North Americans might never have the opportunity to put their hands on the HTC Touch HD, but fortunately for them they are not completely neglected by the Taiwan-based manufacturer, as a couple of other well-known handsets are released in the United States.



Therefore, the company has just unveiled the HTC S743, an interesting mixture of style and power, which is the American version of another HTC device, the S740. The cell phone combines a traditional keypad with 12 keys and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and works with the Windows Mobile 6.1. On the other hand, the S743 comes with HSDPA support, so it works on 850 / 1900 frequencies.

The features of this HTC cell phone include, among others: a 2.4 inch TFT QVGA display (that isn’t equipped with touch sensitive capabilities), a 3.2 megapixel camera, the full QWERTY keyboard, GPS, Wi-Fi, POP3 and IMAP4 email, SMS and MMS messaging, support for a couple of instant messaging standards.



“While others are content focusing on a single design or user interface, HTC is dedicated to bringing the benefits of mobile convergence to all consumers, without forcing them to use a device that doesn’t truly fit their lifestyle”, said Jason Mackenzie, the vice president of HTC America. In addition, he said that “the HTC S743, which packs high-design and high-performance into a trim 4.9 ounce package, is a great example of HTC’s rejection of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ philosophy”.

The HTC S743 is expected to become available unlocked starting the first quarter of this year, via a wide variety of retail outlets such as Dell and CDW. Unfortunately for those who are already anxious about this handset, there are no details yet about the price of the S743.
