\"HTC<\/a><\/p>\n

Last Thursday, we we’re invited to the HTC Showcase<\/a> in Midtown, Manhattan, where the mobile manufacturer introduced the first US smartphone with Beats By Dre audio integration: the HTC Rezound<\/a>. Shipping Ice Cream-ready, 4G-enabled, powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and bundled with Beats headphones, the Rezound<\/a> sports a spec sheet that to say the least, is music to our ears. <\/p>\n

After sitting with HTC Exec Jason Mackenzie and Beats By Dre COO Luke Wood for an exclusive interview<\/a>, to discuss the partnership and Rezound marketing strategy (which you can read here<\/a>), we got our hands-on with the device and chopped it up with industry experts Russell Holly of Geek.com and Zev Green of The RoadMap.TV to get their impressions on the mobile powerhouse. See what they had to say and take a look at our exclusive HTC Rezound Showcase gallery below.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a pretty obvious evolution of the Incredible line. The fact that it\u2019s Ice Cream-ready hails to the fact that HTC and Google have probably teamed up a little bit on this device in the hopes that this would be \u201cthe next\u201d of the Nexus line, and then Google went with Samsung. It\u2019s definitely an 8 out of 10. It\u2019s a solid device. Not really happy that it comes with 51 apps preloaded. And historically, the Sense operating system has lagged down over time. So it\u2019s nice and fast now, but I\u2019d be interested to see how it looks and feels in three months and exactly what that processor is gonna be able to do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“So it looks good. I\u2019m super psyched. No. 1: $299 for a phone that has some decent headphones, not some crappy nonsense\u2013they\u2019re really good headphones. Between the processing unit and the headphones themselves, I think it sells the phone for sure. An 8MP camera and 720p display with 1080p video, I think it\u2019s solid. Creative wise, the elements are there from Beats, I would say a solid 8 (out of 10) in the design. The red elements tweak it up a little bit from the Beats brand.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
