HTC Paradise Design and Build

Design and Build

The HTC Paradise features a design that marries both touch and tactile inputs. It was designed with a physical QWERTY keyboard, which slides out from underneath the 3.2-inch display. This keyboard would have been a major selling point for users who valued the tactile feedback for typing, especially during a time when on-screen keyboards were still evolving. The device also incorporated an optical trackpad, a popular navigation feature before touchscreen technology became more advanced. While exact dimensions and weight aren't provided, we can infer from its time that it was likely somewhat hefty and thick to accommodate the keyboard.
