HTC S740 Fully QWERTY Slider Cell Phone [HTC Touch Diamond Inspired iPhone Killer]

HTC have taken the wraps off what has to be one of the most deliciously
gorgeous cell phones we've come across - and one which, we might add,
certainly in our opinion, makes the iPhone look positively dull - in the
form of the new, uber sexy HTC S740.

Boasting a design overtly inspired by HTC's equally desirable Touch
Diamond, the HTC S740, which is billed as 'smartphone communication
beyond the practical' takes the form of a candy bar handset with sliding
QWERTY keyboard and features a 2.4' QVGA screen, a Qualcomm MSM7225
processor running at 528MHz running Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard and, in
Europe at least, offers HSDPA/WCDMA 900/2100 MHz connectivity allowing
for internet browsing at speeds of up to an impressive 7.2 Mbps.

Due to become available in Europe from next month at the time of writing
HTC are yet to release pricing details concerning theย HTC S740 but,
personally, I fully intend to be one of the first in the queue when it
hits the UK.
