So I finally got my hands on an HTC Snap cell phone to try out, and it was kind of a surprise to me.  Despite the fact that the thing LOOKED like a Blackberry, it actually offered a much better control scheme, as far as I was concerned.  But that wasn’t all it offered.

The HTC Snap comes with a Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor with Windows Mobile 6.1.  It has a hundred and ninety two megs of onboard memory, and a 2.4 inch LCD display.  It comes with a trackball and a full QWERTY keyboard, bluetooth connectivity, Wi-fi, a two megapixel camera, support for a variety of different audio and video formats, and a battery that offers a maximum of five hours of talk time on a single charge.

The HTC Snap’s trackball, much unlike the Blackberry’s, wasn’t overly sensitive and managed to easily select from item to item without spontaneously shooting from one side of the display to the other.  So when you couple together solid controls with a variety of features, you get a really impressive phone.

The Good

Great controls

A nice variety of features

The Bad

A little short on games

Score 9/10
