HTC Golf scores a hole in one as entry-level Android 4.0 model

We could make many jokes about the HTC Golf. For example, we could say that the phone is under par or over par or par for the course. But the Golf name on the phone is just a code name to be replaced with a permanent title later, so we won't waste the effort. Accepting that for now the model is the HTC Golf, this is an entry-level model that will come to market with Android 4.0 out of the box. The image accompanying this story is a test shot taken with the 3MP camera on the device and doesn't really tell us anything.

The HTC Golf features a 3.5 inch HVGA display, a single-core processor under 1GHz and 512MB of RAM. 4GB of native storage is on board which can be expanded using the microSD slot. The model offers 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, fairly pedestrian by today's standards. While there is no precise launch date, HTC is aiming to have the phone released late in the second quarter in a variety of colors. No, this is not being aimed at the power user as the HTC One X takes care of that. This model sounds like it is for the first time smartphone user or the typical texting teenager.
