HTC introduces the Snap
HTC has unveiled the successor to the Excalibur smartphone, which they are calling the Snap, or S522. This full QWERTY device has a trackball where you would usually find the directional pad on most HTC phones and a new feature button called the “inner circle”. This green circle button will instantly bring up your emails from your chosen most important contacts.
Launched at CTIA 2009 the device features a non-touchscreen QVGA (320×240) display and dedicated buttons for email and messaging. Release is expected in the summer under both European and North American GSM frequencies. The Snap looks like a nice slim all around device being less than half an inch thick and featuring 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, MicroSDHC and a 2MP camera. It is powered by a Qualcomm 528mhz processor with 256mb ROM and 128mb RAM.
