The HTC Snap, recently unveiled at CTIA Wireless (and unofficially a little before then), has leaped majestically across the FCC hurdles bearing the MAPL100 monicker (i.e. Maple) and, according to the paperwork, should work hunky-dory on T-Mobile’s network. Previous rumours had pointed to a T-Mobile adoption, but the state of the Snap’s signature Inner Circle feature remains in limbo. Hopefully it will still make the cut, because besides that, the Windows Mobile-running Snap is little more than a BlackBerry knock-off. Hit up the FCC filings for a closer look.
