You Can Now Update Your HTC Velocity To Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich!
HTC Velocity 4G
The HTC Velocity 4G is Australia’s first 4G LTE smartphone. This means theoretical download speeds of 100Mbps and upload speeds up to 50Mbps in Telstra’s 1800MHz LTE or 4G coverage areas. Typical speeds are less, you can expect real world download speeds of between 2Mbps and 40Mbps. This is about five times faster than on 3G. Typical upload speeds between 1Mbps and 10Mbps, which is three times faster than upload speeds on 3G.
The Velocity’s 4.5 inch screen gives a great web browsing experience and the 1.5GHz dual-core CPU in the Velocity 4G is impressive and gives a snappy experience. The Velocity is an Android handset and HTC combines this with HTC’s Sense 3.5 user interface.
The Velocity 4G comes with Android 2.3.7, which is the latest iteration of Gingerbread. The much awaited Android 4.0 for the Velocity is now available if Ice Cream Sandwich is what you really desire.
