HTC Debuts New Smartphone, Snap

HTC has debuted its newest QWERTY smartphone, the HTC Snap.


With a slim, sleek profile designed to fit in the hand, the HTC Snap measures less than a half-inch thick (12 mm), and can deliver up to eight and a half hours of talk time with the standard 1500mAh battery. The full QWERTY keyboard is ergonomically designed with extra-large domed keys and responsive tactile feedback to make typing e-mail and text messages comfortable.

The Snap is equipped with 3G HSPA connectivity and HTC's innovative Inner Circle feature that allows HTC Snap users to press a dedicated Inner Circle key to bring e-mails from a preselected group of people to the top of their inbox.

"Recognizing that people are being overwhelmed by an avalanche of e-mail, the HTC Snap introduces Inner Circle, an HTC innovation that makes it easy for people to prioritize messages from the most important people in their lives at the press of a button," said John Wang, chief marketing officer at HTC. "The HTC Snap represents the latest step in HTC's mission to create a range of innovative smartphones, each with specific benefits designed to both surprise and delight our customers."

The HTC Snap runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 and will be available in select channels during the second quarter of 2009, rolling out in markets around the world throughout the second half of the year.

In addition, an unlocked version supporting HSDPA at 850/1900MHz for the U.S. market will be made available under the name HTC S522 during the summer.
