HTC P3300 Review - Display & Audio
Display & AudioDisplay The display on the P3300 is outstanding. The display goes very bright and has an excellent resolution. Even on the lowest brightness the screen seems too bright. The resolution of the display is 240 x 320 pixels. The screen displays 65,536 colors and is touch screen. It is always a good idea to get a good screen protector for touch screen phones because they tend to get scratched when using the stylus.
Audio
All the new HTC devices have excellent speakers which is a necessity for music lovers. The sound goes very high in volume and at the same time does not get distorted. The phone comes with Windows Media Player and works great for listening to music. If you want to watch movies or videos and do not want to be limited to file types, I suggest getting a program called TCPMP. The P3300 has stereo over Bluetooth built in and works seamlessly with Windows Media Player. You can also use TCPMP for stereo over Bluetooth but cannot change tracks with your headset (if your headset supports it). Since the Bluetooth is version 2.0, the sound quality is excellent and the range has also improved. You can get a 2GB micro SD card for expandable memory so you can store more then enough music. The phone also comes with stereo headphones which are excellent quality. The headphones have a built in microphone and a button to make/receive calls.
