Therefore users are able to store their entire digital music collection within their phone along with any other files they desire, be they video clips, documents or additional downloaded apps from the Android Market.
In order to carry out the phone calls and general messaging functions, the HTC Gratia relies on both EDGE and GPRS. In areas where 3G coverage is available, users are able to surf the Internet at speeds of up to 7.2 mega bytes per second thanks to an HSDPA connection which operates alongside HSUPA.

Geo-tagging is also included which operates thanks to GPS, and keeps track of where the camera was used. As an additional method of image capture, users can also shoot video using this camera.
Android 2.2 (Froyo) is the operating system of choice. This utilises the HTC Sense user interface which is highly customisable and allows users to assign up to 7 individual homescreens. Access to the Android Market allows users to browse thousands of apps from numerous categories which can be downloaded either for a fee or free of charge depending on the app. This means the sky’s the limit in terms of functionality and customisation.
