Pint-sized but advanced

The HTC One V has finally landed on American shores. This $129.99 model for U.S. Cellular has the same aluminum unibody construction and compact size as its global counterpart. The phone also sports a 3.7-inch LCD screen, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, plus HTC Sense 4.

That old familiar chin

If the cut of the HTC One V's jib looks familiar that because it's very similar to past HTC phones. Specifically, the One V has a chin reminiscent of the HTC Legend and older HTC Hero from a few years back.
