HTC yesterday announced the S740, a follow-up to the S730 that brings the styling and features of the Touch Diamond to a non-touch-screen Windows Mobile Standard device. Like the S730, the S740 sports a standard bar shape and numeric keypad, plus a physical QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the side. The S740 is intended mainly for Europe, with HSDPA 7.2 in the 900/2100 bands, but also includes quad-band GSM, making it compatible with US GSM networks. Other notable features include a 3-megapixel camera, memory card slot, WiFi, GPS, 528 MHz processor, and FM radio. HTC expects to ship the S740 in September.
