Like most HTC phones, they rarely choose to create an incremental update or small change to an existing phone.  Much like each and every product they offer, the HTC snap fills a specific niche in the market, in this case, the heavy texting, e-mail centric users.  While visually similar to a Blackberry, make no mistake, this mobile is all its own, with its own set of unique features and qualities that set it apart.  The full keyboard support is excellent, and should be considered by any one taking a look at new mobile phones currently available.

While raw processor performance is not the best on the Snap, this is simply not the main focus.  The handset is carefully designed, wide enough to support a full QWERTY keyboard yet incredibly thin as well.  While it’s not the thinnest smart phone on the market, with the full range of features such as GPS and Wi-Fi, the Snap is an impressive piece of technology.  As far as the keys go, they are quite large, while providing excellent tactile feedback.  They are very responsive to the touch, and allow for swift messaging and e-mailing.  Similar to the BlackBerry, the Snap supports Microsoft Exchange accounts as well as POP3, IMAP and Gmail accounts.

While this is clearly HTC’s response to the massively popular BlackBerry, HTC manages to do it in a unique way; with the same high quality displays HTC are known for.  It’s far from revolutionary, but it never claims to be, and is sure to exceed the expectations of previous BlackBerry users, and new smart phone buyers alike.
