HTC Snap review
The HTC Snap is the latest addition to the HTC stable of phones, and while it does not really break any new ground, it is a reliable and relatively inexpensive basic smartphone.
The HTC Snap is a messaging-focused phone, as evidenced by the inclusion of an excellent QWERTY keyboard (this is not a touchscreen phone). The keyboard sits below the 2.4-inch screen and a trackball, similar to what you’d find on a BlackBerry phone.
The most outstanding feature of the HTC Snap is Inner Circle, a feature that allows you to add your most-used or favourite contacts to a single list. When you receive emails from your Inner Circle they go straight to their own separate message list, so you can access them with the touch of a single key as needed. These emails also go to the main list of messages.
Some of HTC’s high-end phones have some very advanced features, but the Snap isn’t one of them. The feature set includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP profile), HSDPA radios and a GPS receiver. HTC has also equipped the Snap with Windows Mobile 6.1.
The HTC Snap is available exclusively in Australia on the Telstra network for the three months to November priced at $0 upfront on a $60 or higher phone plan.
