HTC S740 WM6.1 Smartphone Review feature
After the runaway success of the Touch HD, HTC offered us another smartphone to try out. If the HD was all about superlative media, the HTC S740 takes us back to smartphone basics: no touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, and a hardware QWERTY keyboard. A step backwards or one in the right direction? SlashGear set to finding out.
First impressions are very good: the S740 is sturdy and solid, with a weighty, quality feel in the hand. It’s undeniably a thick device - overall measurements are 4.6 x 1.7 x 0.7 inches and 5oz in weight - and that could be a deal-breaker for some, but it has a slender build and a pleasingly soft-touch faceted rear panel.
Underneath the back panel (which is surprisingly tough to remove) sits the 1,000mAh battery and, after you remember to thread the cord through a tiny hole in the panel itself, a lanyard hook, but no SIM or memory card slots. These, instead, are stacked under a pop-up panel on the reverse side of the sliding top section.
