HTC Smart utilizes the Sense UI and runs on the Brew platform. The functional interface features many skins, wallpapers, homescreens, and widgets including weather, internet, calendar, music and photos, among others. Tap on each gallery to open. The Friend Stream feature can be linked to popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and also offers status updates. One good function is the notification area on the top.

The phonebook is quite useful. The contacts can be imported from online networking sites like Facebook or Twitter. All updates can be received by the HTC Smart real-time. Each contact entry has all the details of that person, including contact numbers, emails, call history, etc. Of course, the Smart HTC has the basic phone functions of messaging like SMS, MMS and emails.

The music player offers nothing new. Tracks can be browsed via artists, albums, playlists, or with the 'List All' option.

The video player supports Mp4 and 3GP formats. Its key options are limited to Play/Pause only. The camcorder can record up to 15fps only of QVGA video. FM Radio with RDS has a tuning dial and allows only up to 6 stations to save.

Unfortunately, a 3mega-pixel camera is considered obsolete these days. Though, for the price of the HTC Smart, it's probably what matched the range. The web browser features the latest OBIGO in-house application. It supports Java sites.
