The meeting with HTC provided us the first look on HTC’s new S740 Windows Mobile Standard powered smartphone. This HSDPA 3G capable device builds on the non-touchscreen slide-out keyboard design we first saw with HTC’s S710. The S740, however, offers a much larger keyboard with 4 rows of keys, giving it a serious edge over the old models in terms of usability.
The software in the S740 seems quite responsive, but in spite of the device’s Diamond-esque look, the user interface lacks the gloss and polish that we see in the TouchFLO 3D system running on the newer touchscreen equipped smartphones from HTC. Overall, the phone looks very much to be running standard Windows Mobile 6.1 software. The screen that it all runs on is very crisp, though, which we liked.
The S740 is scheduled to be available for purchase across Europe later this month. Still no word on pricing, though.
