HTC Snap (Sprint)

 

The Snap gives corporate types a thin, fast handset that easily hooks into Microsoft's ecosystem, but it's not much of a standout otherwise.

Fast performance. Good voice quality. Slim.

Tired OS. No Wi-Fi. Lacks a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack.

There's no standard-size headphone jack; HTC includes a clumsy, bulky dongle in the box for wired headphone use. Music sounded clear and bright over a paired set of Motorola S9-HD stereo Bluetooth headphones, though it took two tries to get them to...

HTC Snap (Sprint) review: HTC Snap (Sprint)

 

HTC Snap (Sprint)

The HTC Snap for Sprint offers robust e-mail support, including HTC's Inner Circle feature for prioritizing messages. The Windows Mobile smartphone also has EV-DO Rev. A support, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 2-megapixel camera.

Sprint's version lacks Wi-Fi and dual-mode functionality. The smartphone has a plasticky feel, and the QWERTY keyboard is cramped.

The HTC Snap for Sprint offers snappy performance and good messaging features, but the smartphone's plastic build and lack of Wi-Fi don't justify the price.

HTC Snap Video Review

 

The HTC Snap is what you can call an affordable smartphone. TELUS has this on a promo now for $0.00 on a 3-year. The Snap runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 and weighs only 120 grams.

Video Tour: HTC Snap

 

HTC's Snap hits the Sprint network with a svelte outline, full QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel camera and 3G on board. This is a case where smaller is better.

At the top of list of improvements is Inner Circle, which quickly hides your less important emails, and shows you just the ones from people you consider most important -- whether that's your boss or your spouse is up to you

The HTC S522, the unlocked N. American version of this phone, will be released during the summer
