T-Mobile Butchers Snap's Inner Circle Feature

Video above depicts the Inner Circle feature, which will be removed from the device on T-Mobile if rumors are correct.


The good news is that the HTC Snap will be coming to T-Mobile this summer. The bad news is that the awesome HTC QWERTY device will be stripped of the Inner Circle feature from the unlocked HTC version once it hits T-Mobile in the States.

Inner Circle is an email messaging feature that displays only the messages from designated contacts to eliminate all the "email noise" in your inbox. When you hit the Inner Circle button, the HTC Snap will display only emails from a select group, like work or family, and keep you focused.

According to WMExperts, the Inner Circle feature will be removed. A user has stripped the ROM image of the T-Mobile version. That ROM image shows no files for the Inner Circle feature. In its stead, T-Mobile will include an audio postcard feature, a function similar to MMS, or multimedia messaging service, that allows users to snap a picture and send it with an audio clip to your intended recipient. Moreover, the device is known internally as the T-Mobile Captain. It will probable be re-named and branded the Dash II or Dash 3G when released by the carrier.

WMExperts also released a dizzying startup screen for the T-Mobile Captain as posted below, which is sure to induce epileptic seizures.
