HTC SNAP™ MAKES STAYING IN TOUCH WITH MORE PEOPLE EASIER

HTC’s newest QWERTY smartphone features “Inner Circle” to automatically prioritise email from life’s most important people.

Auckland, New Zealand - HTC Corporation announced its newest QWERTY smartphone, the HTC Snap™. Designed with a set of features selected to deliver everything customers need without overwhelming them with things they don’t, the HTC Snap makes it easier than ever to stay in contact with life’s most important people.

HTC’s innovative new feature called “Inner Circle”, 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.

“Nowadays people are being overwhelmed by an avalanche of emails,” said Anthony Petts, Sales and Marketing Director ANZ, HTC Corporation. “We are excited to introduce Inner Circle, a key feature on the HTC Snap that makes it easy for people to prioritise messages from the most important people in their lives at the press of a button.”

“The HTC Snap represents the latest step in HTC’s mission to create a range of innovative smartphones, each with specific benefits designed to both surprise and delight our customers.”

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.

Paul Hamburger, Telecom Director of Mobile, says Telecom NZ is pleased to offer its customers the HTC Snap on their new XT mobile network.

“It has all the features of a smartphone you need without being complicated to use – ideal for keeping mobile professionals connected on the go,” says Mr Hamburger.

The HTC Snap is powerful enough for experienced business users looking for an affordable, straightforward choice for remotely synchronising email, calendar and contacts with their Microsoft Exchange server, yet simple and flexible enough for first-time smartphone users wanting to keep their family life organised.
