Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
Yeah, I really like the look of this. Could never use a non-touchscreen device or one without Office App editing but it does look nice. Mind you, there are lots of nice looking devices around at the moment and I can't afford any of them

Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
oooh - very nice indeed!
Now if they made a Professional edition - with touchscreen, QWERTY pad AND T9/phone pad that would be smart :P (with a VGA or WVGA screen the size of Kaiser at least)... dreaming... dreaming... dreaming...

Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
It does look nice, but to me it would be much better if they ditched the large hardware keyboard and made full use of the one on the front of the device.

Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
This does look very sexy, about time the smartphones started getting a facelift I think..

Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
I do like it, in fact there is a video made by Clove here... Only one comment, it looks longer than the S730...

Re: New HTC S740 Smartphone coming soon
It looks a LOT longer than a 730 but not cumbersome.
Does look tempting....
