Info Sync World has posted a HTC Snap’s Review, this  review includes Desig, Calling, Messaging and Keyboard, Scheduling and Productivity, Web browsing, Music, Camera, Value and so on.

The following section is the review of the web browsing.

"The HTC Snap ships with Microsoft’s newest mobile Web browser, Internet Explorer 6. Sure, that may be 2 versions behind the desktop, but IE6 on Windows Mobile 6.1 (so-called 6 on 6) worked fairly well, and was a significant upgrade over the older version that used to ship on Windows Mobile phones. If you’ve been burned by Web browsing on Windows Mobile in the past, rest assured that Internet Explorer 6 is now capable of rendering Web pages that look accurate compared to their desktop companions. It wasn’t perfect, and some advanced layouts and functions didn’t show up properly on the HTC Snap. The browser uses Flash Lite for video and multimedia, but Flash ran so slowly on the Snap that we were only able to listen to our favorite YouTube videos, as they played too slowly to be watchable. There are certainly much better Web browsing phones on the market, but IE6 is a significant step up from the last generation of WinMo Web browsers."

 Via Flash Mobile Blog,  Flash is a significant part of the Web. Although the iPhone has shown a device can be successful without Flash support, the arrival of Flash for Android will be a useful boost for the open-source platform’s acceptance by consumers.

Today’s launch of the HTC Hero in London marks the debut of the first Android smartphone with Adobe’s Flash, as the graphics company gears up for this fall’s wider release of Flash for mobile operating systems. But Adobe had little good news for Apple fans wanting to see the iPhone also get the multimedia technology, Flash on Android supports ActionScript 2.0, whereas ActionScript 3.0 was introduced in 2006 with Flash Player 9.

HTC also announced it joined the Open Screen Project, an industry group created to advance Flash technology and headed by Adobe.

"As the first Android device with Flash, the new HTC Hero represents a key milestone for Android and the Flash Platform," David Wadhwani, vice president, Platform Business Unit at Adobe, said in a statement. "With close to 80 percent of all videos online delivered with Adobe Flash technology, consumers want to access rich Web content on-the-go. The collaboration with HTC offers people a more complete Flash based Web browsing experience today and presents an important step toward full Web browsing with Flash Player 10 on mobile phones in the future."
