HTC unveils QWERTY smartphone
High Tech Computer (HTC) has debuted its newest QWERTY smartphone, the HTC Snap, at the ongoing CTIA Wireless 2009 trade fair held in Las Vegas. Built using a Qualcomm MSM 7225 528MHz processor, the HTC Snap has memory of 256MB ROM and 192MB RAM, and supports the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 and high-speed 3G HSPA connectivity.
The HTC Snap measures less than a half-inch thick (12mm), yet it can deliver up to eight and a half hours of talk time with the standard 1500mAh battery. The full QWERTY keyboard is designed with extra-large domed keys, allowing to make typing emails and text messages accurate and comfortable.
The HTC Snap is expected to be available in select channels during the second quarter of 2009, rolling out in markets around the world throughout the second half of the year. An unlocked version supporting HSDPA at 850/1900MHz for the US market will be made available under the name HTC S522 during the summer.
Citing a recent study conducted by Harris Interactive, HTC said that 44% of US adults are often overwhelmed by the amount of email they receive, and 55% of US adults prioritize five or fewer people with whom they communicate via email. In response to these issues, HTC's Inner Circle feature allows HTC Snap users to press a dedicated Inner Circle key to bring emails from a preselected group of people to the top of their inbox, enabling important messages to be acted upon immediately.
