"I'm current user of this S740...also Ex-user of iPhone, HTC P3300, and some other windows mobile devices. I found that this phone is one of the best eventhough without the touch screen function. Works very smooth and so far, no hang. I really like this phone...Way to go HTC!"
Kamarul (Malaysia)

"Slightly surprised that the battery isn't a bit bigger. I use an S710 with the same battery and if GPS saps the power as much as WiFi, I would think you wouldn't want to be away from a charger for too long. Of course, I would defer to the experience of 740 owners!"
John Newell (Lechlade)

"I agreee this could be a great device, but am unsure if I will miss the touch screen I have on my TYTN. I do like the design though! I wonder what battery life will be like"
Craig (Bristol)

"Got this asan upgrade to my S730. Wasn't sure it was worth it due to the features...BUT I have not looked back since. Worthwhile upgrade, great performance, good styling, feels comfortable in the hand and strong call quailty."
Des (Doncaster)

"This will be the device for me. Have a S730 which I love so have been waiting for HTC to bring out such a machine. The built in GPS will make a real difference."
Richard Monkton (Leeds)

"The initial reviews I saw suggessted the battery life should be good, except when the GPS is used. I think it shares the processor with the HTC Diamond so it should be fast."
Martin (Fife)

"Why did they not bring this out sooner. Excellent, simply brilliant, does all I need in a good size and wihout being too complicated or bulky."
Patrick (London)

"The time i saw ve unit i just loved it. "
D (Oman)

"I want to see one so I can compare with my IPAQ 514 in terms of size. It certainly has more features. I think it may be my next buy."
Sarah Mearns (London)

"Our compnay installed a number of these units for reps on the road. They work well and offer great flexability and productivity. Screen could be bigger, but cant have it all ways! "
