The HTC Snap has been unveiled at the CTIA Wireless 2009 trade show in Las Vegas. The Snap is the latest QWERTY midrange smartphone and is clearly a BlackBerry competitor. It focuses on users who want to simplify their mobile e-mail, featuring a dedicated key to bring up e-mail from a preselected group of users. The phone has a fully exposed QWERTY keyboard, large domed keys and a jog ball. Users can remotely sync e-mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft's Exchange. The device has 192MB of RAM (expandable with an SDHC-capable MicroSD card slot). HTC claims the 1,500mAh Lilon battery offers up to 8 hours of talk time.
The Snap features HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth with A2DP, 2.4in QVGA display, perfunctory 2MP camera, microSDHC expansion slot and slightly low 256MB ROM, 192MB RAM. More interesting is that HTC has taken a leaf out of RIM's book and dropped the D pad for a trackball 'jog ball' but the usual caveat remains: a Windows Mobile 6.1 core underneath the company's admittedly nice TouchFLO overlay.
