I've been waiting for the S730 ever since it was suggested to have GPS. Now that it doesn't, I had to go to the dark side. I'm really disappointed.

several places say it has GPS:

It means - it is enabled in our preproduction sample.
The productions unit will have the same chip - so GPS will be there. Will it be easily enabled as our preproduction - we cannot say?
We know what to do, so as soon as production units will arrive - we will check them for GPS right away.

Additional differences when compared to the TyTN II are:
weaker battery 1050 vs 1350mAh
weaker camera 2MP vs 3.2MP
lighter weight 120 vs 190g
smaller dimensions so QWERTY will not be as large.
In short this is a more portable phone compared to TyTN II. The crux is how important is touchscreen to the user and whether multitasking or opening of large webpages (RAM hungry) will be frequently needed.
The lower RAM clearly implies that HTC feel that the phone will be used for lighter work eg writinng e-mails. So it all boils down to whether the phone satisfies your needs.

what are the differences of this phone to the tytn II:
- no gps (can be solved with a bt-gps-modul)
- no touchscreen
- s730 is smaller
- less RAM :-(
are there other differences?
is the missing touchscreen (why it have no!?!) a big handicap?

there's hundreds of phones out there, if you dont want a qwerty keyboard, get another one.

I especially LOVE the sliding keyboard on TyTN.
Think this s730 is great BECAUSE it has a sliding keyboard. Otherwise it would be just an average, regular phone.

I wish it didn't have the sliding keyboard, then it'd be thinner and less have less parts that can break. Y would U need a qwerty key board? just use T9. I'm still waiting for one with toush screen, keypad and no moving parts. The best one i've seen so far is the P526, but no shop seems to have it.

The Wings have finally landed! ;-)
This is way cool! But I agree, HTC should've included more RAM...

On a serious note HTC should not cut the RAM on this device. Afterall it has the SAME processor as TyTN II so it should have the same128MB RAM so that there will be less headache when multitasking. Since it has not been released yet they still have a chance to ammend this oversite. Furthermore I understand that FM is not included. I cannot comprehend why HTC feel that attaining business news via the radio is unimportant.

Jezebel, this would have been the smartphone version of the TyTN II if they had implemented 128MB RAM instead of 64MB! I don't understand why they cut the RAM. This is no longer the S710!!

this is from engadget, so i'm holding out hope for US 3g bands:
The S730 is just what we heard: 400MHz Qualcomm processor, "worldwide 3G," HSDPA data, WiFi (of course), auto-sliding QWERTY, and Windows Mobile 6 with 256MB of flash memory.

hmm, those were the specs from http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=728
the specs there were updated yesterday, but official htc site does only say 2100, which would suck.

the S730 is basically the smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) version of the Tytn 2 (Kaiser), so it is smaller, but no touchscreen. if you are dying for the touch screen, get the Tytn 2, personally i like the smaller form factor.
