And in even more HTC news this week ...

Engadget Mobile goes hands-on with the S740, the non-touchscreen slider that also includes a numeric keypad for good measure.

Their verdict?

Let's just put it this way: if there's a phone that could convince us Windows Mobile Standard was the way to roll, this would be it, no questions asked.

Coming from those guys, that's some serious love for a Windows Mobile device. It would be interesting to see the S740 put head to head with one of our favorite non-touchscreen devices, the venerable Motorola Q9h, even though the form factors aren't the same.
