HTC — Something for Everyone

It looks like HTC is trying very hard to satisfy your need for mobile devices by adding another great looking device into the fray.  So you want a QWERTY keyboard and you want a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard device?  HTC has the solution with the HTC S740.  Very similar to the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, this device features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard as well as a numerical keyboard.  Very slick and it most definitely gets those device envy juices flowing!

It’s a comfortable size (116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm) with a  2.4″ QVGA screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera for those that want to have the ability to snap that great shot while on the go.  A feature I am really liking is a built-in FM radio when you just have that need to listen to something other than what is on you collection of tunes.

More information will be coming soon but here the list of specs to glance at:

      I’m really liking this phone alot and as far as I can see the only downer is the QVGA screen. I mean I don’t think they needed to drop a vga screen in there but 320 by 480 would have been nice (that’s the same as the iPhone). Does Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard support more than just 240×320?

      Could this be the Tilt 3?

    • Neil

      Both the 8525 and the Tilt were Windows Mobile Pro devices (touchscreen), I can’t see a Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen) phone replace it. As of right now the Touch Pro is the “new Tilt” at least in my eyes.

      I agree with the above poster: once you have touchscreen you can’t go back.

      To me this is a beautiful phone, but it is so long.
      It seems almost too big for pocket comfort.
      I would love to hold one though.
