Taking a trip through time with the HTC Imagio
9

A little more than a month before the Motorola DROID was launched on Verizon, kicking off Androidmania, the carrier introduced the HTC Imagio. Powered by Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, the HTC Imagio featured a 3.6-inch screen with a resolution of 480 x 800. The Qualcomm chip under the hood carried a single-core 528MHz CPU and the Adreno 130 GPU. 288MB of RAM was inside along with 512MB of native storage. A 5MP camera was on back, and a 1500mAh battery kept the lights on.
The Imagio featured Verizon's optional VCast television service. Unlike streaming video, the user was watching live television powered by Qualcomm's FLO TV service for an additional monthly charge. The Touch3D UI was necessary to help users navigate Windows Mobile, and Opera Mobile 9.5 gave users an opportunity to use one of the better mobile browsers available at the time. You might remember the two tone back and the kickstand that doubled as an antenna for the television service.
By the way, we gave the HTC Imagio 9.5 stars in our review, which you can read by clicking on this link.
