  • This phone isn't a normal chatter box, or whatsup box. This phone is totally a business phone equipped to handle windows 6.1 version, equivalent to windows 7..etc. Accept it. It is a mini PC and not a phone although it is capable to handle any feature of a phone.It is mini PC and nothing else.

  • you can clean with %100 alcohol, you can get it from any pharmacy, put 1-2 drops of it on the track- ball, then move it to different direction. use blow dryer gently until the alcohol evaporate, it should work. I tried before and it did work great, I also used with the buttons as well.

  • how can i make it android to do whatsapp

  • My problem with my HTC snap is I dnt knw wt happend 2 my camera because I can't find it on my folders

  • With care it is possible to open it up and remove the 4-roller assembly under the track ball. I haven't tried cleaning one yet (I have a couple of spare phones, one opened for spare parts) but I'm making a couple of assumptions: it should be possible to 'blow' any dust out of the roller and track ball assemblies, or maybe even use a light cleaning fluid, like meths plus, I would keep the roller orientation the same, in case left and right become something different.

  • it cool but when the trackball gets dirty its a big problem cleaning it and also i have a problem:the bottons will get too hard to push after some time!!1 does anyone know how to solve this problem???

  • Is ok fast browsing, durable, my problem nos 1 that htc snap can not access 2go why, and nos 2 where can i download applications and games on my htc snap phone thank you

  • highly sophisticated

  • how do i download an application for this phone pls?

  • the only problem with this phone is just the support from HTC, actually there is no good support from HTC, seems they through a product and left it as is.

  • This phone freezes. Don't go near it. I went for HTC name and suffered. It has no resale. In short a junk.

  • The trackball is replaceable if you wish to change it.

  • can you upgrade the operating system to windows 8?

  • pls how cao i subscribe this htc snap?

  • awsome phone very good

  • Read manual, its very simple. Or just enter email app, and start setup... :D

  • And what phone has good battery for internet videos? U cant compare, or say stuff like that. Do u use wifi or Gsm network, if u use gsm network do u u se GPRS, EDGE or 3G speed, ho many bas of signal??? On this phone battery is fantastic :)

  • i have had it for almost a year, didnt have any problems with phone or trackball. it all depends how and where u use it, if u use it in some dusty place, sure u will have problem...still, its very cheap part on ebay, and easy to replace. :)

  • Again, ask for operator settings, or for them to set it for you. This can be phone problem if its locked for some other network but than u couldnt be able to make phone calls either, so phone works, just ask setup for any windows phone.

  • U cant use mms and internet???? that is not problem with phone, its with ur operator. chek ur settings again or give it to someone to chek it. Its not about the phone, windows mobile is all the same on all phones, its about ur operator setup.

  • U cant download it coz they do not support windows mobile, READ on their website.

  • Yes u can, just ask ur operator for internet setup for any windows mobile phone, its the same, but most operators have automatic setups. First time i hear about this, read manual first.

  • i really like this phone but lately i can not access my maketplace.what must i do?

  • how do i download whatsapp on htc snap help...please

  • i do have htc snap but its internet it doesnt work well especially when i want to save an applications so plz help me to set it for internet

  • I regret myself why i bought this phone ,is giving me problems day and night , i cant send mms , i cant use Internet it so boring, out site is nice but inside is another story ,pls if u want to this phone ,u rather buy Nokia 5110 is better

  • Please, I really need to replace my HTC Snap S520's board. According to a Phone Engineer, that said so. What happened was that I charge the phone then put it off and some hours later when I tried to put it on, it was not coming up...Please help me, I need to fix this...thank.

  • i want to buy this htc snap but looks like every one is complaining about the trackball, does it spoil that easily so dat i dont buy it n if it should spoil how can i repair it. htc company should answer our question to help improve the wide spread usage of their phones.

  • At Melo68. Do you mean one should literally take out the trackball, what if when it has been removed it shall not be taken back? is this a conducive risk? what are the other method of removing it if that is the case? I'm in love with HTC product. One X here I am...

  • track ball problem - take it apart if you have the balls, its just dirt thats accumulating around the track ball. i had the same problems, now its working just fine

  • @ mosi92. you are right, I now can't use my snap for about 7 months due to immobile track ball. I'm hoping one day miraculously it will work but for now I'm stucked. it's a commendable phone but track ball it's a disappointing factor. HTC 4 LIFE

  • very good phone!! very reliable!!

  • i need an keypad 4my htc.,and its not taking sim card,.i need ur help.i really nid the 4ne 4 my job

  • my snap is not charching but itz only 5 months old....any ideas on wat could be the problem

  • if experiencing any problems that are not hardware related (software) this is a very good possible solution (trouble shooting). click the following: start/accessories/clear storage-then follow the instructions and type "1234" then click "yes". if this does not solve the problem/s then send your device in to be repaired because its faulty. NOTE: if you are only experiencing the problem with an app that did not come pre-installed (an app you downloaded) on the phone/device then delete that app, there's no use sending the device/phone in for repairs because the fault is with the app (error in coding) and not the phone/device. this guide is for HTC snap S521 or HTC snap S522 hope this may help some of you. :)

  • Try to search youtube, how to clean trackball on blackberry. There are several ways to clean it.

  • best phone in the price group....no second thoughts on that. It simply gives you the basics needed in a smart phone with a little extera. Its better than nokia E72 and bb curve 3G. Much better. Ill recommend this device any day....concidering its price group.

  • my trackball is no longer working for the past 3 weeks any suggestion.

  • hi..i have been using the same mobile for few days.. the problem is its battery life..i have to charge it daily despite a little use..i use it for IM and call.. could any body tell me what would be the problem also it takes great time to get charged..what is the sign of fully charged?

  • I have this phone for about 4 months, it works perfectly. First thing i'v done was to install official software update, on htc web site, to wm 6.5. Battery time is fantastic. But, i dont really like wm standard, there arent very much apps that work with this phone.

  • Good Toy and clear picture resoultion.

  • hello ! th track ball of my snap is horrible ! within the first few months it gave me tremendous problems.and as i am speaking, it does not scroll either up/down ! i have a horrible time surfing the net! wow!!!

  • Good phone, but after 1 year side volume button went down(

  • I had the same problems of auto off, get the software updated at lab 88, its free or any other HTC store. as for the browser...i know, its terrible, download opera mini and the browsing experience isn't so bad...actually its brilliant. as for the other problems, they will disappear with a software update. the newest ROM is: 2.04.421.1 make sure you have windows mobile 6.5 standard because its the newest software available for the snap.

  • Here in the Philippines the price of HTC Snap is P6,000 or $140.

  • pls i want the price of htc snappls

  • it is windows mobile mean better then nokia symbian u can do work like computer in this

  • what priz

  • u need a secondary camera for skype dahh

  • snap is really cool, but i have a problam, i can't get a free skype dawnload on my snap, do u know how can i install it? thanks

  • This phone is useless. I've had so many problems with it, it's crazy. One thing fixes itself then there's just another problem to deal with. It's slow, unreliable, turns itself off sometimes, takes forever to delete messages, won't let me permanently delete them to begin with (they reappear in the deleted items after I've apparently cleared the deleted items), and it's hard to scroll smoothly when using the internet. I wish I never got this phone, it's pretty but it's annoying.

  • Just go to setting-->communication-->turn off the bluetooth. it works

  • its a smart phone I ever have before,but why when you log in internet sometimes you receive a message that you are not able to log in internet while you have already configured it.lovely phone even by apearence

  • the headphone icon has appeared and I can't delete it, so can't hear any calls or voicemails. any advise welcome

  • I used this website alot when I had a Windows phone (Mogul) I'm anxiously awaiting my Snap.

  • this is the best youtube phone i have ever used. it even plays youtube videos better than my computer some times(speaking about lagging). no lagging. fast buffing ( set a 4 seconds) and fluent play back. (no in the middle of the video buffing messages where you have to wait). Note: the phone was running on a 3G network.

  • just keep roling the track ball it will eventully catch grip and work.

  • i love this phone but i have a problem with trackball its not working

  • shurly there must be somewhere else i can get apps other than market place?

  • hy..where do i get a new cover case for my phone here in kenya..please help

  • if anyone is experiencing any problems with the snap the first thing to do is use the clear storage option. to get there do the following; start, accessories, clear storage, type in "1234" and click yes. be sure to save your wanted data in the memory card.

  • HTC Snap vs Nokia E72 1 camera on snap is a little more clear but it has far superior colour. 2 if runs far better and faster. 3 HTC is far more reliable. my moms E72 constantly gives problems. 4 E72 has better battery life. 5 internet speed very good on Snap but not real so on Nokia. conclusion ? The Snap has about a 16 mhz bigger processor, same RAM and far easier to use. if deciding to go for any one of these phones definitely choose Snap. and if by any chance wondering about what is better between snap and BB curve/torch or bold running on BB 6 or 7 I would say that the operating system on a snap (windows 6.5 standard) is far superior making it the better phone I mean come on its made by Bill Gates, but still not as good as the computer version but what is ? . HTC really outdid them selves on this one. Snap is an excellent phone in general.

  • jguys i need to install mxit on my htc snap, does n1 assist mejus post it on plz with the details just post it on this platform

  • snap comes with windows mobile

  • HTC Snap is Windows Mobile 6.0/6.1 or the newest version 6.5 standard. Symbian is only used by Nokia you won't find it on any other phone but Nokia.

  • hi...IS hTC SNap is Symbian..???

  • where can you buy this phone??

  • Thanks, that helped a lot. so i fixed it. however i still can't send sms's (mms's work properly), this time there is no real reason; it says "message could not be sent" on the error area after a minute or two of trying to send it. i've contacted my network service provider about it and they set off call barring settings but it didn't work either. perhaps i need to change to another nwetwork.

  • Pls help to download Android.....

  • tryng to install the audio manager but i cant pliz help

  • htc phone it more good than bb 8520

  • Hi, i had the same problem and they told me my sim was to small and i had to get a bigger one only to find that this is not it, it all boils down to you having music or stuff saved on the phones memory which fill-upp the memory it utilise to cater for you messages, therefore you must transfer the music or stuff to your memory card to avoid this from happening.

  • did u fix it yet? tell me if u do and i think u should go to a programmer or perhaps the problem is in the sim card try reaching either a programmer or you sim card company office :)

  • hi guys i ve 13 months using this phone what i can say is that it is best better than bb 8520 and e71. you will never regret. htc sensation here i come. well done htc we need 16g onboard memory. like n8,e7,s2.

  • hey man, you just need to go to settings and in the setting Email part, choose, don't download any email more than a limited amount of data, like 30 kb, or more. There are many options you can choose over there. Then, you won't be ending by 10 Mb per day, which is pretty much. ... all the best man!

  • i have been using this phone for 9months awesome phone indeed.How do you download Skype?I just dont get it why HTC has diminished the price of SNap like this R1.999.i guess it is a cheap phone amidst htc phone,to my amazement it does differ much with other htc phones with features.dekko at wildfire difference is OS, htc SMART should be the cheapest of them all.It is not a child's play to carry htc phone the same like Iphone their standard is too high they deserve to cost a fortune.4G here i come although we dont have the elegible tower for it in MZANTSI.Android you RoCK.

  • If ur referring to the internet part,i use the opera mini which saves me a lot,it doesn't consume too much data as the windows browser even thought its more than a meg but its worth it.

  • You problem is because of the design of windows os , not the phone. I have Asus PDA with windows 6.1 and face the same problem. You need to go to network settings and configure it according to service provider and make the changes permanent. The default setting chooses the country's government provided network. its just a s/w error so configure it right and things should be fine

  • I was given this phone by my neighbor today. I'm actually a vodafone user and when I put my sim card in, it wouldn't allow me to send txts messages. I can make calls and I can also receive texts and calls, but I cannot send them. Does anyone know where I can find the message center?

  • I bought my phone roughly six months ago and I'm having a serious problem with memory cards. The 1st one which I bought didn't delete or add anything and I still had storage space left. And now, as soon as I move a song or picture from the phone's memory to the memory card, the whole thing is eithrs destroyed (scatches, mixed up,ect.) or it jus won't open. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

  • i bought it 6 month ago, this is a good phone with this Specifications & price for windows mobile lovers

  • Solution 1. Tap Start. 2. Tap Settings. 3. Tap Phone. 4. Tap the Network Tab. 5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down. 6. Tap Manual. 7. Tap Menu 7. Tap the desired network. 8. Tap Ok.

  • it was kinda too complicated for me. guess for a person who is in dealing mail and stuffs would be usefull . cheers

  • hey try swicthin your phone off, then press the naviwheel down but not too hard that it breaks then slowly scroll it down i had the same problem if it continues send it in for repairs

  • How can i send file with bluetooth ?

  • Takes a week or so of getting used to. After that, it does what it does fine. The Java engine feels tacked on and the browser... uhm. Install opera mini as soon as you can. E-mail on it is superb and simple to set up, be it gmail or exchange. What it does, it does well. It's brisk and businesslike, more serious than fun, no frills.

  • I love this phone, but I am facing many problems with it; such as, scrolling down the trackball. Sometime it would stop scrolling down, but left/right/and up are fine. If anyone of you know how to fix this, please do let me know. Thank You!

  • excellent set ..previously Msp Rm 1799 now Rm699,even better than my Treo 650/Treo Pro ..best keypad bought 2 unit at this price...excellent..

  • Awesome phone.. Love it.. do not hesitate to buy this..this snap will never let you down..

  • i had one for 4 days, and it just died next to my bed, unexplainable by me or the technician... then i had a replacement unit after i claimed to the distributor, then after a glorious 1st charge, it died again...so i've killed 2 units and still dont know what caused it... i dont think i'm going to buy more htc's phone after this...something is wrong with the power circuit i assume

  • Get rid of this crap ASAP. I kept getting that msg. every day, till I got fed-up, made some hue and cry with the service provider and they are taking it back for a full refund.

  • i've had this phone for nearly 3 months and have had endless problems...and still am. not very user friendly either!!!

  • i have been using this phone for only 1 week and already have problems .. can any one help ? this error message keeps poping up and its getting really annoying now.... "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network". any one having the same problem as me ? How do i get rid of this message ? the internet is is working fine so idk wats wrong ... i just wish the message would stop poping up...

  • Can I synchronise this phone with google or firefox calendar?

  • question on FF (users) -is it flash support ready? eg youtube -hows the image and video quality? -how long its battery life? -is it 3.5mmm jack? thanks!

  • hi , i think it does,t have 3.5mm jacks fore listen to musics , it ,s so odd. does n,t it?(i am not sure)

  • i know of the problem the blackberry have with the trackball, does the phone have the same problem?

  • can i download skype @ fb?

  • I bought my Snap in August 2009 and have to say that I have found it to be a great tool. It does everything that it should do and in a very easy to use way. It looks great and performs well. I wouldn't change for the world. Highly recommended, well worth the money.

  • Is it available in India? How much cost in India?

  • i am highly honored to use this phone,six months now without any problem.its a very nice phone i love the qwerty itself.Do not hesitate go and get it.htc 7 pro here are come but not trading in my snappy-nappy.htc 4 life

  • great phone, awesome, the best phone i ever have.

  • This is the best phone that I ever used. very solid and usable. specially for this price.

  • I must say its a brillant set. I work for an MNC & due to huge work pressures etc, this set keeps me updated & never lets me down. Good quality set & having nice features. I must recommend this phone for mature & sober age class. Its not something for teen agers.

  • Fabion thanks you are just helpful.

  • Directly to Nelly.you seem to have time to write a nonsensical and tedious message from an imbecile person.what you indicated here is not amplicable to me at all.i guess you got the phone as a birthday gift.lol.before you purchase a phone you must do a thorough research,as i indicated you didn't do that.every phone has its own weakness because they were fabricated by imperfect being.even that phone you and i can have in our mind to be the best it has weaknesses.you might argue snap is an old phone,what about new phones MW7 with limited memory and inches.a terrible phone is that one that has a default from the manufactor like most of nokia phones(no wonder).LOL.i detest people who criticise that which they have or own,as if they were forced to be given it.GOOGLE NEXUS ONE here i come.Crazy fan of htc Irrespectively

  • I got this phone 3 months ago as an upgrade from a Nokia E66 and must say, I am disappointed. As far as the business capabilities of the phone are concerned, especially email, it�s awesome, but thats really all there is. The Microsoft office suite loaded on the phone does not enable you to write any documents, only read them (and this is a functionality I used quite frequently on the E66). You would think that to compensate for the inability to write Word documents, the Snap would then at least have a basic Notes functionality�WRONG! I�ve had to resort to typing numerous draft sms�s to try overcome this most basic of failures. Added to that, the fact that you basically can�t use the speakerphone function if a call comes in after your phone has locked is also a HUGE negative. You have to tell the person on the other line to hold on while you take the phone away from your ear, press the �unlock� button, type in your unlock code, press ok, then only press the speakerphone function..with today�s fast paced lifestyle, this process really proves to be more than annoying. Another thing that a user of this phone (who in this case unfortunately happens to be me) must get used to, is that there are no �Exit� or �close� buttons on any of the applications on this phone. When you are done with something, you either select the back arrow repeatedly until you get back to the home screen or you press the home button..either way the applications you had open are left running in the background chowing your onboard memory without you realizing it. Sure enough there is a �Task Manager� functionality which you can use to shutdown the background processes, but would an exit button on each application really have been so bad?? I think not. The 2 megapixel camera makes this phone unsuitable if you ever plan to take good quality high resolution photo�s. I guess the assumption held by HTC when developing this phone is that people who buy smartphones don�t do so for the great photo�s they can take, right? True only if you walk around with your digital camera in your purse as backup. I find folder navigation also a bit tedious and have battled sometimes to locate where things I downloaded saved to on the phone. Verdict � if all you need is a phone that makes and receives calls (with some difficulty) and has a great email functionality, and not much else, Snap�s your man. Not being able to do something as easy as writing my grocery list on the phone has really made it second best in my books. Good luck to any of you who buy it.

  • Had alot of problems with the phone in the beginning.Contact the agents they very helpful. In capetown its Leaf offices near Canal walk. memorycard is in assesaries, file system and you need to press menu edit cut then menu scroll down to mem.card then edit and paste Now I struggle with trackball ,dont wanna go down taking phone back!

  • Ruth. go 2 mtn shop u wil gt it on R350.00 on Weekend contract. CASH is beta dan CREDIT

  • Hi guyz, I don't to crash your party. It's just that I have a difference in opinion when it comes to buying phones cash and prepaid vs contract. look at this... you spend R5.599 and let's you gonna spend another ±R5.500 on airtime over 2yrs. total is over R10.000. But if you took the snap on 135 topup contract. Its like ke this if you buy R135 worth of airtime for 2yrs they will give you the Snap free. R135 x 24 = R3240 which is better than going cash and prepaid...well thats my opinion....

  • can't send anything via bluetooth because it doesn't say send via bluetooth please help

  • white paper??? I'm already thinking about opening the phone and cleaning it manually... so irritated, now its not moving up any more.... :-(

Anyone else has this problem or am I alone? And what do you think about my issue? Problem is on keypad or windows or etc. Thanks, Gürsu from Ä°stanbul/Turkey

  • Directly to Mike in Nelspruit. how much did spent for this phone? i love Cash and Prepaid. installments and contracts sucks alot. i spent R5.599 to buy this phone at Maponya Mall. Htc have mercy on us YOUR phones are too expensive. i wonder how much will it cost for WM7 i dont want to imagine Androids phone which you will never find them in less than R7000. Have mercy on us.

  • Directly to Kian. You are such a darling. The program is amazing and it works well. You are helpful and reliable we need such in this forum. Halala Htc Halala. I love my snap so much based on what it can do to me and the design it is stunning. big fan of htc

This is a phone 4 those who uses internet of everyday of their lives. i use internet almost in everything where working this phone is helpful 4 me.

  • This is a musick phone go 2 Nokia with their outmoded OS 4 Musick phones. It is also not a camera phone go 2 samsung 4 their attitude of being counterfeit if u want good camera.

  • i cnt play without 3.5 mm Jack. nis fon

  • this thing rokcs man

  • Thanx anonymous for challenging my post. All I'm saying is that the Snap is good depending on what you want from it. Take for an example: I said to Maki that this is a good phone it goes beyond expectations because I knew Maki is a business person, and this phone would be ideal for her (edit office documents, brilliant web surfing, comfortable keyboard for typing etc.). But for a youngster who wants more entertainment than anything else it isn't good ( no fm radio, no 3.5 mm jack for headphones, music quality is low, no good games on it or on the market for it). So when we give an opinion about it, I think it is good to say it is good then state your reasons why you say so. Even if you say it is bad say why you think its bad...

  • HTC snap is awesome. I rate it 3.5 in 5 for this reasons. At some point takes a bit longer to execute programs (need more RAM) and goes too slow when multitasking (low CPU clock speed). But in general its a decent smartphone with great performance.

  • Wi-Fi. HSDPA 7.2. 528 Processor. 3G. A-GPS plus Google Map. Instant Email. Ebooks. Qwertypad keyboard. Inner Circle. i was told at vodashop that Htc Legend which worths R10,000 Uses some app of this phone. The Snap is the only phone which last long after charging it amongst all ALL htc phone.{we made that research}. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? You must be out of your mind

  • wen you check the opinion of those who are using Htc HD2 they've got a wonderful way of communicating. they assist one another to the fullest{THESE ARE REAL HTC LOVERS} not hypocrites that we have on this forum, who dont help others but critisizing the phone left right and centre. if u dilegently read opinions everyone who using Htc here at gsmarena, you will find tranquility. Recall our motto QUIETLY BRILLIANT. we have been favored as htc users to be the only once who gets the access to Android OS to most of htc's phone than other phones.

  • Awesome phone indeed. can i install Android in this mobile phone? if yes how? Quietly Brilliant

  • Lastly, i concur with those who says, its a MUST to have this phone. It makes my work easier. Most of my Fellow Students are using B.B which is slow in many things as i always observe them. Good Luck Go And Get It. I am a Crazy Fan Of Htc. toet sis

  • Im doing Computer Programming at the main campus {Wits University} this is my third year. Believe it or not this phone is fast like my car [VW GTi]. I use this phone for my studies more than my laptop which amaze my fellow student, When they go to IT room with their notebooks im carrying my Snap. The Wi-Fi is awesome. if you are there, Thinking Snap has a problem look at htc phones which are more expensive than Snap are lagging and sucks. Of course, with few things. I bought this phone R6000.00 it deserves it. Big Fan Of Htc

  • mai mai mai. the cheapest fone among all htc phone is htc smart. if windows makes u to cry we wil bury u once u use android. here we go baby, Htc touch pro comes with Android 2.2. ha ha

  • if u complein having this phone go and give it 2 the poorest of the poor instead of complaining. complainers are never content better to become a giver and buy yourself nokia 1208. lolest

  • Calm down guys. Every phone has its own problem the same as cars, the past past 3years i was driving bmw 118i {1Series] and i sold it, around june i bought audi a3 the one im owning now.they've got the great brand but with their own varies problems. GO 4 WHAT YOU LOVE MOST

  • Snap lovers. look at Htc Desire and Legend and many more the specifications are almost the same. what makes the phone to be costly its only the memory that it contains nothing more than that. the design is the almost the same. most of htc's phone dont have radio which is not important and it also doesnt have 3.5 mm jack which is unimportant. most of nokia phones using video callings,3.5mm jack and radio you get this things to cheap phones.

  • Andy its gud 2 no dat plp hv many reasons y dey buy a phone, tho htc lovers buys it bcos de OS is windows n dey also use internet on daily basis. sum ada plp buys htc phones bcos of its uniqueness {like myself} 4 dey r nt popular like nokia,samsung,etc. at de end of de day its abt CHOICES. i 2 spend hours a day on dis forum, meaning wat u said 2 maki months ago u wr lying. lol. u told her it goes beyond one's expectation. keep it real broer

  • Correction on my last post: ( I'm not trying to make any one who own the Snap feel bad).

  • I like handheld gadgets, I even subscribed to magazines that writes about gadgets only. Here on gsmarena I spend hours on my phone just reading about phones that are making waves in the market. Out of all the reviews I've read, on the HTC SNAP's review page there's more people looking for solutions to problems. Than there is people giving recommendations about this phone. Lets get real (I'm trying to make those who own the snap feel bad... I own one too). For this reason, If someone asked me if they should buy the Snap. I would tell them straight up that "there are other phones that are three times better than the Snap and are even cheaper than the snap. Take for an examples if I gave you the E63 for a day just to try you'll see that the E63 is five times better than the Snap, and it is cheaper. The point of this is that (lets not lead people astray saying this phone is good when it really isn't). Someone might spend their last money they have been saving for a long time, only to be stuck with something they are not happy with. Your honest opinion could save someone a great deal of disappointment. I'M NOT BASHING THE SNAP, I HAVE IT TOO. They nomarlly say HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

  • Unfortunately the snap has no 3.5mm jack which allows you to use headsests of your choice...

  • Does the Snap have a 3.5 mm jack for external headphones?

  • Hi everyone. When i try to install things to the jblend it just resist them, Which makes it difficult to download. I am satiated with the performance of this phone, Why waiting go and get this phone. Well done htc.

  • can someone tell me if the htc snap phone will operate on wind netward i beleive wind uses 1700/2100 band this phone is 900/2100

  • Yeah sure. 160$ is a very reasonable price for this phone

  • Hi everyone, I Live in Iran. I Want to buy this smartphone. in our area, it`s about 160`000 $ What are you thinking about It? Is It a good cellphone with this price? can you say your experiment with this cellphone Tanx

  • Thanks tunde and the above anonymous. now our problem is, when we want to download staff like ebook,videos,music,movies.etc to memory card its a very difficult thing, Because it does not give you the option such as to Phone Memory or Memory Card. we do want to know how to transfer things to memory card. we do send plain emails but emails with attachments its difficult to send. maybe you can help us with proper email settings.lastly, how do you save pictures from the internet? i love your co-oporation. cheers

  • Actually I had bought htc this last week w/o memory in Jakarta. if you want to see SD Card (card memory), pls flw this step : Start, settings, device information, hardware so you can look item for Storage card memory

  • @ mzwandile to read your memory card simply go to start then click setting then click "more" 3 times you will then see Device Information click it then click (2) hardware you all the hardware of your device. but if you want to see the content on your memory card simply go to start then go to "Accessories" then go to "file explorer" click menu you will see "storage card" then click or click 8 to view the content on your memory card its as simple as that. if you encounter other problem please let me know.

  • to all htc snap users please help those who are finding it difficult to read memory card including my friend and many people in this forum are without help.if you can read sd card tell us which procedure did you follow,because of this problem my friend fails to enjoy his phone. thanks for helping others in advance.

  • Directly to Maverick. i own Htc Desire. for me to come in this forum its because of my friend who bought this gadget fortnight ago. having to say we struggled all night long to read sd card, we even took the phone to vodaworld during our lunch time for assistance in a nutshell they told us its a problem from the factory.i did sit down with my macbook to trace your input in this forum only to find out you are full of yourself. you wanna make a name for yourself.

  • y is my mxit only getn dc? help please

  • Thanks Andy. N8 wil b launched this month wil take a look at it and write back to you. Thanks again.

  • well this phone is nice but for a person with a business sence... not really for teens lie myself.. i got the phone and in really not satisfied ... but for people who are looking for a simple fast accessable phone the htc snap is good... please do also pay attention to the track ball.. mine jams for no good reason... i dont know if others have the same problem

  • Hi!! I just bought my phone. The problem that I have is that i can't send any messages to anyone.. they say that something is wrong with my service centre adress :s? I can't find it in the settings... I hope somebody can help me THANKS!!

  • Hi! I have the SAME problem! Has your problem been solved? Can you please tell me what I can do to fix it? THANKS

  • Hi Troy, thank you for trusting my opinion. Out of all three phones you've mentioned (E71, Snap,N8), I'll tell you that the N8 is a killer phone. The N8 is everything you would from a mobile phone. It features 12mp camera, 50hrs of music play,divx player, tv out and many more other interesting features. If I was about to buy a new phone and had to choose between those three, I would not think twice I'd go for N8. Compare the specs you'll see what I mean... Good luck

  • maverick wat u said 2 dan is not true it das nt show storage card at all. think b4 u write.

  • wjvelasquez, Where did you download Garmin for your Snap? Do you have a link to website for me please...? Does it work like BlackBerry's Garmaps? Please advise!

  • Hi Andy. Can u pls advice which is better. 1)Nokia E73 Mode 2)Nokia N8 3)HTC Snap I am looking for a phone with best connectivity,coverage, and IF POSSIBLE a great radio and media player. Touch screen not imp. Feel free to recomend any other model. Thanks a lot.

  • Would you please tell me how to move location of mail and attachments to storage card, step by step? Coz I can't find it at the web you gave before. Thanks.

  • Yes, I install Skype v.3.0.0.256 and its WORK properly. Good sound quality, with no video function. But that isn't a problem for me. Too bad Skype stop developing for Windows Mobile :( HTC Snap is cool. I love it, good job HTC! I love my Snappy!!

  • This is indeed a fantastic phone and a MUST HAVE but my problem is that the trackball tends to stop working otherwise everything is cool, I am a Nokia fan but recently changed to HTC Snap. Well done HTC!!!!!!!!

  • - 3G FAST on HSDPA 7.2Mbps - Camera: 2Mpx very good quality - look nice - Feel good. - GPS: with Gamin work very well. without data By this price is very, very good

  • Dan, Look at the settings you put in for your emails: HTML/Plain text. I assume you set it up to download the email attachments also. That is way your phone's memory is full. You must insert a SD card, download the attachment and save it to your SD card, then delete the email. Downside to this is you loose your email and it's attachment pairing... Was bummer for me too! To check if you SD card is working go: Start>Accessories>File Explorer. Press menu and see if the "Storage Card" option is there. Good luck mate!

  • I don't know what you would regard as good battery life, but I'm pretty happy with the Snap's. Goes 3 days between charges. If you do IM and email a lot, I'm pretty sure you could 2 days between charges!

  • Hi I have got HTC Snap S521.Problem No 1:I did the email settings,now the problem is it doesn't display my email messages.I get this message:"Message will download next time you connect and receive email".

Problem No 3: I want so save my staff in the memory card but i cant see it.It does not show if the memory card is in and i can't even find it when trying to search.I inserted it though Please help me!!!

  • hi sbusiso. click start and go to setting and select device information and click hardware. there you will find the state of your memory. well done htc

  • Hi I just installe my new 4 gig memory card while I was dowloding music, the phone informed me that I must deteate some data as the memory was low. How could this be possible. This phone is still new to me as I still learn how to use it. As on other Brands this is coursed by not removing stuff on your phone memory. Now I dont even know where is phone memory on this one please help. HTC Snap..... I love it.

  • Surferboy: Yes, just check out the Endomondo app. It's great. I use it for running/jogging!

  • Hi Surferboy, well I thought GPS was invented to track where you going not where you've been. It's kinda interesting that you raise this question... But let's try this if you haven't, from the end point of your journey type the starting point of your journey as the end point. Then it should give you the road you've just traveled (backwards). If that does not work I think you should contact HTC maybe they will help... Best of luck...

  • hi everyone. how can i delete some of the websites that appears on History if i dont want people to search or know what i have been doing? well done htc.

  • can i use the GPS on this phone to track where i have been. For Mountain bike use

  • thanks alot Andy.

  • Hi,I have a problem when trying to use the phone as a modem. The phone has the 'share internet' feature, and it works whe i use it through bluetooth, I only have a problem when using it via usb..I called HTC customer care and they advised that i should install the pc suite, since it has the necessary sofware for the pc to pick up the phone as a modem. If anyone has a solution to this, kindly assist. your assistance will be highly appreciated. much thanks Terrence Mbokazi MTN SA Customer executive.

  • Hi, the default browser that actually comes with the phone is not good,why do I say so? 1. It displays the pages in a pc format (bigger than the phone's screen) and you have to move your screen all over the page to read the page . 2. Because it displays pages in pc format, the data content becomes too large. That makes your internet surfing costs high. 3. Some functions are userlocked e.g. On snap you can't download pictures. I do lot of graphic designing so I sometimes look for interesting pics on the net via google and it doesn't give me an option to save the file on my snap. For those reasons I chose to install Opera mini 4.2. It is less costly because it compresses data. It also makes pages fit your screen so you don't have to navigate your way around the page looking for stuff. PLUS IT WILL GIVE YOU THAT OPTION TO SAVE PAGES WHEN YOU PRESS MENU/TOOLS TO FIND THAT OPTION AND SAVE THAT INTERESTING PAGE YOU WANNA GET BACK TO LATER... If you don't have it, go to www.getjar.com then search opera mini it will bring the version that's compatible will the snap. Download, install. After installation you'll find it in START/ACCESSORIES/JBLEND... Before using it you have to configure it in it's settings to mobile view... I hope this helps everyone with a problem regarding the use of internet...

  • Maki, maybe you've sort this out by now, but your text messages for a number is all stored together! The internet is brilliant, browser rocks, just check your GPRS settings.

  • Hi, I am successfully able to upgrade to windows 6.5 - I had to get the upgraded ROM from T-Mobile site. Before upgrade, it never showed slow performance but now it occassionally halts sometimes and then recovers automatically.

  • Did you charge your phone 16hrs when you first got it(brand new). If you did let's try this discharge your phone (use your phone until the switches off by itself) then charge it while it is off until the red light turns green then switch it on, you should be ok. If not the replace the battery with an original HTC battery or if your phone is still under warranty take it back and they will seek a solution to your problem... hope you find this. helpful MTshepana...

  • Well I don't know which country you are in, but I'll tell you this in S.A. it comes with A-GPS fully functional. You don't have. to activate anything. In addition it also comes with google maps which is also good because it is GPS asisted. After all I'll tell you this the Snap's gps is not very good compared to nokia's GPS. well bottom line is it has gps... hope you find this useful good luck...

  • hi guys. when people send me smses they dont appear on the phone as if nothing happened. And the amazing part is that to my phone it says messages are full and guess what i only one sms on my sms inbox. help please. when coming to internet its atrocious i cant do anything,it says the page is not displayed.

  • Thanks alot Andy we need positive people like you,long live. you are absolutely right HTC SNAP battery is excellent and it amazed me.I AM A BIG BIG BIG FAN OF HTC. Felicitations you are brilliant in helping people.

  • In my experience no it doesn't affect the battery, what does is the is the screen light and the speakers when playing music without headphones. HTC snap battery is very strong compared to the smartphones I've used before e.g. Nokia N95 8gb, Sony Erricson P1i, Samsung F700... for these phones I had to charge the battery twice a day but the snap I only charge once in two days. And I'm always on the internet, so rest assured that you have a good communicating device in your hands...

  • thanks andy. that 3g does it affect the battery or what?

  • Removing that 3g thing is impossible in my opinion, that is set by your service provider e.g. vodacom, cellc, mtn or virginmobile. that is there to let you know what internet speed can you connect with in that particular area you are in. I doubt any the service provider can help you. what you can try is contact HTC directly maybe they can help... if that is possible, it will be the first that I hear it. Good luck...

  • how can i remove 3g on the wallpaper if i am not using it? its urgent please

  • its a first time using mw phone. my previous phone was samsung g800. my htc snap as a new user is quite sophisticated but im on the process of knowing it consummately. if you know much about this phone help me out here. [email protected] dont just make louzy commotions but help one another.i perceived on this section people with earnest queries remains unhelped but those who probably not using are making senseless commotions. i am urge you brothers and sisters lets give aid where its necessary.

  • Dont make any fluppy comment if you are not using this phone. how can one activate visibility when you want to use bluetooth? As new as it is, how long must i put this phone on the charger 16Hrs or 24Hrs or any time its a tea time? how can one know when the battery is full? By the way, WE ARE ENJOYING SOCCER WORLD CUP HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA

  • i own htc snap its a wonderful phone up to so far. its my fist time using WM phone it is quite complicated but im on the process of learning it. i perceived most of comments on the forum or section are not based on HTC SNAP are merely referred to B.B and that disturbs me alot. we want pertinent forks here who will new users on how to cope with the phone. PLEASE DONT ABOUT ANY PHONE IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY USING IT

  • Hi Vic I Have discovered something about the snap being unable to detect the memory card. the thing is the memory card I was using had a password protection and lucky enough I knew the password I inserted the memory card in Nokia 2700 classic and removed the password protection on the card and inserted the card back to the snap. when I recieved an email with an attachment, I chose save it on memory card so my problems were solved. I hope this will help you too good luck...

  • Yes it starts charging as soon as you plug it to the usb port same as an Ipod Lately I don't even use the wall charger that is because I plug to my snap to laptop half the whole time...

  • yes, it can be upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5. if you buy one now it will come with 6.5, if not then go to htc home page and download the 6.5 and instructions on how to upgrade.

  • could anyone please tell me if this phone's battery starts taking charges when it attached to PC??

  • Hi everyone, is there anyone who knows if the Snap's Operating System is upgradable from 6.1 to 6.5...? Your reply will be much appreciated...

  • I hav been using tis phone for the past 1 month plus and i m glad i brought tis phone. this is a great phone for me. There is no such thing as a prefect phone with all the specs u wan, bt for a snap user , i m quite satisfied with this phone

  • yhoo im so inlove with my htc

  • what is the diference of htc snap s521 and htc s522?

  • I have had this phone since last november, it hanged two days from the day I had it, send it for repairs worked for a week fine, but this fone keeps on hanging I hate that.

  • Yes, if you went through your manual you would have noticed that it take micro sd card of up to 16GB. Not to shabby. So you definitely have a micro laptop on your hands.

  • Hey whats the deal with this phone

  • ofcours you can add a memory card to the snap, it actualy comes with a memory slot

  • I have the HTC Snap. What version do I get to mxit on my qwerty keyboard?

  • how do you copy phone book from a sim card to phone memory?

  • hi just want to find out if the snap can take the memory card? and were can you add memory

  • does anybody have ATT service with this phone but the 30 dollar data plan? will they automatically add it to your bill if you don't have it?

  • is this classified as a smartphone?

  • Can the snap play any video file. Without needing to convert it.? Lets say you throw a episode of dbz or naruto on the phone. Will it play the file? Is the quality of video's flawless or what do you guys and girls say

  • Can anyone please tell me about the applications it can take and where can i get it.

  • how do you do the software of the HTC on the phone

  • Great phone. I Like it

  • Yes: MS Word, Excel, but it does not seem as if it can create those docs

  • does the snap have an editor to edit documents

  • i have been a samsung addict for a while and i got this phone a month ago and already i can't wait to get rid of it, i can't retrieve most of my messages if i insert another sim card. switchin goff and on doesnot help either.

  • the lg gw300 is a great phone, i have abselutely no problem with it, it's just that the oldest brick phone could of handled mxit better...when you try to download mxit it freezes constantly and when you finally got it downloaded it takes forever to open or doesnt open at all, a huge disapointment because the only reasen i baught the phone was because i thaught it would be more comfy to mxit with, but the media player and image viewer is just totally awesome and i think i can live with the mxit mishab

  • i think the Snap should be better.i suggest to you buy snap.

  • Howzit guys. I'm about to move from my trusty 4 yr old Nokia E61i to this phone. Any ideas/ comments? Thanks, Ivan

  • hi i really like this mob i wanna buy this may i know wats the price plz....

  • Hi I bought this phone about 3weeks ago. This is without a doubt the best phone ever.great interaction between applications, love the themes, the exchange server works perfectly, the trackball kicks ass. you can tweak this phone to perfection. This is my second HTC and I will not buy another brand ever again. One question though: Ive been trying to download from one particular site and it keeps on giving me an error (Link is unavailable) I did download from this site before and now seems to be not working. Any advice??? Anywho I recommend this phone beyond a doubt! Great stuff HTC! You rock!

  • I have had HTC Snap 6175 for two months, It has not frozen up, It has performed great. I get corporate exchange email, Office communicator IM, I can open (word, excel, PDF, powerpoint,) office attachments. I can edit word, excel attachments. MS Mobile Office works great with this phone. I can record voice notes, pictures, video and email them instantly. Great Phone, Love IT.

  • my trackball gets stuck frequently. the media player is very poorly made. the only thing i like about it is that the storage card contents do not show up automatically in file explorer. this keeps people from viewing my private files when they use my phone on the pretext of *testing* it. seriously, my phone hangs very very frequently (more than once daily) ever since i upgraded to wm6.5. the numeric keys should also have been placed on the RIGHT of the keypad, since we thumb the FN button with our left hand, we should obviously hit the numerical button with our RIGHT. unfortunately because of the keypad layout, hitting numeric digits in SMS and notes is a real b1tch.

  • would this be a good long term phone or no

  • Hi I have the same problem, the phone freeze all the time and it is getting worse since last month. Now I'm not be able to switch it on. the "smart mobility" logo is the only thing I can see on the display before the phone freeze. I've been using this phone for six months but I'm really disappointed. It never worked good. It used to freeze almost twice a day since the first day I bought it online....I've supposed it was windows mobile. I updated it a couple of weeks ago but it did not work.

  • how do you send media files from the damned phone

  • hi guys ive only had this htc snap for less than a month bt now its freezing all the time what can i do

  • Robbie i suggest to you buy the Htc Snap because it has Wifi, Gps, more Ram and Windows mobile.

  • I suffered the same problem. You are installing the newer mxit versions, I take it. Try using a little bit of an older version, there are many websites that have them. this will fix your problem

  • hey guys please will someone help me?\ i wanna know which phone to choose either the LG GW300 or the HTC snap... please reply

  • Ok, at the end of the day is it a good phone or not?

  • this phone it has make my life easy recently

  • this phone it has make my life easey recently

  • This is phone is a heavy disappointment. The menu an icons looks basic as though a half-drunk windows technician sent the software to a really drunk HTC technician to release to the public as a final product. It is embarrassing to anything mobile, as thought the menu was curved out with a blunt knife. Secondly, the media player is below basic... windows media player mobile is NO WHERE near the pc version and yet other phones come close. I have not yet tried videos but I will let you know. The aesthetic appeal of the interface is below zero and the phone takes long to launch some applications. Basically, unless there is an update, don't get this phone. Go for something else... palm looks good; I just might try it

  • Hiya, I'm new to the Snap family and I experience difficulty downloading and subsequently using mxit :( Please, any help would be appreciated, I've downloaded a Java version but I can't enter any text into the boxes so I can't login...HELP! PLEAESE!

  • Nice simple office device. work,internet,call and sms. good batterry life ever.

  • 14 pages of interaction and no conclusive result. what is better? a good looking car with an unreliable engine, or a poor looking car with a rusted body and the engine has been running for the past 20 years. Yes, I know the analogy is far fetched, but shrink the time to the life expentancy of this phone and what do you get?

  • I want to know : 'TV OUT facility is available in this handset or not'?

  • i don't know what happened but my messages suddenly stopped saying the time recieved and just give the date,. i didn't do a thing. but i can't find it in settings. any ideas?

  • Love the phone, just a few things bothering me. It can't download most java apps, sound does,nt stay constant and the trackball keeps jamming. Sometimes it wont go to the rest of your messages in the inbox. Love the streaming quality and the video quality.

  • @ Tholakele: I hav been using this device since feb 2010 & I will tell u wht I like n dis about it! DISLIKE: it has poor java n no flashplayer, these help in using third party applications and da accessing flashplayer rich content online, since I purchased da phone especially for da internet I found this to be a big flop! If u want to use thirdparty apps like nimbuzz, mxit, operamini to name just a few, then u will need a java reader app called Esmertec Jbed, install it on ur phone 1st. Only then will u be able to use 3rd party java apps. If u r an operamini user, the right version for ths device is 10 Beta 3. U also asked about wap n mms settings, YES u will get them preinstlled if buy da phone on cotract, if its prepaid u will hav to request them frm ur network provider. LIKES: It has a bluetooth internet sharing feature whch allows me to connect it to my net book n surf da net without any wires, I like dat, its fast, love da unique design. I hope dat helps all of u guys from South Africa n world wide. for anymore questions find me on facebook: www.facebook.com/thebigzill

  • The menu icons are heavily pixelated. Someone needs to rectify that

  • Do you find that this phone hangs ever? I've had it a month and having serious problems with that. Other than that I have the same experience with the phone. Thanks

  • You can use MIcrosoft One Note. Start>Micrososft Office>ONe note. (Its the only office application where you can start a new document from the phone). Theres also a task list...thats sort of good for notes too, which is in the start menu

  • Which is better the HTC Snap or Dream? Considering that I only need a qwerty phone little net surfing. Priority is messaging and normal notes taking.

  • Yeah, How can we make the chat button launch google talk instead of windows messenger? Also where can I get google talk for winmo anyway?

  • How can I change the windows live button to launch Google talk not windows live?

  • I have to choose between the nokia e71 and the htc snap... now, i like that the htc snap's internet and processor is faster and its n better design, but i dont like that the snap has only a 65k screen compared to the 16million of the nokia e71, i also dont like the 2mp camera (altho i wont really use it)i tend to lean to the nokia because of its faster grps and edge but the hsdpa is slower than the snap, oh and i like the windows mobile of snap but think nokia is more reliable than the snap... any inputs?

  • well if you want you can download windows market place and you will find the skifire

  • does it could upgrade to WM 6.5?

  • If opera mini is suck a problem on this phone, why dont anyone try to use skyfire on it? I am only looking to buy the phone, so if anyone can reply on the compatibility between the htc snap and skyfire, it would be of great help. Thank you.

  • would you reccomend this phone or not

  • does this phone have txt threading like the sony ericssons (conversations)

  • is this phone good

  • where can i download this fone software? pls help. thanks

  • so have we determined yet if this phone can mxit? i c its also recognized as the htc s521 snap... so instead of looking under htc snap for it on the mxit website, look for the htc s521...

  • The phone didn't sales in HONG KONG, TAIWAN... why?

  • I want to buy this phone, how is the wifi and facebook?

  • OK I have this phone now for more then 7 months and this is my experience: -battery life is extremely good (5-8 days, with normal usage) -Wifi works good, strong antenna -keyboard is a delight compared with my previous phone: Nokia E71 -building quality is very good, nothing is easily breakable or easily damaged -screen is very nice, good resolution also for webbrowsing -plays even HD video's 720p fluently -camera is 2 MP what u get is what u see, nothing special, only usefull for useless pictures. -WMP works quite well after the free ROM update to WM 6.5 -synchronizing is very easy, the set up even more. -trackball is a delight if u know how to use it, going through menu's is much, much faster now. -overal workability of this phone is enormous. -for people who are allergic to touch screen phones, perhaps this is the best alternative.

  • Hey HTC Family please let me know how to downlaod htc software to my computer in order to link to internet and downloading of pictures and music,plesse guys hook me up on thiss email adress [email protected]

  • i have seen this phone physically and it's not worth 300 EUR,,, Specially the keys are not that much really and the screen is really small

  • can I use this in USA?

  • Nice phone, but keypad is too flush, which makes it slower than necessary. I guess they wanted to keep it as thin as possible because of the Nokia E71. A shame, really. Otherwise a very comfortable device, but camera is completely useless.

  • It seems to me like no one really knows any thing about this phone!!!! I just purchased it and I love every thing about it but It's web experience really sucks! I tried downloading operamini and it recognised my phone as an htc - raphael. I have no idea what that is! It then reccommended that I download operamini 10 beta 2. I did and after installing it, it refused to accept the end user license!! The problem is the trackball mouse daz reach to the accept tab. My Big Question is - What Operamini version works with this phone. Someone please help!

  • hi there everyone i have just purchased ths phone. i love it, but i have one big problem I cant run oeramini on it. it successfully downloaded operamini 10 beta2 but when i have to accepthe user contct it cant accept. daz ths phone run opera?

  • Hi the volume for this phone is to slow you can't do anything because the material they use to make housing for this phone is plastic so try to keep your volume high all the time....

  • in love with the HTC Snap

  • Look at the tech. specification first

  • Is this phone dual sim or not?

  • I suppose, they had to fir it with Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 already

  • Here is the latest WM6.5 custom ROM for Snap:

  • ive had this phone for 2 months i can't stand it not web friendly screen is impossible to look at web pages buttons are coming loose and falling out and i have a case on it at all times, back cover always falls off impossible to properly sync emails to it slow and drops calls and doesnt get service in many places my other friends do with the same provider this is my second one i am furious with it

  • can anyone tell me how to read realplayer ringtones or realplayer programms

  • is the gps voice activated

  • Hi Maverick, can you at least configure it to download e-mails automatically as you can do with Windows Mobile Pro (for PocketPCs)? It seems you can't do that in a BB! this is maybe the main reason why I'm probably buying the Snap!

  • Hello HTC Family. Just got HTC Snap any one can guide e how o get latest winows verion on it? how to get additional theemes and loude ring tones.

  • Guys, how does one send a pic from the gallery via Blue tooth to another phone? second Question how can you save a received picture from your messages to your Gallery? I am stuck. please help

  • I was using the E71 and it has everything you need. I am just adjusting to this phone. it's a bit better in terms of weight a bit of a down grade for me however the E71 has more features than the Snap. I think HTC needs to make the Snap 02 with all the E71 features and they will make all the sales

  • yes the phone has loud speaker. whiles on the call- go to menu and select Speakerphone on. if you want to increase the volume tap on the side- opposite the USB port on top

  • to anybody who has this phone .... can u pls tell me if u can install skype on this phone and make free skype to skype calls via wifi

  • I really like this phone. Only gripe is that it does not have a traditional NOTES/MEMO function, only a VOICE NOTES function. Have I just missed it, or can it be downloaded as an application?

  • hi there can anyone tell me if htc snap supports software to make voip calls from internet via wi-fi specially from the UAE as i am planning to buy one . THANKS A LOT

  • it's been a week since i have this phone and i can't figure out how to send ring tones via bluetooth. Can anyone guide me through the steps?

  • Can anyone indicate if this phone has loud ringtones, loud speakerphone?

  • seem that this silly does not own one..it is fake statements man..how come he/she has used this gadget for 5 months still not know what device they have..its htc and not nokia..hahahha..totally insane man..

  • It is not a Nokia, it's a HTC....

  • This phone isvery good, i use it 5 month, great phone, NOKIA is the best shit in the world!!!

  • E71 is no where close to Windows OS... Both are great phones on their individual level.

  • the worst phone i have ever used. it hangs up every now n then. switched over to this from nokia and am extremely disappointed with HTC. looks sleek and easy to use but not good

  • feature wise - E71 BUT HTC Snap really looks appealing

  • Depending on which OS you prefer. HTC Snap is Windows Mobile but Nokia E71 is Symbian. I owned a HP 514 for 3 yrs and just bought E72. Personally I still prefer Windows over Symbian in handling Contacts, SMS & Emails.

  • Hi all. I intent to get this phone. Just want to check with those who own this phone, does it have problem going to website that have flash or flash clips? Cause this phone meet my requirement of checking mail, wifi for outdoor msn or surf net and just listen to some MP3 music. Im more of a messaging than a calling person. Hence qwerty is better than touch screen.

  • i'm thinking getting nokia E71 or HTC SNAP. Which one is better?

  • i think is the nice phone the battery last and i enjoy using it

  • It also runs on the AWS 1700/2100 spectrum on Wind Mobile.

  • This phone is known as the HTC Maple in Canada, and is offered on the Wind Mobile provider.

  • It's a good phone : Battery life excellent, Win Mo 6.5 excellent capacity full conectivity But it's a Headset for professionnal usage : The screen too small for good multimedia experience, keyboard a little bit special at the beginning but just a question of adaptation. For me I bought it cause I was looking for a phone with wich one I can answer of my professional needs : Email check, Activesync, battery life, good browser and full keyboard.

  • I think this phone is a better alternative to blackberry, my question is,does it support blackberry services/network?

  • i found that the gtalk mobile app on java is really slow on the snap compared to the htc ty ii. has any1 else had this problem?

  • Good Night for all , i am want to Buy Snap Device soon but ....... i am want to know about this mobile if good or no.?!.

  • yes, it can read chinese characters.

  • its a great fone but i cant get songs frm other fones via bluetooth

  • Once you've installed CE-Star it will. You can download it for free and continue using it even without buying the full product since the characters will remain able to be read even after the trial period.

  • a very good and user friendly phone...i like it very much.

  • Hi I want to know htc snap phone supporing Voip call or not.

  • Hi I want to know htc snap phone supporing Voip call or not.

  • I need to upgrade my phone and i like the htc snap but i am not sure it works well and if it is easy to use.

  • can this phone support3G calls??

  • Thank you Melker. I did use side scrolling all the time but there are occasions that you need to scroll at speed in one direction, scanning inbox for example, and it becomes very painful. At highest speed setting, it isn't even 1/2 of BB speed and the low speed setting is almost unusable.

  • Hi, may I know whether HTC snap is able to read chinese sms? I would greatly appreciated it if anyone could help to advise.

  • Nice, but no better than the Nokia E72. It has no RDS Radio for instance and the camera is quite lame.

  • I have both, Touch ViVA and SNAP :) They are great! I am not gonna change any of them...

  • can you watch foxtel/paytv on this phone. I have a provider that allows me to get 24 unlimited foxtel on my iPhone apparently it can be used on other phones I just wanted to check with you savvys before I buy.

  • Do you know if Snap syncronize all outlook folders with the server?

  • Skype works on SNAP like a charm via WI-FI ! I love it, better than on iPhone!

  • i have now HTC Viva. is it right to change it to HTC Snap ????

  • i have HTC viva. can any body tell me, is it right to change it to SNAP?

  • this is better than any blackberry. i really hope that htc will keep producing qwerty non touchscreen windows based phone

  • please advise witht the phone fuetures

  • This is a link that provides a stable windows mobile 6.5 firmware upgrade. I have been using it for 2 weeks and it is GREAT!

  • Sunburn: "Second, trackball is way way slow compare to BB. At fastest speed setting it's still very slow." Are you serious? I think mine is quite speedy on the fastest settings. Then in Start-window; I go from first to third page in one single sweep of the thumb. Then in Settings-menu; bear in mind that you also can side-scroll to move between pages. That much faster then down-scrolling.

  • Thanks Rufus Boy, will definitely check it out! Anybody have problems with receiving a MMS message...?

  • There're three things that I dislike about this phone: First, softwares that come preinstalled are very poor. Second, trackball is way way slow compare to BB. At fastest speed setting it's still very slow. Third, call quality is average at best. Plus points: great battery life, powerful processor means snappy UI. This currently my main phone.

  • Try reinstalling factory-settings through Start > Accessories > Clear Storage.

  • try looking for a firmware upgrade.. make sure you have all data backed up

  • I have just started using the phone for about 3 weeks now it freezes a lot.Any ideas of what i can try.

  • You can easily save attachments to storage card. Like all windows mobile devices, if you don't like it, you can change it. Go to www.xdadevelopers.com, and do a search for "moving location of mail and attachments to storage card" for how to make the change. I did, and everything is now on my storage card.

  • Hi Gez, Yes Windows live messenger is pre installed in the phone and it works fine.

  • I must be honest, as a HTC fan I'm more than a little disappointed in the fact that Outlook email attachments can't be saved on the Storage Card. This feature wasn't created for Smartphones, only for Pocket PC's. The Snap was created to compete with the Blackberry (traditionally the email handset of choice). So if a pro email phone can't save all of it's attachments, how can it compete. Otherwise, not bad phone at all!

  • Yes, MSN Messenger as well as MSN Hotmail works like hand-in-glove with this phone. Messenger is pre-installed. I own and use this phone myself.

  • hello, HTC Snap user, can I ask is there any MSN Messenger included in this phone??

  • RTFM

  • how much is htc snap for ???

  • just got the snap on my upgrade, really wanted the blackberry curve. anybody that knows if their is a real differance between the phones exept for the free internet and email service

  • Hi i just wanted to ask about Product HTC SNAP and i wanted to know which type of applications can be runing on.. because i felt it smartphone not pocket pc

  • I was wondering i the HTC snap supports fb chat just like blackberry?

  • Check out app-specific menu & options before you ask. From the google map-application; choose Menu > Use GPS.

  • "hello anybody knows what do when the audio manager does not open on htc snap." A somewhat roundabout method would perhaps be to choose Start > Accessories > Clear Storage. That resets and restarts the phone with factory default settings - and I believe with the default installs too.

  • a very good looking but the problem is that it does not support Arabic. And it does not come with an Arabic keypad. But i like it

  • how do you get the gps working on this phone ?

  • hello anybody knows what do when the audio manager does not open on htc snap.

  • hello anybody knows what do when the audio manager does not open on htc snap.

  • Yes, Skype works nicely. All in all HTC Snap is an excellent machine with a very good battery

  • Yes, this model have voice-recording. A nice touch is that you can choose to rename your recordings. So you not stuck with some autogenerated anonymous name like the default "recording1", "recording2" and so on.

  • have anybody used Skype on HTC snap

  • does the HTC snap have voice recording?

  • Stupid mistake because a lot of people want to use their own expensive 3.5 mm earphones.

  • no it does not

  • can someone tell me if the Snap has a 3.5 mm audio jack??

  • ya me too also facing this... But after I check with the HTC customer service, they told me that this is very normal only...

  • i've had the phone for a week.. loving it so far.. not complicated at all but the battery only lasts about 12 hours if having the wi-fi on

  • Any one installed any separate media players for this phone. WMP really sucks particularly during fast forward and rewinds. TCPMP wont install in Winmo6.1 neither do the DIVX mobile player, anyone have any suggestion for a Better Video / Media player.

  • it has good feeling to see this mobile in htc, fetures are also good.

  • "I open my wifi whole day and use it around 6 hours per day, the battery only last one day, is it normal?" Enabeling WiFi is one of the more battery-intensive tasks one can do on a phone. Only enable and use if/then its necessary.

  • Here provide battery check step to asssit you further define the battery usage, you can take referrance to that and conclude if battery is normal or abnormal. 1. Charge the battery to 100%. 2. Tap the task manager icon on top of the home screen to disable from running any applications. 3. Go to Start->Settings->Connections Tab->turn on flight mode. 4. Go to Start->Settings->System tab->Backlight or Power, adjust the backlight to the maximum for both "On battery power" and "On external Power", uncheck any option that would set the backlight to turn off.("Turn off device if not used for", "Turn off backlight if not used for") 5. Let phone stay idle for 1 hour and check battery capacity. 6. If there is a loss of 40% or more, then this means that battery is faulty and needs to be sent for servicing. I got this from HTC customer service. They have an excellence service.

  • Got it today,it is fast as of now (no softwares installed yet) It has an inbuilt GPS but no Software.Will be loading few softwares soon- then will update you.

  • The battery life is only around 1 day for me with around 6 hours device usage...I dunno whether is this normal onot...

  • I open my wifi whole day and use it around 6 hours per day, the battery only last one day, is it normal? Sometime i din use the phone, but the battery is still 32 degree celcius, is it normal?

  • it looks and smells like a bold rip off

  • great phone by all standards. similar to the Nokia E71. great work HTC. LOVE THIS PHONE

  • I've had my Snap for 2weeks now and still havent got enough of the fone. i've been able to download my movies and full episodes to my fone without any lag what the specs list doesnt tell you, is that the fond comes with 100MB onboard memory, and thats enough to get you going. the google maps and live search are also quite nifty

  • For anyone who unhappy with the font of HTC Snap, go to: for registry edit making cleartype font

  • I have used this phone for a week now and I dont regret buying it. The big letter qwerty-keyboard and trackball works surprisingly nice together. Any minor hardware-critic is more about deliberate feature-omissions rather then unintended designflaws. For example; I personally would have prefered a separate 3.5 audio-jack. And a really good autofocus 3MP camera. And a digital D-pad for games and traditional D-pad assigned shortcuts + a digital double-commando option working in conjunction with that analoge trackball. And Radio added. But having said that: the 2MP camera for example is one of the better in the fixfocus-camp, that I have come across. And I absolutely love that fat letter-querty - and the really long batterylife. The software is Windows mobile v6.1 - and, well; either one like it, or one dont. For me, it took a couple of days to get friendly and homey with. Its absolutely perfect for E-mail including Internet-based hotmail and Messenger on-the-go (the whole Windows Live concept), I must say.

  • there is no difference between them only the name

  • What's the difference betwen the htc snap s520, s521 and s522?? Also, I'm planning to buy this from a dealer in china. I live in Australia. Will this phone work when I travel to Europe?

  • Nope, it does not have 3.5mm jack. It have HTC properitary mini USB. But there are lot of USB to 3.5 jack converters available in market for 10$

  • i have been using the phone for over a month. greta phone,very good battery life,very good looking phone and feels great,has wifi and 3g. would definately recommend for the qwerty lovers.

  • hey...does it hv 3.5 mm jack?

  • Anybody using the HTC Snap in Canada? Will the 3G work or same issue as US?

  • Hey check use the phone or atleast read the specification before posting anything, this phone has wifi as well as 3G. What you might have seen would be DASH without 3G its a different phone for US market. Get it from European websites, check for HTC Snap not Dash or S521 or Dash W/O 3G.

  • there is no wifi in the phone

  • i went to see this phone yesterday and it was without 3g, so whats the deal ?:(

  • Everything is ok with my GPS. Please contact htc from your country or something is wrong with your htc snap.

  • It is one of the most elegant mobile at this moment. You should find how does it works out. An amazing mobile phone. It is better than you can imagine.

  • where can I get one in UK...is it available through any service proviers in UK???

  • I found a good video of the the Dash 3g its a different version of the snap.

  • I got frustated with the keys (pressing the wrong key (tab), and menu buttons). Sold the Snap after only few days playing around with it. Didn't try to update the firmware. Now using Samsung C6625, but waiting to try LG GW550.

  • Yep, Same problem - Device usage hour is changing and gets corrected automatically after recharging the battery. You have any problems with updating the windows??

  • GOOD -Looks nice -Feels nice in hand -Very snappy performance -Good speaker/sound quality BAD -Menu keys position not aligned with the windows screen above it. Always pressing the wrong button -TAB key is unusual for smartphone, also keep pressing the wrong button for letter 'A' -Screen fonts display looks low-res, there's no option to adjust fonts. -Something wrong with the firmware, keeps changing the hour/minutes of the "device usage length"

  • it look like blackberry ....maybe is is a copy cat...but dun know who copy who la...

  • i just got the phone in the uk. great great phone feels good battery could be better but is still pretty good.

  • Thanks for the info bro, I will try that for sure. By the way for the other user it's not available in most of the countries(I strongly beleive india should be in that list). If u really intend to get this device get it online from devicewire or clove websites

  • do I actually have turn on the satelite when i use GPS, how come my gps cannot receive any signal when I launch the program. Please! Any one help me!!

  • this fone makes my first name grow ;)

  • Dear fellow HTC snaps user, I had the same problem as well when I first purchase the HTC snap. However I went straight to HTC-support and asked for some help. The support people was very very helpful. My questions got answered withing 24 hours. I was able to use the internet connection and synchronization too. I strongly suggest for those who have problems with their HTC Snaps to go to to get some help :) I hope these will help :)

  • is this model avaliable in India?

  • Is this available is india?

  • Hello, In my Opinion there are way little problems from this phone when compared to other Winmo devices. Only problem is Battery for me atleast (I dont see this as problem in general reviews). Apart from this the Phone is worth for every dime u spent.

  • am i the only one that thinks this phone is way over-priced ?! :))) + has a lot of problems as i can see from user oppinions here

  • Cool dude, Are you facing any problems with the battery life, for me it just lasts for 1 day and a half.(Without using Wifi, call time may be around 1 hrs and device usage arouns 2 hrs)

  • I haven't try it out yet. But anyway i like his phone lol

  • Good for you then, I bought it online from Clove.co.uk and they didnt install any Navi software. Only Google maps was preloaded. By the way are you facing any problems in synchronizing the phone with Exchange server. For me it synchronizes when i connect it with usb to PC, however when i try it without cable(I.e., via internet) it is saying connection problem. However iam able to access internet via IE or skyfire.

  • It is install by the seller when I bought the phone, it is free. But now I cant receive any signal.

  • Hi there, From where did you got the Garmin software? I presume it to be from Garmin website if so then how much for 1 or 2 years license

  • Hi guys, i had installed GARMIN in this phone, when i launch this program, the phone cant receive any signal. Please let me know if anyone know how to fix it.

  • I've been using this mobile for about a week now, and i love almost most of the features except for its battery life and Synchronization with Exchange server. When i synchronize it with my pc using a USB cable i am able to download emails from exchange server whenever i remove the cable and try to synchronize it via internet it is not getting synchronized. It is saying connection problem. And windows is not getting updated again it is telling connection problem. But iam able to access the internet via IE or skyfire. Anybody facing this problem?

  • Is this device upgradeable to 6.5

  • HTC is based in Taiwan.

  • Yes, I saw some Ebay auctions for the i637 Jack some weeks ago, thanks. The vendor had at least 10 devices at the time but I decided to hold off because I knew that June was going to be a big month for announcements. Now with the addition of the B7320 I may be able to pick up a device locally instead of getting one from the USA. The Jack seems to edge out the Snap on most features with the only significant loss being on download speed but the Snap is available now. However I�m holding off a bit longer � at least until I see what HTC announce tomorrow.

  • Yeah, the Samsung Jack is a definite contender - 3.2MP camera & WinMo 6.5 upgradable too! Available on Ebay & it's cheaper than the Snap also. Check it out :)

  • htc originally made from which country

  • hi htc is amazing thats all .............................................

  • I wouldn�t bother with the LG GW550. It doesn�t have Wi-Fi, it�s a little heavier and it has a lower capacity battery. The HP iPAQ K3 Obsidian is a definite contender especially if they can make it a little narrower than 68mm. The other phones to consider are the Samsung B7320 and the Nokia E72 (for those willing to look at Symbian).

  • ,МООООО ЗЛЕ

  • hi, im trying to find this phone, where did you buy it? i cant find it anywhere :(

  • I have been waiting to get my hands on this baby since they first announed it @ the 2009 CTIA two months back. During that time I've beeen actively scouring this baby high & low for the best deals on the net & just recently happen to stumble upon 2 new coming-soon devices, which IMO, will give the Snap a run for its money - LG announces GW550 & HP iPAQ K3 Obsidian. Now I'm thinking to myself - Should I get the Snap or should I wait a good 3-6 more months for the other devices to hit the shelves? Decisions, decisions... :P

  • Why is this phone not 3G international? Separate version for US and Europe/Asia? Sucks!

  • No.

  • is this phone a touchscreen?

  • i dont know why all people here comparing windows mobile with symbian or java mobiles,o please dear dont compare them both the operating systems are diffrent so please think first before write

  • I bought it. No FM radio. It is a very good device. I am having only one issue with its SMS threaded view. It is not moving messages to the sent folder and it means the device keeps sending it again from times to times. Trying to solve it through HTC support at the moment.

  • hi do u think this one will be better than balckberry curve. thanks

  • anyone buy this phone yet? can tell me got fm radio onot?

  • Check out the HTC Snap at KLCC HTC. Feels solid and nice, priced at MYR 1,599.00 Cool. Might get this.

  • Yesterday i when to Low Yatt to look for a new phone.. i stumble to this little cute thing...HTC snap..Its good but it doesnt in package with the pouch. In future all new model should come pouch so that we dont have to look for it. some shops are selling with FREE 1G and some 4G ..how come???

  • Is this phone got fm radio?

  • HTC snap no doubt is value for money.i like this phone very much,it is almost a replica of BB bold.

  • The OS is winmo pro 6.1 standard

  • will a 6.5 upgrade be available for this device...

  • will a 6.5 upgrade be available for this device...

  • Four-hundred-and-fifty Euro !?!?!??!?!?! are you f**** kidding me?!?!

  • It only looks like a blackberry as it is a front facing qwerty hansdet. Most other companies have similar models, samsung, palm, nokia although the Snap will give them all a run for there money.

  • T-Mobile Maple

  • It looks really nice... I'm not sure, if I should take the HTC Snap or the E71. The two main differences for me are the trackball and the system software... What do you think? Is this trackball really resistant? And what about the software? Symbian or Windows mobile?

  • It's a real shame about only 2mp rather than at least a 3.2mp- otherwise I would have bought the Snap immediately. I had the S620 and it's form factor is great. E71 is excellent but the keys are a little bit small for me (though unlike the Snap at least you can create Word documents out of the box with the E71). I found the E63 easier to type on than the E71 and the E75 is ok but slightly too thick. The Bold is too big for what I need. I'm not in a great rush so I'll wait till I can get my hands on a Palm Pre or even hang on for the replacment E71 (5mp) and see if HTC can also improve their camera offering).

  • Just tried to buy it from an online store said they are not in stock at the mo had to get mine from cleverkit.com very good sim free price still looking for the accessories now anyone know where to get some other than cleverkit?

  • I respect this a good phone,but rite a copy bb bold!!!!!!!!

  • wow , we got a comedian among us :)) why don't u make like that david copperfield dude and go away, ok?

  • htc does it again. a dash only now w/ 3g. I love it. I was hoping for a new dash anyway

  • HTC Snap! Next in line are the HTC Crackle and Pop!

  • i will buy this if have 3.2 mp autofocus and have led like e63 zzz

  • the camera mobiles or waste nokia 1100 is best any one not beat 1100

  • y do ppl moan about the looks of the phone being similar to blackberry bold? to remind u guys this phone is not even a bit similar to bold ..... not in a million years. yes the camis 2MP but thats about it. the two companies are top notch competitors and and they both deliver state of the art and reliable products. either of the cases its atleast not like those main stream nokias and sony ericssons. these lot experiment with top of the line features and products (android) no other company has the balls to experiment on this scale. hats off to htc keep up the good work. i work for vodafone and i will promote ur products .........!

  • @ Anonymous - Having had experience with the BB Curve and a WinMo phone (T-Mo Dash), I'll take the WinMo device any day! There are more/better/cheaper apps available. It's easier to troubleshoot/fix. And, it's just as, if not *more*, stable. (My wife's BB locks up all the time!) And... it looks here like the Snap closes the hardware gap nicely!

  • all i can say is ...... after looking at how succesfull the blackberry bold and the curve is ...... HTC is now tryin to copy it ......srry but still will go for the bb bold !!!

  • why dont you try samsung sgh-i780?

  • I have used winmo smartphone for over 3 years running until last year, I switched to Nokia e71 for my business needs.. but really miss the simplicity of winmo smartphone when placing a call, create schedules, or even texting. At the moment, I am using blackberry bold and Nokia e71 simply because : Bold for BBM feature and Nokia e71 for browsing internet and GPS. I really hope HTC Snap will eliminate my needs for using nokia e71.. really hate the symbian design on functions such as scheduling and phone calls.

  • I have a Dash and I love it. Except for the trackball the Snap looks like it would be really cool! My wife has a BB Curve with a trackball and I *hate* that thing. It's amazing how often she needs me to clean out the crud that gets sucked into the trackball socket.

  • can someone please tell me why on earth the snap is 'entry level' and 'outdated' i have used everything iphone, bb, moto, nokia, samsung, sony.....etc...... htc wipe the floor with all of them.... the snap will rock

  • i am a huge fan of htc in general, i have used the s620 for over 30 months now although i have tried i phone 1 and 2 the blackberry and nokia smart phones as well as the truly appalling samsung omnia 900 they have always fallen well short of the htcs620...... it makes me chuckle to read the bb users comments, believe me bb is laughable in comparison to even the now ancient s620 so the snap will be leagues ahead... althought i agree the 2mp is a little dissapointing i can assure you that the 1.3mp on my s620 enables me to take photos adequate for the basis of photo montage architectural work where as the 5mp in the omnia was useless. as a business person who needs e mail, text, cam, vid, docs, pdf the s620 ticks every box apart from a bit more speed.... so i say.... thankyou htc for pausing your fruitless efforts with the god awful touch screen smart phones and improving the much loved s620....

  • looks wee bit like BlackBerry!!!!

  • i wish i could afford one HTC is really cool.

  • i wish i could afford one htc is really cool.

  • I have an S620 and love it. I've tried tons of phones and although the speed of my phone is painfully slow, the form factor is so perfect that I have not switched. This looks like it will be an amazing upgrade an I will buy it, but I do have to say that I am shocked that HTC went on the cheap with the camera. 2mp is lame and they are only hurting themselves, the WM brand and potential. What are they thinking? It's a shame to see when a company makes a bad decision that is so obvious. Who's running the show there?

  • yes

  • htc's r the best phones on this planet....believe me dude's

  • htc it's a beautifull phone , i hope to buy it one day

  • good

  • I hope it will not too expensive, while Bold, E71 are around 300-400E. HTC touch pro, diamond are about 500 or higher.

  • seems like htc have gone backwards with this one... not worth a buy!

  • HTC have really great phones ! I love you HTC

  • hope htc does not wait too long launching the snap as there seems to be a market now for it but if this comes out after the summer there will be other better alternatives.

  • htc good job. i am a qwerty phone user and am bored of the blackberry bold and all the other blackberries. they are boring phones and just got rid of my 8900 and the bold. the alternative was going to be the samsung c6625 but no wifi. the nokia e71 has the features but is lacking something that i quite cant my fingers on and i do not like symbian. The Htc snap seems to be the only alternative out there between the new qwerty phones.

  • I have the HTC S620 and I can tell you now I will continue to use HTC until they lose the plot like Nokia did a few years ago. This format to me is the best pity the only thing missing is the funky sliderbar which I loved but the trackball should be excellent.

  • My current phone is E71 and it is a complete phone for me. Does HTC snap has a built-in modem?

  • if you had 1 less IQ you would photosynthesize. im sure.

  • Because this is a business-centric phone, and Android does not support Enterprise/Professional solutions (at least not yet).

  • Well it isn't a copy. This is just the "upgrade" to the nearly ancient HTC Cavalier. I don't actually see any resemblance to the BB 9000 and 8900 though. Materials etc are different, and I think the size of the qwerty keys plus staggered layout is brilliant. If looks are the choice for qwerty smartphone buyers, I suspect that the BB's and this will cater to very different tastes. As I'm in the fashion, entertainment and advertising industries, unfortunately it has to be both abt function and form for me. I don't really like the 9000's looks and size but this (the subdued minimalist look), the 8900 (the edgy aggressive look) and e71 (the svelte almost high fashion look) were my top choices. Fortunately (since my phone died on me), my choice was made easier as the Snap isn't available yet. I opted for the E71 as its PIM and mobile office functionality surpassed that of the 8900. As much as RIM's email solutions are probably the best, a majority of companies are starting to use Microsoft Exchange servers, which means RIM's BES is just an additional cost. In the end it boils down to what each company wants. A brilliant phone for emails, but just average in other areas, or a not-quite-but-almost-there phone for email, but brilliant with all out PIM and mobile office, or one that sits in-between the two (you know my choice :p) Btw, if you haven't tried a WM Standard phone, you really need to. They are very snappy (pun intended) as compared to their WM Pro siblings. Since the hardware for the Snap is the same as CNET's fastest business-phone (the HTC Touch 3G), I suspect that the OS will be pretty darn quick.

  • i wonder why they did not try to put the android system on this phone.

  • So has HTC just gone and made their own versions of everything on the market? This thing looks just the the BlackBerry 9000 Bold, which isn't a very impressive device its got 3G which is a slight improvement over the 8900 Curve, but this phones real only improvement over a Blackberry is its 3G abilities. I wouldn't give up my 8900 for it, but I don't see this thing being some big huge upset for RIM. That and I've used the WinMo OS tons of times on Palms and a few other HTC's and I hated it. The BlackBerry's may lack some abilities just because of the OS but for what most people need it works just fine, there's a reason why RIM is a major player in the Smart Phone arena. I will admit this though, even though I'm not sold one this, HTC devices are superior to most things out there, but they're weaknesses are annoying...battery life

  • yes..and that is why YOU should post LESS and think MORE !

  • If you can't say anything intelligent please do not bother posting a comment and wasting space and people's time reading it. I am quite sure the handset name is derived by more than the camera pixels. Possibly the OEM is trying to create a catchy name based on handset functionality for branding and marketing purposes.

  • this fon can makevideo call but only got 1 cam??? serious guys,total s**t!!

  • it says HTC Snap. but the camera only 2mp.

  • Errm, why are you checking this (or any other smartphone out) if you're just a basic user??? Most of us who look at these phones, don't just call with them. I check emails, ammend documents, etc in addition to using the phone features with my smartphone.

  • Nothing wrong with BES, although that being said, it is very interesting that RIM handsets now are able to connect to Microsoft Exchange Servers (hell even the iphone is able to accept push emails from Microsoft Exchange Servers now), which shows that MS is fast posing a real threat to BES. BES is a really good system, but the actual handsets are showing their age. Their underlying menus are worse than WM. It would be interesting to see what RIM will come out with next, esp since that other than email management, WM has a much better business suite. And if you think WM is slow, have a play with the Touch 3G. It is possibly the fastest smartphone around. It's lag is similar to that of a basic phone. This has similar specs but would use even less resources as its non-touchscreen. I would say that RIM has to be very afraid of this phone.

  • Here you go :)

  • To make windows run fast it always needs more than 128mb ram, Windows is a RAM eater. my GF has an xperia wich has 256mb ram. That fone uses alot resource, only 140mb left with minor apps open. I wonder how much this fone will leave free ram

  • BB adopted,... HTC with BB taste...

  • this phone has to many buttons. Why would you need so many buttons if you need a phone to call with? I wanted to call my grandmother, so why need 40 buttons on a phone. If you leave 30 buttons, and make the phone 50 dollar cheaper than people would be quite happier. Cos the morge buttons, the faster the phone also will be defect. Or leave some buttons, and use the money for a bigger screen. All and all, we can conclude that this many buttons will only make this phone worth less. so to conclude less is more!

  • Another blackberry worshiper... dude, if you love BB so much, wtf are you doing checking out the Snap? I think you are in the wrong section... scram!!

  • Do u know where I can get the BBconnect software for WM?

  • great another WM smartphone that freezes and is slow, not to mention its lack of intuitive usability

  • For all those commenting bad about Blackberry, keep it to yourself good? Blackberry is not forcing you to buy their handset. Not everyone for christ sakes have the same tastes like you all. Bytheway it's true about BB connect u can use it, why not STILL u need a BIS or BES account to let it work properly. BB has revolutionized the way email should be sent and recieved, not to mention their BB messenger wich beats standard SMS. It's nice to PIN someone without paying the extra. No other handset beats BB push email. So stop crying wich is best,BB is for real people not for moaners..that wants everything on a handset even if a company comes with one, they still moan because of the price tag.

  • This phone has an interesting design. I really love the trackball built into this like blackberry. I hope Windows runs fast on it. This can sell well if HTC makes it a good package.

  • Yes, run 8900 run. I'm about the same size, and can do everything you can (yes with blackberry connect software WM can receive BES pushmails), with more features (i.e. 3G), and with a non-dated OS that cannot be improved upon.

  • yha! downgrade & old school!!!

  • Downgrade? Are you guys f..king blind? This litlle guy has real GPS (not only a-GPS), in this sense it means this phone is much better than its other "rivals".

  • it's more of an allternative. u, like so many others, only comment on "shalow" stuff. genious..why don't u design a better one ad shut up !

  • this phone is great i love the design. To all those that said this is a copy of blackberry or motorola Q11 just take a look at the HTC S620. This seems like a refresh of the S620 but with newer specs. Too bad this didn't come to Tmobile USA with T MObile USA 3g Capabilities. I would get rid of my G1 ASAP for this phone, I had the tmobile dash for a short period, besides the fact that it was slow and would run out of memory really quick it had a great qwerty.

  • blackberry copycat! what a shame. can all the rest of the manufacturer be more creative and give us, the consumer a better choice!

  • i personally found htc had a big issue with the flash feature of the camera a 2 mp camera is no good that too without the flash POOR Regard' Cooljoker

  • What? You mean that horrible, disgusting q11 thing?

  • hey this phone is copy from moto q11 but alittle beter design and low features than q11 i perefer to use my excellent q11 and next think about a3100

  • It's a downgraded Samsung i780, and almost two years later !!(smaller display, no 3.5mm jack, slower processor), only the battery life (perhaps) slightly improved

  • A good rival to the latest Blackberrys. Its a sure winner as it will be priced reasonably.

  • HTC, are you making phones for Blackberry now? XPERIA X1, for Sony was a step-up from the TYTN II, will this be a step-up from the Blackberry 9000?

  • At last, BlackBerry wake up, this is what users want from a Bold 9000. Add a SIP client and Adobe FLASH then you to will have a perfect phone.

  • No touch screen? select + copy + paste is great with touch screen ^^ It's not Bold... Bold have nicer design. But Bold doesnt have WM ^^ Yes! I'm WM user...

  • this is bold?

  • This is absolutely the phone that I've been waiting for from HTC. Gotta get it!

  • Great looks....hope pricing is resonable.

  • You mean expensive os that is limiting the screen to 65k colours.

  • lol still use 65k colour lol expensive os with cheap features lol

  • This is a very nice phone. Looks awesome, way much beautiful than E71 or Blackberry Bold & 8900. Has and advantage over E71 in the sense that this beauty has a higher processor and higher ram. Blackberry sucks in the sense that u need to have a BIS account to access ur mail. WinMo doesnt have those limitations. spec wise it has all the stuff, that E71 or 8900 has. will. it packs both wifi and gps. and as far as camera is concerned, htc has fine camera quality.

  • average phone with average spec hope its got an average price tag....

  • This looks just like a blackberry, and i truly cant blame HTC for going for a more BB look. The Bold and the 8900 have done great buisness!!! and if i was to assume anything is that they are throwing their hand into a open face full qwrty with a good email system. although i dont know if anyone will be able to do emails quite as good as blackberry, a very cool phone though

  • People shouldn't stress the 2MP thing. Nokia's E71 has 3.2MP and its sucks. Iphone has 2MP ans is way better than the 3.2MP from the Nokia's E71

  • It's a WM Professional ?? I think it's a WM Standar.. anyway.. it's a WM.. nice!

  • I don't think it's meant to compete directly with the Bold and the E71... This is more of an entry level device... Looks very nice and the specs sheet, although not impressive, seems to be sufficient for this type of device!

  • Not bad. I wonder why them not like it.

  • Great Looking Phone...Itz gonna be hard to sell tho..lots of comp...but depending on the $tag and carrier it cud do well...Camera not up to par

  • i couldn't agree more. but i think this will sell based on looks more than its features. the phone is exceedingly beautiful!

  • if this had been released a year ago i think it would have sold well, but with the nokia e71, blackberry bold and 8900 around, it's already dated.
