TC (High Tech Computer Corporation) is a Taiwan based manufacturer of smart phones and other Window's CE portable devices. HTC is unique due to the fact that its main business is an outsourcing company for other larger brands including Dell, Orange, T-Mobile, Cingular, Vodafone and O2.

For the most part, HTC creates windows based PDA's and smart phones including the Dell x50, HP Compaq i-mate and Qtek. HTC phones are extremely high tech and are feature filled. Newer phones will be able to run Windows Vista Business OS and have large touch sensitive screens. Smart phones which are more like extremely portable computers will include 30 GB of hard drive space and a dual core Intel processor. However, at this time, most smart phones created by HTC are comparable to the Palm and BlackBerry models.

While most consumers aren't familiar with the HTC brand, they are familiar with many of the products that they manufacturer for others. HTC is known in the industry as providing high quality, cutting edge products at reasonable prices.

HTC-S743: 2009 Model
The HTC S743 is a new smartphone from T Mobile with an unusual look to it. It has a slim slider body with the keyboard hidden underneath the main screen.

It is a modern smartphone that comes with the most sought after options available, including 3G connectivity at 7.2 Mbit/s, aGPS, and Wi-Fi. The shiny black color adds a nice touch as well.



Although there is no touch screen, it boasts a nice clean and clear color screen, and the separate 12-key numerical keypad is a plus. The slide out full keyboard really appeals to heavy texters and people who correspond frequently via email on their phone.

The HTC S743 comes with a pretty heavy price, and should hit the US market in the beginning quarter of 2009. (The price should range anywhere from $400 to $500, which many might consider a little bit high, particularly since the phone is not a touch screen or in the vein of the Blackberry.)
