HTC S710

HTC S710
Opening Screen Keyboard Open Back

review

By Jamie Lendino

The HTC S710 is a real design innovation, something you don't usually see in the handset market. The device is an unlocked GSM smartphone that works on both AT&T and T-Mobile networks. Like all unlocked phones, you won't find it in carrier outlets. Instead, look to reputable third-party dealers such as Dynamism, which sells the S710 (sans contract) for just $449. That's a steal for a device of this caliber, though in order to meet this price, I noticed some spots where HTC cut corners.

Bottom Line

HTC scores a design hit with its diminutive, dual-keyboard Windows Mobile 6 handset, but its voice quality and sluggish processor keep it from achieving greatness.

Pros

Striking sliding design. Comfortable QWERTY keyboard. Very bright screen. Includes built-in Wi-Fi.

Cons

No 3G. Slow CPU. Not the best voice quality.
