Sprint offering HTC Snap starting on June 21
























Yesterday Sprint confirmed that it will begin selling its own version of the HTC Snap smartphone starting on June 21. The Snap is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition powered device that features an offset full QWERTY keyboard, a QVGA resolution display set in a landscape orientation, and support for Sprint's high-speed 3G EV-DO network.

Unlike the GSM/UMTS version of the HTC Snap, however, the Sprint version, officially known as the S511, features a conventional d-pad controller instead of a BlackBerry-like trackball. The layout of the control cluster has also changed, and the QWERTY keyboard, while still offering offset keys, features a very different look.

The HTC S511 Snap for Sprint will be available for US$150 after rebates when purchased with a new two-year agreement. BestBuy.com is also offering the device for US$519 contract-free.
