Forget, for a tiny moment, all those sleek sexy smartphones currently enticing gadget candy fans everywhere. Because sometimes, it pays to keep things simple. Hence the rather neat HTC Snap. There’s no touchscreen here, no unique, Apple–bashing design...

A new iPhone 3Gs or Nokia N97 is nice; but let’s face it these phones are in a specific price bracket, one that isn't exactly budget friendly. HTC’s new Snap is their new entry level Windows Mobile based smartphone, and as far as we’re concerned it’s a...
