HTC is known for bringing creative ideas to the table and presenting them in an excellent way, and that is where the Status comes in. With the HTC Status’s duo of the QWERTY-keyboard+touch screen, typing on an Android phone has never been easier. The company has incorporated a great full-size keyboard that has perfectly spaced keys to make typing a pleasant experience. The screen is a 2.6 Inch 480 x 320 TFT touchscreen. The design of this phone is pretty attractive as well and will appeal to anyone who loves to have phones with full-sized keyboards.

Running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it is not quite the latest OS on the market but it is the best you can get for a budget phone like this. It is heavily customized and includes a decent amount of integration with Facebook which’ll keep social media-fans pretty happy.

The HTC Status comes with two cameras: A rear 5 MP Autofocus Camera with LED Flash and a 1.3 MP front one.

It also boasts a 800 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM and is powered by a 1250 mAh battery. Not exactly a powerhouse, but you get what you have payed for.

This phone can be used with all the standard connectivity features like EDGE, GPRS, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
