The Taiwanese company has had a history steeped in Windows Mobile or Windows Phone operating systems, as they're now known. HTC occasionally reminds us about this lineage, even though it normally customises its handset software almost beyond recognit...
Long, long battery life, the Inner Circle, a light, slim handset.

In late 2006 T-Mobile picked up the HTC S620 Windows Mobile non-touch screen phone, and named it T-Mobile Dash. It became one of the best selling Windows Mobile Standard smartphones in the US. Fast-forward three years and HTC now has the HTC Snap as t...
Slim smartphone with nice QWERTY, strong software bundle.
No WiFi. No trackball like the TMobile version.
We’ve waited a long time to see a follow-up device to the T-Mobile Dash, and the replacement doesn’t disappoint. This time around three U.S. carriers jumped on board. The HTC Snap offers Sprint customers the newest Windows Mobile non-touch scr...

The HTC Snap isn’t a revolutionary phone, it just does what it sets out to do very well. We really enjoyed using the HTC Snap for emailing and think the keypad is superb. HTC has succeeded in creating a real alternative to a Blackberry, and if you’re n...

The HTC Snap is a Windows phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard. It comes with all of the standard Windows Mobile applications, but it also has a few special HTC tweaks under the hood. It is currently being offered by Sprint, who is asking $150 with a...
In general I really like the HTC Snap, and if I were on the market for a new mobile phone it would be at the top of a fairly short list. It's simple, fast, and responsive, with easy to use controls and excellent battery life. It has the basic features...

Fast performance. Good voice quality. Slim.
Tired OS. No Wi-Fi. Lacks a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack.
The HTC Snap is a solid, capable Windows Mobile business device, but at $149, theres not much about it that will steer Sprint customers away from the cutting-edge Palm Pre or the upcoming BlackBerry Tour...

With their famous Touch series, HTC seem to have cut down on the production of less sophisticated devices, which are by far, not to be underestimated, especially when equipped with decent QWERTY keyboards. For an instance, the turned out to be a via...

As a whole, we are more pleased than displeased with the HTC Snap. Its keyboard is OK and even if not the best on the market, it does a good stroke of business. The device itself is suitable for being carried around in your pocket, its Windows Mobile o...

We had high hopes for the Snap. We thought it would be the killer messaging device that the Dash/Excalibur once was. And despite it having a terrific in-hand feel thanks to a very thin and light form factor, despite it having battery life better th...

When it comes to build quality HTC is second to none and the HTC Snap is no exception, I found that there were no gaps, loose components or anything else that proved to be lacking in terms of the strength of the device's build quality. Just hold the S...
The HTC Snap is a high powered smartphone that offers some nice new features for HTC such as the included trackball and Inner Circle Function. Despite a lousy camera offering and rather average audio output I would still recommend this device to any bu...

The HTC Snap for Alltel is a good substitute for those looking for a phone similar to the Blackberry. It is very affordable, and has a nice feature set and good design for those looking for a messaging phone that can also be used overseas.
