HTC Pico Revives as Explorer

    Remember HTC Pico? That phone went below our radar, too, but HTC is trying to revive the handset with a makeover. The smartphone, now called HTC Explorer, features a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 384MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 5-megapixel camera, the new HTC Sense Zero interface, as well as a refreshed bar at the bottom that links the user to the app list and phone.

There are also rumors that the Explorer will be packed with a 600MHz processor that would enable the phone to juggle both HTC’s Sense interface and Gingerbread OS with ease. What seems to be definite about this smartphone is that it targets either the casual or budget-minded consumer.

The HTC Explorer is expected to be released this fall, probably for free on contract when purchased through a network carrier. It should arrive in black and blue color options.
