| The Tattoo has a well made design, the look is quite | | | | does seem quite responsive but not as responsive as |
| basic but that just means that it's sporting a proven | | | | the devices with capacitive touch screens. The screen |
| design that worked great in both the past and current | | | | does the job though, considering this is for HTC |
