UNVEILED: HTC rereleases the HTC S740 Windows Mobile Smartphone as the HTC S743

Announced late last year in Europe and Asia, the HTC S740 - HTC's latest Windows Mobile Standard smartphone (see our photo- and videoviews) - wasn't compatible with North American UMTS bands since it supports European and Asian WCDMA frequencies at 900 and 2100 MHz only. Nevertheless, HTC America unveiled today that it now plans to launch a North American version - the HTC S743 - in the first quarter 2009 too. Like the S740, the S743 combines a traditional 12-key keypad design with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and it will supports AT&T's HSDPA (850/1900 MHz) network.

While the S740 still not supports UMTS/HSDPA networks in the U.S. it supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and also features WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 as well as aGPS/GPS which works, for instance, quite well with the pre-installed Google Maps Mobile client (which nevertheless isn't the latest one featuring Street View).
