HTC Smart

This one's a budget feature phone rather than a smartphone in the modern sense. The 300 MHz processor and 256MB of RAM keep things basic, and there's no WiFi at all, so you're relying on HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps for data. Storage is tight too at 256MB ROM, though a microSD card up to 16GB helps stretch that. The 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen runs at 240 x 320 pixels, which was already modest by 2010 standards.

The rear camera is a 3.15MP shooter with LED flash, decent enough for casual snaps, but there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. Battery capacity sits at 1100mAh, matched to a light 108g body. You do get Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP for wireless audio and a stereo FM radio with RDS, plus a 3.5mm jack. HTC Smart price in Malaysia starts from RM589, and it comes only in Black. There's no GPS on board, so don't expect built-in navigation.
