HTC S743 To Be Out In Q1 2009

Published on 01/ 6/2009

[CES 2009] HTC has rolled out its latest slider smartphone that does it sideways - the S743. This weirdly named phone aims to bring both style and power, but it is disappointing to see an alphanumeric keypad on the front when you've already got a full QWERTY keyboard when fully opened. Why not turn the display into a full touchscreen and get rid of the alphanumeric keypad instead? I suppose they already have a similar design in the past, but that's beside the point. Other features on the HTC S743 ought not to disappoint as they include :-

• 12-key keypad design
• Full slide-out QWERTY keyboard
• Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system
• Supports HSDPA (850/1900MHz) networks
• 2.4" QVGA display
• Microsoft Exchange support

If this faceted design rings a bell, that's because it can be found on the HTC Touch Diamond. There is no word on pricing for the HTC S743, guess we'll have to wait for it to be available via a carrier first before such information leaks out.
