Sprint customers have been able to puck up the HTC Snap from Besy Buy since early last week for $520 without contract. Speculation around the web was that Sprint didn’t want to launch any new phones too close to the Palm Pre’s release date so that nothing overshadowed it. Fortunately, Sprint customers can now get their Snap on. The HTC Snap is available in all sprint stores and on their website for $149.99 if you’re willing to sign a new contract. I’m actually a bit surprised that Sprint would let you walk out the store with the phone for $399.99 without a contract since Best Buy thought that $520 was a better price. The HTC Snap sports a 2.0MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6.1, full QWERTY keyboard, and HTC’s InnerCircle.
