@Mike,

Good points and it is a little hard for us to measure the battery unload-curves. To measure a difference you would require both a Snap and a Dash 3G to measure the effects of the impact of the ROM. Unfortunately Samsung hasn’t a European version of the Jack … ;o)

However this is a totally different discussion, and let me put this very clear. You did a great comparison, which if very informative if you need to make a device choice.

I still do consider the Samsung BlackJack and the BlackJack II in my alltime favourites list, with the HTC S620 on the #1 spot.

@Remo – Fair enough. The device I used for this is the T-Mobile Dash 3G. However, I don’t think the changes between the Dash 3G and the Snap are that significant. The memory, processor, battery capacity, track ball, etc.. are exactly the same.

The differences between these two models are mostly cosmetic. Granted, T-Mobile has preloaded some different applications, but I don’t see anything that will greatly impact battery life or performance.

I think the title of the article might be a little misleading, since it is not a REAL HTC Snap vs Samsung Jack showdown.

The main argument for that is that T-Mobile has done a great deal of customizations to the devices, which certainly could have effects on the overall device-speed and batterylife ?

I might be a little biased, because the HTC Snap is my primary device, but I did a short comparison between the HTC Snap and the T-Mobile Dash 3G: http://www.mobilityminded.com/3569/t-mobile-dash-3g-reviewed-on-mobile-jaw

I bet even the HTFC folks would prefer say the Touch Pro 2 and Hero to this guy. Then again, those probably are considered higher end devices.

I would agree – the Jack is a much more elegant device. However, the level of attractive-ness is hard to judge. What one person considers to be a pretty device, another could say it was ugly. So I wanted to keep looks out of the scoring because I’m sure HTC would argue otherwise.

The Jack is much more elegant looking. It’s hard to quantify that, but enough to overcome other stuff. Not that it had to based on your score.
