My, my. Look at that. Just as quickly as we learn of the existence of the HTC S740 - think a slightly longer Touch Pro with a numeric keypad and no touchscreen - we now get some hands-on goodness courtesy of NewMobile.
Mentioned is that the screen doesn't appear to auto-rotate with the help of an accelerometer and instead only switches from portrait to landscape when the keyboard is open. Makes sense, seeing as how this is a Windows Mobile Standard device, though you might want to watch video with the keyboard closed.
Otherwise, you still pretty much get the Diamond form, complete with the multi-faced, fingerprint magnet back.

My main concern is how fast the screen changes orientation when sliding out the keyboard.
Other than that it seems perfect if you like/accept the formfactor: both the CPU and RAM are above what's found in WM Pro devices.
