Photos: HTC S740

HTC is probably best known for its touch-screen handhelds running Windows Mobile Professional. However, the Taiwanese company also makes keypad-driven smartphones running Windows Mobile Standard.

The S740 is the latest addition to the range. It sports an HTC Touch Diamond-like design (which in one important respect does it no favours at all), and packs a strong array of features.

The S740 is available SIM-free for £334.99 (inc. VAT; 291.30 ex. VAT) from Expansys and we expect to see it available on contract from network operators before too long.
