The guys over at newmobile have been at the IFA 2008 fair in Berlin Germany and managed to get the new HTC S740 in their hands. According to HTC though the device does not yet have a Windows Mobile product version yet so they were not allowed to play around with the software. The one thing you notice immediately about the design is the fact that the numeric keys aren’t as shining as the press photos are suggesting. And that’s good news for people with dirty fingers; the device stays clean for quite a while! The keyboard is comparable with the keyboard from the Touch Pro although the S740 device is considerable thinner than its touchscreen-brother. When you slide out the keyboard, the display is automatically changing from portrait to landschape mode. The device doesn’t seem to have auto-rotate through motion sensor.
The back of the device has a Diamond-style look. Unfortunately, the back isn’t made out of the same material as the front; in a short period of time the back of the device is full with stripes and fingerprints. Even when you handle it with care and wash you’re hands ten times a day, it’s still pointless
