If you give HTC S710 to anybody, they would comment it as a good phone with good display, keys etc. But anybody would hardly notice the QWERTY keyboard in its side. When the keyboard pops out, the display immediately switches form portrait to landscape view, giving you the feel of using a clamshell PDA. The keyboard can not be said as extremely spacious but is just enough for two finger typing. But once you hold it in your hand with its killer feature hidden, you will definitely doubt its weight. It is only slightly thicker than your normal handsets. It fits tidily in your pocket and can be held comfortably.
Design:

The resolution is the standard 320 x 240 pixels. The pictures and text look clear and the colors are vivid and impressive. The keys are also back-lit so you will not be having any problems while typing messages at night. At the top of the device, there is the ear piece containing a couple of LED’s for indicating the status of the Bluetooth/ Network and charging activity. At the flip side of the phone they have the 2 mega pixel camera. It does not have flash but still does better in the low-light areas. Your SIM card slot lies right behind the keyboard pad. The left edge of the HTC S710 Smartphone sports a voice dial button and the volume control. On the top of the right edge it has the camera button and at the bottom it has got the MicroSD Slot, covered by a rubber flap. The bottom of the phone contains the mini USB connector.
