14 DAY TRIAL // HTC announced not too long ago the release of its Windows Mobile-based HTC Snap QWERTY device, and we have already learned that a handful of mobile phone carriers plan to add it to their offerings, including Sprint (which launched it) and Verizon, which will have it as HTC Ozone starting July 13. While some images with the handset for Verizon surfaced in the wild, today we see that new photos are available.
For what it's worth, the Verizon Wireless version of HTC Snap was recently officially unveiled, yet leaked information on it continued to surface, and now we have an idea of what the phone will actually look like, and of what capabilities it should come with. Moreover, the new leak brings to the display a quick-start guide, so we can easily say the only thing that remains to be done is for the handheld to hit store shelves.
While previous rumors on the pricing of the device pointed towards a $119.99 price tag with a two-year contract agreement and a possible $70 mail-in rebate, now it seems that the mail-in rebate will actually be there, so those willing to purchase the handset should take this into consideration as well. According to WMExperts, Big Red will have the phone at only $49.99, which is quite unexpected, given the fact that Sprint sells it for $149.99 on contract.
A recently leaked document from Verizon shows the pricing for the handset, and states that the $119.99 cost does not include the $70 mail-in rebate. Hopefully, the guys from WMExperts made the calculations right and the low price tag will prove real.
In the meantime, we should underline that the above mentioned document also shows a $189.99 price with a one-year contract, as well as the $429.99 full retail price. Stay tuned to learn more details on this.
