I read on another site that this phone was recently updated to work on 3G network in the U.S. Can anyone confirm this? Currently it only operates in the 2100 mhz in Asia/Europe for 3G.
Thanks,
Andy

Can anyone please give me some advice so as to if I should buy this phone or Toshiba's G-900? On the one hand I like the fact that Toshiba's screen and keypad sizes are bigger, but I've been reading some bad reviews on how it hangs all the time, you can't read anything on the screen in day light, the camera is bad etc, so I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice too..
thanks :)

Windows Mobile Standard = for NON- touch screen phones
Windows Mobile Professional = for Touch Screen phones.
so answer is NO you can not use Windows Mobile 6 Pro in this Device.

I think this is an extremely good design. In fact the design concept is the best I have ever seen in a phone. It allows the user access to both a T9 hardware keyboard and a QWERTY. Excellent!!
HTC then go and spoil a good design by cutting the RAM thereby limiting the multitasking ability of the phone. They make the mistake of excluding GPS, which so many desire. The QWERTY has only three rows instead of the usual four so some letters are in unusual places which now institutes the inconvenient need to type differently for this particular phone.
One wonders whether it is because the phone does not have a touch screen that HTC felt the need to amputate its features!
HTC should realise that by far the majority of people do not like touch screens. One has only to look at top selling phones such as Nokia's N73 and N95 8GB which are all without touch screens to realise this.
That is why a phone like this would be ideal for people who have been used to Symbian phones and want to try WM. Yet HTC make decamping difficult with their insistence on cutting features. Why couldn't they have placed a 3.2 or even 5MP autofocus camera in the device. Afterall this is a contemporary feature that is highly desired.
HTC should stop being small minded and open the gates. They should place top features in this phone because it has so much potential.
So if they ever make a S750 or even S770 they should try and implement the aforementioned recommendations because that is the key to high sales. HTC have the design; they have the processor (Qualcomm MSM 7200); they have the technicians. What is holding them??

Here i was looking at the Touch Dual sadly thinking "if only it had Wi-Fi" and had totaly forgoten about the S730!
In 3months im taking another upgrade and im not sure if i should get another Nokia Nseries or not. So would like to find out how much does this device cost in South Africa?
How much RAM does it have after boot up? +/-45mb?
Is WM6.1 OUT for this device?
And lastly how is the screen compared to a S710 and Touch Dual?
I realy wish GSMArena had done a review of it. :-(

I like this phone so far.... its the smallest smartphone with a full keyboard.
If it had GPS it would be perfect. I prefer having a phone with normal dialing pad and not touch because its not as quick

The phone is a nice phone but a problem i have with it is that if you put a mp3 as your text message ringtone it don't stop playing when the text is being read, it only stops when the entire mp3 is completed. Is the a fix for this?

For the alarm to work, the phone has to remain on. If your reason for turning off the phone is to conserve enry then jst put the phone in flight mode.

The phone is really nice. But it should have been equipped with an auto-focus camera. It's also imho quite too fat. The numeric keypad could have been better.
It's a shame that it has such a powerful cpu and has rather slow interface, including the one for taking pictures :(
But the full qwerty keypad is something really nice. WM itself is also really good. I used to have a Nokia 9300 (the one without wi-fi) and I think HTC S730 is a good phone to choose when your 9300 is getting old =)
