Ah – the glorious HTC Snap. Those of us who appreciate a really good keyboard and fantastic one-handed usability are pretty stoked for the upcoming HTC device. It’s scheduled to land in Europe sometime next month, with a US release on various carriers starting this summer with T-Mobile.

As seen in this video from Tracy and Matt, the pre-release version of the Snap looks very Excalibur/Cavalier-like with a compact form factor, great keyboard, and rubbery coating. Also, the trackball looks to allow for easy up/down/left/right navigation. Besides that, the reviewer spends some time going through the sliding panel interface, which has been added to with weather and internet favorites, much like the HTC S743.
