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.
