Recently, the market has been flooded with devices running on the Windows Mobile Professional operating system. Of course there’s nothing wrong with that, but let’s not forget the Windows Mobile Standard smartphones, such as the HTC S740.As a successor to the S730, the S740 sports a full QWERTY keyboard and a classic numeric keypad. This way, your ordinary-looking phone can easily turn into a handy messaging device with a single motion of your finger. When it comes to specifications the S740 is better than its predecessor in every respect; it is equipped with a faster processor, more RAM, better camera and so on. But as you know, it’s not only the specifications that determine whether a phone is worth it. So let’s take a look at how well it performs.
Design: The appearance of the S740 is in unison with HTC’s new design language , with a flat front and a diamond-like back. Unfortunately, the smooth and shiny surfaces are a real fingerprint magnet and we have the feeling that even thinking about the S740 is going to cause more fingerprints on it. When closed, it looks very much like an ordinary phone; however, its dimensions are rather interesting. First, we have to note that it’s longer than the Touch HD- no kidding- but on the other hand its width is completely normal, which makes it look even longer. This obviously isn’t the smallest HTC QWERTY smartphone, but at least it isn’t too thick at16.3 mm, making it easy to fit in a pocket. Keep in mind that it weighs 4.94 oz (140 grams), so it’s definitely going to keep you aware of its presence with every step.
