HTC Snap 'aimed at BlackBerry users'

Posted: 22 July 2009

The new HTC Snap smartphone is aimed at the same people who have or want to own a BlackBerry, a new evaluation claims.

According to Trusted Reviews, the handset has a similar keyboard layout and screen to the BlackBerry Curve 8900, as well as a roller tracking ball.

It is comfortable to hold and "relatively lightweight", with a fairly bright display - although the 320 x 240 resolution is "nothing special".

Performance-wise, the HTC Snap is pretty speedy although the Windows Mobile Standard interface is "bog standard".

All in all, Trusted Reviews awarded the handset eight out of ten for design, seven for features, eight for value and eight overall.

The price is £240.99, the website stated.

Other mobile phones currently available from HTC include the Hero and Magic, which is powered by the Google Android operating system.

Features include Google Maps, Talk, Gmail, YouTube and "seamless email synchronisation".
