remotely, the media control function performs as expected, and the computer-connected presentation remote works as expected--the laser pointer is a nice touch. Finally, being able to find my phone from the device (or find my Mini+ from my phone) is an appreciated feature. In terms of functionality, its almost-but-not-quite there. I personally use Google Hangouts for my text messaging, and the device doesnt work quite as well with that. It would also be nice if I could read (or see more) of my notifications. However, it is only possible to see a brief description of them, and they can only be cleared as a group--not individually. I do not mind that the time is only shown in 24-hour mode, though having an option to show it in 12-hour mode to match watch is commonly shown on the taskbar of a phone would be nice. Its a neat second-generation device, and I have high hopes for HTCs next generation of accessories, even if this form factor is put to pasture. However, for tablet-sized phones (a questionable product sector in its own right!), this is a very useful little device--enabling you to answer phone calls or see notifications without having to pull the device out of a bag.

easy to pair with NFC easy to use dont have to hold the phone, controls my tv and i see my messages and use for group photos with remote for camera

Good. Like the shape and style. Useful specially when you are charcing your handset. Sound quality could be higher then this.

My 4th one purchased.

but not really worth it

i liked it :)

Excellent

Volume is very low and I found that I had little use for this product in my daily life. If you are using this so that you can still talk while charging your phone, then I would suggest buying a portable battery charger...much more useful and less expensive
