HTC Velocity 4G

Telstra's first 4G phone is good, but not great. The 4G speeds shine through in speed tests, but fail to do so in everyday use. Its excellent camera is worth a second look, however.

Excellent 8-megapixel camera ; Bright, sharp display ; 4G is great when tethering your phone to a PC

HTC Velocity 4G

The new HTC Velocity is blisteringly fast and after a week in the USA attending the CES show where I was able to use the Samsung Illusion 4G phone running on the Verizon Network the only conclusion that one can draw is that the combination of the HTC...

If you want the fastest smartphone in Australia this is your device. It delivers what Telstra and HTC are promising. Under the bonnet it is fast and efficient

This is a leading edge phone when it comes to speed, a top dog model that should have been launched with Android 4.0 and a better screen. It's also a tad heavy which is why we have stripped points. For the heavy duty user this is ideal especially if...
