2 Comments

The FCC just approved HTC’s new S740 slider device, also known as the “Rose” for the US market, although 3G support isn’t offered in the first-released variant.

The Windows Mobile 6.1-based device features a 3.2MP camera, MicroSD slot, a 2.4-inch TFT-LCD screen, Wi-Fi, GPS and A-GPS support, built-in RSS reader, a four-row slide-out QWERTY keypad, and a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio.  The device also features a Qualcomm MSM7225- 528MHz processor with 256MB of ROM and SDRAM.

No word yet as to which US-based GSM carrier will offer the device.
