I must say its a brillant set. I work for an MNC & due to huge work pressures etc, this set keeps me updated & never lets me down. Good quality set & having nice features. I must recommend this phone for mature & sober age class. Its not something for teen agers.

Directly to Nelly.you seem to have time to write a nonsensical and tedious message from an imbecile person.what you indicated here is not amplicable to me at all.i guess you got the phone as a birthday gift.lol.before you purchase a phone you must do a thorough research,as i indicated you didn't do that.every phone has its own weakness because they were fabricated by imperfect being.even that phone you and i can have in our mind to be the best it has weaknesses.you might argue snap is an old phone,what about new phones MW7 with limited memory and inches.a terrible phone is that one that has a default from the manufactor like most of nokia phones(no wonder).LOL.i detest people who criticise that which they have or own,as if they were forced to be given it.GOOGLE NEXUS ONE here i come.Crazy fan of htc Irrespectively

I got this phone 3 months ago as an upgrade from a Nokia E66 and must say, I am disappointed. As far as the business capabilities of the phone are concerned, especially email, it’s awesome, but thats really all there is.
The Microsoft office suite loaded on the phone does not enable you to write any documents, only read them (and this is a functionality I used quite frequently on the E66). You would think that to compensate for the inability to write Word documents, the Snap would then at least have a basic Notes functionality…WRONG! I’ve had to resort to typing numerous draft sms’s to try overcome this most basic of failures.
Added to that, the fact that you basically can’t use the speakerphone function if a call comes in after your phone has locked is also a HUGE negative. You have to tell the person on the other line to hold on while you take the phone away from your ear, press the ’unlock’ button, type in your unlock code, press ok, then only press the speakerphone function..with today’s fast paced lifestyle, this process really proves to be more than annoying.
Another thing that a user of this phone (who in this case unfortunately happens to be me) must get used to, is that there are no “Exit” or “close” buttons on any of the applications on this phone. When you are done with something, you either select the back arrow repeatedly until you get back to the home screen or you press the home button..either way the applications you had open are left running in the background chowing your onboard memory without you realizing it. Sure enough there is a “Task Manager” functionality which you can use to shutdown the background processes, but would an exit button on each application really have been so bad?? I think not.
The 2 megapixel camera makes this phone unsuitable if you ever plan to take good quality high resolution photo’s. I guess the assumption held by HTC when developing this phone is that people who buy smartphones don’t do so for the great photo’s they can take, right? True only if you walk around with your digital camera in your purse as backup.
I find folder navigation also a bit tedious and have battled sometimes to locate where things I downloaded saved to on the phone.
Verdict – if all you need is a phone that makes and receives calls (with some difficulty) and has a great email functionality, and not much else, Snap’s your man. Not being able to do something as easy as writing my grocery list on the phone has really made it second best in my books.
Good luck to any of you who buy it.

so amidst all this gist about htc snap being this and that...would someone be constructive enough to advice me or any other person who might be interested in getting the phone on how good the phone is in terms of its browsing capabilities(push mails and stuff),how is ts network reception and handling,audio clarity ,multitaskabilty...etc...rather than y'all bickering ang bitting 'bout whole place...haaaa!

Hi, I am new to mobile phone, bought the HTC snap 3 days ago, playing around it, which I got lot of fun ,using GPS and Wi-Fi.
The problem is I don't knowwhere to find some app to download like Andriod?
Visit window market, only see a few programs, and most of them are not free, any other page?
thanks if any help.
