Comparison
One of the new features on Mac OS X El Capitan is Split View. This is similar to the Windows 10 Snap View where you can place two apps in full screen. You can actually snap up to four apps in Windows 10, but we'll just use two apps in this comparison to make it fair. Watch our video!
Well, this one snuck under our radar.Sprint released an software update for the HTC Snap last month. Last month being July. The software provides several enhancements to the Snap including resolving issues where the Snap gets stuck in vibrate mode and does not save ringtone settings. You can download the software update over at HTC's Support Site. Thanks goes out to member...
If you are rockin’ an HTC Touch Pro2 (or one of the many carrier variants), chances are you are a power user when it comes to Windows Phones. For myself, the Touch Pro2 is the perfect form factor for a Windows Phone. The massive high- resolution screen, spacious QWERTY keyboard, in a fairly thin phone is the perfect balance of features and portability. When it comes to power users,...
Headline pretty much says it all here. TMoNews has it on good authority that updates to Windows Mobile 6.5 for the Touch Pro 2 and Dash 3G (aka the HTC Snap) will be coming on Jan. 20 (after that rumored Jan. 6 date came and went). Here's exactly what they heard:Touch Pro2 and Dash 3GOn January 20, the Windows Mobile 6.5 software upgrade will be available for customers with the T-Mobile...
Well, speak of the devil. We were just lamenting how devices like the Ozone have seemingly been left out of the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade fest, without even a release-window scheduled.And soon after that we get word that XDA member udK has posted the shipping upgrade ROM for the Ozone (v2.16.605.15) How convenient! (See our full review of the Ozone here)Running WM6.5 build 21845 and...
This is actually been at this price for about a month now, but it was news to us, so perhaps news to you.If you're looking for a cheap and halfway decent Windows starter phone, the Snap is completely free at Best Buy (down from $149, then $99) with a 2-year contract. See our full review for a refresh.We'd say the phone is about worth that with a 2 year contract and it's actually a fun...
Another of HTC's finest has been updated to Windows Mobile 6.5, and this time it's the Telestra version of the Snap. The upgrade is free and available on HTC's Aussie site.Via Smartphone Thoughts
Hot on the heels of the Sprint Treo Pro's custom ROM comes one for the Sprint Snap, a device which I love and hate (hint: the KB drives me nuts).As usual, credit goes to those mavericks at XDA. Specifically jockyw2001, who did the HardSPL to unlock the ROM and ookba who brings a beautiful WM6.5 custom job with all sorts of goodies loaded up.It's a pretty basic install:Run HardSPLRun...
For those of you rocking the original HTC Touch Pro on Sprint, and we know there are plenty of you out there, an official ROM update was recently released. Here's what you get:TouchFlo 3D updated to improve speed and stability.Dialer application enhanced to improve the handling of incoming calls.Resolves an issue using the “r” and “w” keys on the virtual keypad.Improves contact...
The Verizon HTC Ozone (Cedar) is the answer to the aging Motorola Q9 series and fits in nicely with Verizon's revamped and full-featured Windows Mobile lineup. The phone is a sister device to the HTC Snap but differs from that model in significant and beneficial ways. I've had the chance to use the device extensively ever since the quick hands-on report weeks ago. In short, Verizon...
That the HTC Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 will be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't really news. HTC CEO Peter Chou spilled the beans on that one before WinMo 6.5 was even announced. But we are learning that the Snap also will be graced with the upgrade, and HTC will make the upgrades available for all three phones on the Oct. 6 Super Duper Windows Mobile 6.5 launch day.That said...
Just a few days ago we gained the ability to flash custom ROMs to the HTC Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile. Now comes an unlocker for the Verizon Ozone, aka the HTC Cedar.Note that this DOES NOT work with Maple-based devices such as the Sprint Snap and T-Mobile Dash 3G. In fact, says XDA creator jockyw2001, "Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it." So, there. If you do want to...
We told you they were coming, and indeed they have. The HTC Snap and Touch Pro 2 are now available on Canadian network Telus. In exchange for signing away three years of your cellular life, you get the Snap for free; the Touch Pro 2 will cost you $249.99. [via BGR]HTC Snap on TelusHTC Touch Pro 2 on Telus
Uh oh. Looks like there's a bit of a price war brewing around the HTC Snap, and that's good news for you, the consumer. See, first Sprint released its version for $149.99. Then came Verizon with the Ozone at $49.99. Tough to beat that (and Malatesta's been raving about it for days now.)Now it looks like Microsoft and T-Mobile have teamed up to lower the Dash 3G — which remains true to...
Yeah, it's pretty tough to beat the $49.99 Verizon Ozone, which is VZW's contribution to the HTC Snap line. But Canada's Telus network has done it. The Telus Snap is running $29.99 at Canadian Best Buys. Of course, that's with the Canadian standard three-year plan, and Verizon and Telus aren't in some international, cross-border competition, so we're kinda talking apples and oranges...
So last we checked in we went over the Sprint version of the HTC Snap (hands on; review), which while a pretty solid WM6.1 Standard device, it did have quite a few annoyances (cough, keyboard, cough). Lo and behold, the Verizon version (called the Ozone for some reason) is like a dream come true. It's as if someone waved their hand and magically fixed all the boneheaded problems with...
The headline just about says it all here. And as you can see from the above picture, the HTC Snap and Touch Pro 2 are on a rebate form from U.S. Cellular, getting customers $70 off each phone.No word on full price or release date.Via Boy Genius Report
Looks like the wait for the T-Mobile Dash 3G (aka the HTC Snap) is finally over as the phone has gone live on the carrier's Web site [via] and also is available in stores today. (For some reason the Web site didn't have the image of the phone, so we added ours. We're helpful like that.)The Dash 3G will cost you $169.99 after contract and "instant discount." Just a reminder that that's $...
At this point, there's very little about the T-Mobile Dash 3G that we don't know. Let's recap:We've seen it officially announced.We've seen in in video. Twice.We've seen the official specs.We've seen the party invitations.We've seen it promoted. We also expect it to run about $170 after contract. At this point, about the only thing we don't know is the actual launch date. Could be...
We've been pining for an over-the-air ability to update Windows Mobile firmware for quite some time now. From the introduction of Windows Update in WM6, which has never been used, to the promises of Windows Mobile 7, this feature has been on the cusp of being a reality for far too long.Interestingly on the HTC Sprint Snap if you look under Settings --> Device Management, you can see...
