Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Mobility Minded has posted a very detailed review on the HTC Snap. It looks like the successor to the Excalibur/Dash packs quite a punch with Windows Mobile 6.1 and a blazing Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor, running at 528 MHz. Also noteworthy is the 1500 mAh battery, which should give you up to 2 days of use without needing to charge up the Snap.

The device also features HTC’s Inner Circle, which acts as a “smart e-mail filter.” The Snap includes a dedicated Inner Circle key — as well as dedicated camera and MSN Messenger (for Mobile) keys

The video below gives a brief tutorial of the Inner Circle functionality.
