HTC Announce new Smartphone

HTC have announced news and details of the successor to the popular S730 (Candy-bar, keyboard enabled Smartphone) with the HTC S740.

The S740 styling takes its lead from the latest HTC Diamond and Diamond Pro and includes a full slide-out qwerty keyboard but this is a very phone centric device - small enough for shirt-pocket use.

Also adds up to date features such as the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, HSDPA/Wifi and GPS.
