The Snap isn’t going to win any awards for innovation, looks or, well, it’s just not going to win any awards at all if we’re honest. But then not everyone wants to be a celebrity, or a superstar sports player. Some people want the things in life that are solid, reliable, and that fit in your pocket… Okay, that last example doesn’t apply to everything but that’s one area where the HTC Snap does impress. It’s far slimmer and lighter than most of its competitors (at only 120 grams, and measuring only 116.5 X 61.5 X 12.0mm), so whether you’re a top jacket pocket, inside briefcase pocket or even trouser pocket kind of guy/woman, this phone is going to slot in there comfortably.

So it doesn’t have fancy graphics capabilities like the iPhone 3G S. But it does have a lovely clicks-to-the-touch full Qwerty keypad. So the Snap might not be as pretty as the Nokia E71, but it does have a little bit of brushed metal for the menu keys and those curves are pretty sleek. So it only has a 2MP camera, it’s not a camera, it’s a phone! It also has bluetooth 2.0, an impressive 1500mAh Li-Ion battery, video recording and a microSD card slot. And there is, of course, a good chance you’re going to pick one of these up in a pretty tasty deal compared to its flashier cousins in the business- and smart-phone market.

So go on, embrace average, spurn the ostentatious, sign up for the HTC Snap today. It might not impress everyone, but chances are it’s going to do everything you need it to, and do it for a long time to come.

Check out an HTC Snap review here for more specs and details, and if you’ve time have a little look at the video from a recent sales conference in America.

Undoubtedly the best display I have ever seen on a smart phone. The HTC Touch Pro 2 is outstanding – hardware and graphics alike. A 3.6-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution, glows bright and clear. And when I turn on the HTC Touch Pro 2 , the start up menu reminds me of the future. Okay, so that sounds lame, but really, I am wowed beyond words. I’ve seen iphones and I’ve seen other phones, but this one is brilliant. Plus it tilts…I mean it is adjustable so that you can look at it from all angles.

The TouchFLO 3D interface that the HTC Touch Pro 2 uses is perfect for the Windows Mobile Interface, but really, it looks nothing like windows, that is, it looks way better and works just the same. TouchFLO focuses on increasing usabillity and making navigation more intuitive. It is super finger friendly, giving the user instant access to messaging, people, email, photos, music and the daily weather. The zoom bar at the bottom of the screen is touch sensitive too – it allows you to zoom in and out of photos and webpages.

I’ve been on about the official overview graphics and the screen, but it really is worth mentioning that the phone also has a stellar microphone and speaker system for call conferencing. It also makes the actual calling process much easier and streamlined. The other specs of the HTC are pretty good too – almost unlimited memory and room for an SD card, mini USB, bluetooth and WLAN enabled, stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3 player and TV out. I know it’s designed as a business phone, but I just want to play with it. I still need to look into the battery life. It is improved from the previous version, and improvements are always a good thing. I hope it will hold up with all the use that I intend to put it through.
