Below the screen, when you expect a keyboard, you will be fooled and HTC surprises you with a speaker bar and integrated kickstand. Surround is clearly designed for multimedia enthusiasts and the phone has certainly lived up to the expectations.

The first look at HTC Surround won't mesmerize you as the phone shares the same design and features of its predecessors. The front of the phone is gray and the back is covered with black matte. The slider mechanism included in the phone makes it slightly bulky, but it is not as thick as sliding keyboard HTC phones. The front real estate is occupied by a huge 3.8\" LCD screen with a good resolution of 480 x 800. It is bright and vibrant. There is ample number of buttons along the spine of the phone and you will find these buttons to be utterly useful.

As you slide HTC Surround, you will find a speaker bar with a button that can be used to change surround modes. The kickstand is beautifully integrated, but it is not one of the most stable stands. HTC Surround runs on Windows Mobile 7 combined with Dolby audio to provide the most promised virtual surround effect. However, it seems that the phone could have performed better in this category. The phone speakers are comparatively tiny and the surround function needs some pretty strong hardware that is missing in HTC Surround.

HTC Surround has a very good 5 megapixel camera that shoots vibrant images. The quality of the images actually seems low when you pull the images out of the phone. The video player is pretty much basic and it is the audio player of Windows Mobile 7 that makes full utilization of the slide mechanism speaker bar.

Surround has a 16GB internal memory, but the absence of microSD card slot is very annoying. For a multimedia phone, it is mandatory tore provide memory expansion option. The Windows Mobile 7 operating system combined with internet connectivity options like 3G and Wi-Fi certainly renders web pages beautifully. "; include 'phone.php'; ?>
