HTC Tattoo Overview
The HTC Tattoo is the company's 4th Android Phone and 2nd running their custom build of Android called HTC Sense! With a 3.2MP camera, 3.5mm headset jack, MicroSD expansion slot and all the advantages of Android and Android Market, the HTC Tattoo is set to be a HUGE winner.
Did we mention it is FREE on 2-year contract (depending on carrier)? One of the first Android Phones to fall into the ultra-affordable category, the Tattoo could really be the device that takes Android to the mass market.

HTC Tattoo Reviews
Pocket-Lint.com With a 7/10, Pocket-Lint thinks the Tattoo is a pretty good phone for an entry level device. They suggest that if you have the extra money, the HTC Hero is a better bet, but if you're looking for affordability you'll be plenty happy with the Tattoo performance.
CNET Asia CNET the HTC Tattoo a "Very Good" 7.3 out of 10, noting that "If you want an affordable Android smartphone, the Tattoo will fit the bill. Power users should look elsewhere." A year ago there wasn't such a thing as an affordable smart phone!
MobileBurn.com Highlighting the affordability and customization on the outside and inside, MobileBurn give the HTC Tattoo a "Highly Recommended" rating: "The HTC Tattoo is a great little phone that is possibly the most customizable consumer handset ever made, thanks to its changeable covers and highly customizable UI."
Electricpig With 4 out of 5 stars, ElectricPig calls the Tattoo "The best budget smartphone we've ever tested." It appears the resistive touchscreen is the only thing Ben Sillis didn't really like but at a price of FREE... how can you complain?
PhoneArena These folks felt the concessions HTC made to keep the Tattoo affordable weren't worth the price. They admit it's, "a likeable, compact Android smartphone running the cool Sense interface," but insist you're better off forking over a few more bucks for a better Android.
