HTC Sense
HTC Sense is an experience designed around many little insightful ideas. Ideas that seem so simple, you think "why hasn’t any one else thought of that? It just makes sense." It’s a phone experience full of lots of little surprises, delighting you every time ....
… when it rings…
No more awkward moments
Ever fumbled with your phone because it went off at full-blast during a meeting? Well, don’t worry! Now as soon as you lift your phone up to see who’s calling, the ringer volume gets lower. Want it silenced completely? Just flip it over.
No more missed calls
It rings, you pick it up, end of story. But what if your phone is deep inside your bag or your pocket on a noisy street? Your phone’s got that covered. It recognizes when it is tucked away and rings loud enough to get your attention.
An icebreaker for your calls
Now when you look to see who’s calling, you get to see their latest social status updates. So you can say "Happy Birthday!", as soon as you answer the call. The conversation starts before you say hello!
… as you keep in touch with friends…
No more jumping between apps to keep up with friends
When you tap on a friend, you get all their details together - Facebook updates, their photos, emails, text messages and contact details. You don’t have to go in and out of different apps and you can see what your friends are up to before you contact them.
All their social status updates are in a single place
Say it once, post it everywhere
See all your friends’ latest Facebook© updates, Tweets and Flickr® photos on the same screen with Friend Stream. And when your mood changes or you find something interesting you just HAVE to tell people about, easily update all your social networks at the same time in a single step.
… whenever you use the Internet…
Zoom in a little - zoom in a lot - either way it’s a perfect fit
Zoom in to the size that’s right for you and we’ll make sure the text fits perfectly on your screen every time. Gone are the frustrating days of going left, to right, to down, to left, to right, to down...
More windows for more browsing
The beauty of web surfing is that one great article links you to five great articles. Now you can open those links in multiple windows and let them load in the background while you continue reading your current page. They’ll be ready and waiting for when you finally want to go to them.
… if you go for a drive…
Never miss a turn – because of a call
In the past, you couldn’t use the navigation on your mobile phone if you got an incoming call - the map would disappear and the call would take over, making your navigation useless. Now with HTC Sense, when a call comes in, you can still view the complete map, which stays on screen while a call bar gently slides its way into view. No more missed turns.
Satisfy your urge to peek ahead
Stopped at a red light? Is the curiosity killing you? Now you can take a virtual helicopter tour of the rest of your trip while you wait for the light to change, so you know what’s coming up ahead.
… when you want to be out and about…
Use maps that never keep you waiting
Online maps are great except when you’re watching little gray boxes load on your screen. Experience zero-wait when zipping and zooming around your maps. Now that the maps are loaded right on your phone, you don’t have to wait… and wait… and wait...
Never have to wonder which way to turn
Ever turn a map around, and around, and around, trying to figure out which way you are facing? With Locations - the map integrates with the compass so it always points you in the direction you need to go - instant orientation.
… for those times you travel far and wide…
Once you land, you’re up and running in seconds
Before you know it, your phone is on and you’re reading the most recent emails, shooting off responses and even peeking at the latest social status updates from your friends … while others are still looking at the start up screen.
Relax - the time and weather update automatically
When you arrive at a new destination, the clock automatically changes to the correct time zone, all your appointments are updated and the weather switches to the local forecast.
Have your personal Wi-Fi® hotspot
Never hunt for a Wi-Fi® hotspot for your laptop again when you’re on the road. Your HTC phone becomes a personal Internet connection for you and your travel partners - anytime, anywhere.
… and even when you lose it.
Sense gives you peace of mind
HTCSense.com gives you peace of mind when your phone is lost or stolen. Make it ring loud when you can’t find it - even if it is on silent. You can also check its location on the map, and then lock and wipe its sensitive data if it is gone for good.
