For this Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, HTC seems to have taken some design cues from RIM, including a full QWERTY keyboard and trackball navigation. The HTC Snap's headline feature, however, is the new e-mail management function called Inner Circle: Users can bring e-mail from a preselected group to the top of their inbox by pressing a dedicated key on the Snap. This feature is useful for businesspeople who receive an overwhelming amount of e-mail daily, and it should help to prevent any missed high-priority messages and cut down on the time users spend searching through a full inbox.
The HTC Snap has 3G connectivity, a 2-megapixel camera with video capture, and a vendor-stated talk time of 8.5 hours. Measuring 4.6 by 2.4 by 0.5 inches, the HTC Snap is similar in size to the BlackBerry Curve 8900 on T-Mobile.
