HTC Snap, not a Blackberry
HTC Snap
At first glance the HTC Snap reminds me exactly of some of the Blackberry phones out there. It is just smaller than the size of an sized average hand, sports a tiny QWERTY keyboard and of course has the 2.4-inch TFT-LCD screen.
However, it is no Blackberry and actually does a great job at what it has set out to do. HTC are about to launch a series of business focues phones which include 2 updates to 2 already successful phones.
Let’s get to the phone. It runs the latest version of Windows Mobile (6.1 Standard) which according to HTC is simple enough for even first-time smart phone users to master yet advanced enough for experienced users to remotely synchronise e-mail, calender and contacts.
A new feature that HTC has introduced is called “Inner Circle”. As the phrase usually relates to the inner circle for friends or colleagues and generally means that these people are the most important, HTC have allowed the phone to make communication received from them more important than the rest. For example, if you hit the Inner Circle button, it will show you all emails and sms messages received from them allowing you to respond to information that is critical to you quickly and efficiently.
The phone also comes standard with what is now deemed to be necessary to compete in the smart phone market. The HTC Snap comes standard with GPS, Bluetooth® 2.0, Wi-Fi and of course 3G HSDPA capable connectivity.
With the advent of rich touch screen mobile phones with all the features the HTC Snap offers I am not sure on how successful the phone will be, but HTC have definately shown their dominance in the mobile market and are competing in every category.
