 We're not big fans of the dual-keypad style of business phone, which is why the Samsung SCH-i760 wasn't our favorite Windows Mobile phone. But that phone was thick and chunky, and required us to break out the stylus even though there were two keyboards. The HTC S740 might have solved some of these issues. The phone is definitely a relative of the HTC Touch Diamond family of phones, with its slick black look and sharp facets. But instead of HTC's TouchFLO interface, the phone gets the non-touch Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard edition, which isn't a bad thing. It's a nice look version of that OS, and it works great with a QWERTY keypad. This phone design is also popular among consumers, with phones like the LG Rumor, and WinMo 6.1 Standard is the most consumer friendly version of the smartphone OS. Release: November 2008. Price: $530.
