Sprint HTC Snap S511
May 3, 2009
With the recent deluge of iPhone and Palm Pre news, it’s not too surprising that many of you have forgotten about some of the devices from HTC, one of them which is the HTC Snap. It seems that the device will be dubbed the HTC Snap S511, and Sprint is reportedly testing the device, indicating that it might be launched by mid-Summer. Of course, there is no confirmation of such a timeline, but keep your fingers crossed, and who knows, maybe we’ll see the phone released real soon. 
Samsung Trance
May 2, 2009
This week Samsung’s Trance made an entrance into the list of the top music phones. With Bang & Olufsen’s ICEPower technology, the Trance also has 3D sound effects that provide wide, dynamic, and surround sound.
All that and the Trance is pretty easy on the eyes as well, with a silhouette like that of a violin’s, and a lovely glossy piano black surface. We even liked the touch-sensitive navigation, though we would’ve preferred a more tactile experience. It also has stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5-mm headset jack, which are great to have on a music phone. Our only gripe is that the Trance does not offer EV-DO, and therefore does not allow over-the-air download of music via V Cast Music. The only way to get music onto it is via a USB cable to the PC. But for only $49.99 with a two-year service agreement, that’s not too bad.
