Finally today, HTC revealed that it will bring out a North American version of its S740 slider. The S743 switches from the previously Europe-only HSPA 3G to a dual-band 850MHz/1,900MHz link suited to AT&T in the US and Rogers in Canada.This aside, the S743 is basically the same with the S740, hence it has that diamond shaped back cover and the weird, elongated case that hosts both an alphanumeric and a full QWERTY keyboard. HTC plans to ship the Windows Mobile 6.1 phone sometime in the first three months of the year as an unlocked, unsubsidized device. Pricing hasn’t been named but should be high without carrier discounts.

A bog step for Motorola was made today: the American company has just announced two new phones, one of which is the full-touchscreen device previously known as Motorola Attila.

The A3100 is a touch-based replacement for the Ming device that has been available in Asian markets. It runs Windows Mobile Professional 6.1, but has a new user interface created by Motorola that allows users to interact with most features of the phone on the 2.8-inch display. It has quad-band GSM/EDGE as well as 850/1900/2100 tri-band HSDPA 7.2Mbps 3G. It also carriers stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Other features include a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and VGA secondary camera, support for 32GB microSD cards, and a-GPS.

MOTOSURF A3100 will be commercially available in “multiple regions” around the world (Latin America and Asia included). No pricing details yet, but those curious to see the smartphone live will be able to do so during CES 2009. 

The second new handset is MOTO W233 Renew.The bar-style phone has dual-band 850/1900 GSM/EDGE radios, is rated at nine hours of talk time, and uses CrystalTalk for good call quality. It can support microSD cards up to 2GB and has basic messaging features.MOTO W233 Renew will first hit T-Mobile USA, sometime during this quarter, for an affordable price.
