HTC Snap\u2122 makes staying in touch with more people less complicated<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

HTC\u2019s newest QWERTY smartphone features \u201cInner Circle\u201d
\nto automatically prioritize email from life\u2019s most important people<\/em><\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS \u2013 April 1, 2009<\/strong> \u2013 HTC Corporation today debuted its newest QWERTY smartphone, the HTC Snap\u2122. Designed with a set of features selected to deliver everything customers need without overwhelming them with things they don\u2019t, the HTC Snap makes it easier than ever to stay in contact with life\u2019s most important people. <\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent study conducted by Harris Interactive\u00ae and commissioned by HTC* found that 44% of US adults are often overwhelmed by the amount of email they receive, and over half (55%) of US adults prioritize five or fewer people with whom they communicate via email. In response to these issues, HTC\u2019s innovative 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecognizing that people are being overwhelmed by an avalanche of email, the HTC Snap introduces Inner Circle, an HTC innovation that makes it easy for people to prioritize messages from the most important people in their lives at the press of a button,\u201d said John Wang, Chief Marketing Officer, HTC Corporation. \u201cThe HTC Snap represents the latest step in HTC\u2019s mission to create a range of innovative smartphones, each with specific benefits designed to both surprise and delight our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a slim, sleek profile designed to fit perfectly in the hand, the HTC Snap measures less than a half-inch thick (12 mm), yet it can deliver up to eight and a half hours of talk time with the standard 1500mAh battery. The full QWERTY keyboard is ergonomically designed with extra-large domed keys and responsive tactile feedback to make typing emails and text messages fast, accurate and comfortable. High-speed 3G HSPA connectivity makes it quick and easy to send pictures to friends, access favorite social networking sites, or download large files while on the go.<\/p>\n

The HTC Snap is powerful enough for experienced business users looking for an affordable, straightforward choice for remotely synchronizing email, calendar and contacts with their Microsoft Exchange server. However, the flexible Microsoft Windows Mobile\u00ae 6.1 Standard platform allows the HTC Snap to also be simple enough for first-time smartphone users wanting to keep their family life organized.<\/p>\n

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. Additionally, an unlocked version supporting HSDPA at 850\/1900MHz for the US market will be made available under the name HTC S522 during the summer.<\/p>\n
