We like:
3G connectivity with HSDPA; supports two-way video calling; slide-out Qwerty keyboard; accessible microSD card slot
We don't like:
Bulky and heavy for a smart phone; moderate battery life
Also known as:
HTC S730 Wings
CNET UK judgement:
Aside from 3G, this update to the S710 adds little improvement. In fact, the S730 is slightly heavier than its predecessor and delivers less battery life. Whether you go for the S730 will depend largely on how much you need 3G
