HTC Snap. Not great. But not half bad

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.
