HTC S730, also known as HTC Wings is a smartphone from HTC. The phone is a member of HTC's line with phones equipped with QWERTY-keyboards.

History

The phone was made available during late 2007. It uses Windows Mobile technology and is powered by Windows Mobile 6 Standard.

HTC have used slogans such as "Let's get down to business." and "Keep in touch no matter where you are in the world." when marketing the device.

Properties

Keyboard

The device has an extendable keyboard - "qwerty", available in localized versions, which simplifies SMS and smartphone functions. There's also a standard numeric keyboard located under the screen.

Multimedia

The device can also act as a music player supporting formats such as MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WAV,QCELP, MPEG4, AMR-NB and AMR-WB.

Internet

The device can be connected to wireless networks using 802.11 b/g (WLAN), it supports the Skype-protocol which can be used to make calls when connected to a wireless network.

Battery

The device uses a 1,050 mAh rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer battery.

Rumours

Integrated GPS system

The device is said to contain a GPS chip but lacks the software to use it; also, the integrated GPS chip has no antenna and therefore it can only connect to 1-2 satellites (usually at COM4 at 4800 or 9600 baud). HTC has not officially stated that the device would contain any GPS functionality, however GPS functions have been demonstrated by HTC on preview versions of the device.

Hackers are currently working on unlocking GPS functionality until HTC releases a ROM upgrade providing this.
