I recently switched to Cingular/AT&T so I could get the Cingular 3125 (HTC Star Trek) phone. I really like clam shell designs, as I dont have to worry about accidentally turning on something as with candy bar designs. However, in the short four months I have managed to beat up the 3125 a lot, and the battery cover keeps coming off at the most inopportune moments.

So, I am looking for another Windows Mobile smartphone, and since I am stuck with AT&T for another year and a half, I have decided I want either of the following:

• HTC S730 The second version of the S710 (see below), it is a dual keypad/sliding keyboard design. Upgrades include WM6, HSPDA (3G) and a faster processor, but with the same capacity battery (1050mAH), battery life should be lower.
• HTC S710 The original dual input device smartphone. WM5 and a 200Mhz processor. There has been a lot of discussion about the microphone dropping out after a few weeks of use, which has me concerned. 

In the meantime the 3125 is still working, so I will wait until reviews for the S730 come out before making a purchase.
