The HTC S740 was announced today. HELLO GORGEOUS! I’m such a sucker for sleek, minimalist designs.

The specs, according to BGR:

• 116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm
• GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• WCDMA/HSDPA: 900/2100 MHz (we’d guess there is a 850/1900MHz UMTS/HSDPA version in the works, supports HSDPA 3.6Mbps and HSDPA 7.2Mbps)
• 2.4″ QVGA screen
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• Qualcomm® MSM7225, 528 MHz
• 256MB flash ROM, 256MB RAM
• microSD slot
• 140g
• 1000mAh battery
• Wi-Fi b,g
• aGPS
• Bluetooth 2.0
• FM radio

Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. The only downside is that it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 which isn’t my favorite mobile OS. However, the design and specs more than make up for it.

The HTC S740 is slated to be released in Europe next month. Damn you, North America, for having some of the worst selection of cell phones in the modern world!
