“The first decent Android phone for AT&T, the HTC Aria is a cute, usable, and fun little device.” – Sascha Segan
CNET News
“Though the smartphone design trend appears to be moving toward "bigger is better," the HTC Aria is representing for the little guys… While you might not get that ginormous screen that the EVO has, the Aria's petite size makes it easy to slip into a pants pocket and more comfortable to hold as phone.” –Bonnie Cha
Engadget
“In a world where it's practically guaranteed that the next great smartphone will also be the most humongous smartphone, it's actually a breath of fresh air to see someone going in the opposite direction. The Aria is as cute and nimble as it is sexy, a lovely combination that we weren't sure existed prior to writing this review.” –Darren Murph

“At the end of the day, the Aria is AT&T's best Android phone, without a doubt.” –Todd Haselton
MobileCrunch
“Like most HTC Android handsets these days, the Aria is running HTC’s custom UI, Sense, on top of Android 2.1. I’ve said it plenty of times before, but I’ll say it again for good measure: I love Sense. From a purely visual standpoint, it’s miles ahead of the default Android interface; toss in things like an improved touchscreen keyboard, fantastic HTC-built applications (like their Twitter app, Peep, and the custom-built media player), and (variably functional) Flash support in the browser, and it’s really just one of the best Android experiences you can have.” –Greg Kumparak

“The HTC Aria is one of the most compact smartphones I have seen from HTC since the days of the HTC Touch Diamond. I was sent an evaluation device to play with for a bit and the first thing that strikes you when you pull the Aria from the box is just how extremely compact it really is.” – Matthew Miller
