After the Touch Pro2 and Diamond2, HTC got its new Snap, non-touchscreen device and lacking of the playful and tricky features, however, targeting at the audiences who loves simple and neat. It offers a simple set of features: “inner circle” optimized for e-mail and messaging, as well as the trackball…Keep the things back to pure with no gimmick.

It’s comes with a battery, an AC adapter, a stereo headset, a USB cable, CD and User’s guide.

Snap with a slim, sleek designed to fit perfectly in the hand, as it measures 12mm thickness only. At the first glance, it reminds me of Blackberry Bold, but slightly thinner and smaller.

Snap got the same features as Blackberry Bold did-the trackball. Maybe that’s one of the reasons that Snap looks alike Bold. Since the trackball itself is the impressive performer that is great and responsive to every flick of the thumb.

The QWERTY keyboard which is using a four-row layout. The domed keys here are in right size and incredibly tactile. The typing speed is great as well. It is one of the best keyboards we have ever set a thumb on. Well ~can you see the MSN logo on the forth-row there? It is the quick connection button to your MSN account. The Inner circle button which is on the right brings the e-mails rise to the top for quick access with one touch. Actually, it’s very convenient and having streamlined communication here with Snap.

On the right, there’s the USB/ audio jack slot. Still lacking of 3.5mm jack!

The convenience key here which assigned by default to voice-commands.

The back panel is simply coating in rubberize material, so it's not slick and you feel confident that you're not going to drop it. The 2 megapixel camera lens also here, but please don’t set your hopes too high with it. It is the totally different things as of Touch Pro2 or Diamond2.

This time, you are able to install your microSD card by removing the back cover only. No need to take off the battery.

On the start screen here. Over simple and neat and nothing attractive. Some might argue we are just too picky here. And yes we are!

All the office works are organized with the familiar experience of Windows Mobile.

HTC Snap is simply stylish with light and portable size. Texting is faster and more comfortable than ever with the QWERTY keyboard with natural offset pattern and the shortcut keys make the communication faster and much more convenient. Sometime simple is the best! It’s worth a look when you are shopping for your next business handset.
