"HTC Explorer is an easy-to-use smartphone that puts the customer in control, providing quick access to their most important content and information," said Jason Mackenzie, president of global sales and marketing, HTC Corporation.

Intuitive, easy to use lockscreen and homescreen

With HTC Explorer we’ve put what’s most important to you right at your fingertips. The lockscreen lets you access your contacts, mail, camera, and messages in one swipe even when your phone is locked. And to make things convenient for you, HTC Explorer offers an intuitive, clean homescreen design that focuses on the most frequently used features and notifies you when you’ve received an email or text message or have a calendar event.

Web browsing similar to your desktop computer

With HTC Explorer, you’ll enjoy web browsing that’s similar to your desktop computer. Websites are easy to find and easy to read. To make your viewing even easier, the HTC Explorer automatically adjusts the text on your screen so you won’t have to pan left and right to get all the news. Zoom in and dial a phone number on the web page in one easy step. And when you click on an address, a map opens up instantly for you to check out its location.

Putting YOU in control

HTC Explorer understands your desire to control costs and select the right data plan. After all, does anyone really know how much data it takes to open up their favorite website? HTC Explorer monitors your data usage and gives you a history of the last 3 months so you can find the best data plan and adjust your usage to stay within your budget.
