What the Critics Are Saying...


MobileBurn
MobileBurn

But when you sum up all the hits and misses in the S740 (and S743), it seems clear that the phone is still a real winner. It's good looking, quite capable, and gives users a lot of flexibility when it comes to text input. Sure, the UI is a bit long in the tooth, and the web browser is archaic by mod...
