Please beware when buying the Freestyle, free apps are not an option on it, this is not Android. The Freestyle has a micro-second of lag when being swiped or tapped, it is hardly perceptible and is not in any sense a deal breaker. Now for the phone book, it has a limited capacity of 2, entries or unlimited if you switch entries onto the phone memory, this does not apply to microSD cards though. So no 16GB worth of contacts.
Photo tagging, ringtone tagging video tagging and multiple field entries are all supported, however, there is no Google or any form of online syncing with contacts. The lack of contact sync proves this is not a smartphone. Social network integration comes in the form of Friend Stream, an HTC service that brings all the activities and updates from your friends on either Facebook or Twitter. First, it looks pretty good. It is rather small for thick fingered people, as such the chances of hitting the wrong buttons are very high.
Although the QWERTY can be used in either portrait or landscape mode, the fact that the Freestyle lacks an accelerometer believe it or not means you have to push a button to tell it to go to landscape mode.
The Freestyle lacks some features that most users would take for granted on a feature phone. So what was the point of having GSM on the Freestyle?
CDMA would have been much better. Local connectivity is another letdown, the phone has Bluetooth v2. Where can should I go for support, replacement or repairs?

The HTC Freestyle's screen size is 3. The phone runs on proprietary operating system firmware. There's no secondary front camera. HTC Freestyle Specs. Own this Phone? Head: 1. Suggest a correction. Its metal skin gives it a sturdy feel in the hand, and we appreciate the rounded corners and smooth sides.
The bottom and top patches on the phone's rear side are made of plastic, but they're covered in a comfortable soft touch material. HTC fans will notice that the Freestyle resembles many of the company's previous smartphones. It's smaller, of course, at 4. We had no trouble slipping it into a pocket or bag, and we're confident it could handle a few bumps and bruises.
Front and center is the 3. It's doesn't have the richest resolution x pixels , but it's more than satisfying for a midrange device. Graphics and photos looked fine, and there's plenty of space for navigation. To most users, that won't mean much, as the interface is user-friendly, even if it is a bit boring. The main menu has a standard icon-based design and the organization is straightforward.
In a few ways the interface resembles Android, which is something we wager that HTC was going for. You'll find seven home screens that you can program with widgets for the weather, your photo gallery, and messages. You can't drop app and feature shortcuts just anywhere, but one home screen has a grid of 12 shortcuts that you can program.
The list design of the secondary menus has an Android feel, and the Freestyle serves up shortcuts to the messaging app and phone book on the primary menu page. HTC also stocked the Freestyle with its Sense interface. As manufacturer skins go, it's our favorite since it's not too complicated visually and doesn't ask too much of the user Motoblur, for example, requires you to sign up for a separate account.
HTC also included its Friend Stream feature, which shows a steady flow of your friends' updates form social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter. You even get HTC's Leap feature, which allows you to see all seven home screens at once by pinching on the display with your fingers.
The touch screen is responsive, though there's a slight lag when opening some features. It's not a deal breaker, but it is noticeable. Below the display are three navigation controls: the Talk and End keys and a Back button. All the buttons are large and tactile.
There's also a very thin key above the Talk key that opens a secondary pop-up menu. It always freezes and says "Opps! A system error has occured. I can't get a new one until September! My god this horrible phone. At first, when I got the freestyle, it seemed perfect because no smartphone plan, which means you're not locked in for an extremely expensive data plan. I was completely satisfied with it at first, but then I met the problematic freestyle I never knew.
This phone was horrible. Here's a brief list of the problems I've been receiving. It would perform miserably slow in messaging, taking about 1 second to type each character. And when I tried to delete them all, I met the infamous "oops I finally reset it and it worked fine, but I lost everything. I met it about once every other day at the least before I reset the first time.
Then after around a month later, it started introducing me to new and even more irritating problems. This was extremely frustrating. And again, I reset. Then even more frustrating problems occurred. It now is extremely late responsive wise when you touch the screen, around 10 seconds late.
It has not start up. I had my numbers, my pictures, my music, my messages, and a movie of me and my girl riding a ride at an amusement park that I was gonna post on fb and YouTube to prove we did. And now I can't. Oh HTC Freestyle. This phone has since complicated my life. When I first got this phone it seemed great, because it had no data plan and looked like a smart phone. The reviews I seemed to read were fine, until a few months after I recieved it.
