Sprint HTC Snap - Black
HTC Snap - Black Review
The ultimate Windows Smartphone!
The HTC Snap Smartphone (Sprint) is considered the ultimate Smartphone due to its many features and is based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. The HTC Snap Smartphone has a delicious combination of GPS and Bluetooth technology, which makes navigation and compatibility a snap!
The Good:
The HTC Snap is a thin and sleek device – also very comfortable to hold. The phone features a full QWERTY keyboard (the buttons are soft and rubbery) and even includes a secondary function to make the device both practical and easy to use.
Along with the easy to use keyboard, the HTC Snap also includes a D-Pad for easy navigation.
The processor built into the HTC Snap is a Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor that has a clock speed of 528 MHz, which is very fast in comparison to most Smartphones out there. This phone won’t eat your battery either.
The battery included with the HTC Snap is a 1500 mAh battery which usually holds its charge for approximately 2 days (if used normally).
GPS navigation was a feature the HTC Snap just had to have! The GPS navigation will keep you informed on your current position and can even be used to help plan a trip or route.
The camera built in to the HTC Snap is 2 megapixels and has been known to be the quickest camera ever used on a Windows Mobile Device.
The Bad:
This version of the HTC Snap offered by Sprint is limited in features and is essentially a downgraded version of what the original HTC Snap included.
Some features missing in this Smartphone that we would consider essential:
WIFI
3.5mm headphone jack.
Trackball
Other than the missing features listed above, the HTC Snap has people intrigued by its performance and compatibility.
Extras:
The HTC Snap includes a wide range of excellent software applications from Internet Explorer 6 to MS Voice Command to GPS software and Remote Desktop. The HTC Snap comes with more software than what we’ve listed, so you should definitely check it out!
Conclusion:
The HTC Snap is a well rounded device and is totally recommended. However, you might want to look into another cell phone provider as the SPRINT VERSION of the HTC Snap is missing the WIFI and Trackball capabilities – but otherwise a nifty device!
