HTC’s latest Windows Mobile smartphone the HTC S740 codenamed Rose has just popped up at the FCC; the HTC S740 Rose extends HTC’s touch design however, unlike the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC S470 loses the VGA touch-screen.

The HTC S470 Rose incorporates a keypad/keyboard in a slider form factor and features a 3.2 megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS, quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio, along with most of the HTC Touch Diamond’s feature set.

HTC’s S470 Rose is a nice option for those that want both numeric and a slide out QWERTY rather than a touch-screen and virtual keyboard; unfortunately it does lack 3G though.
