You have come to expect slider phones from HTC. The HTC TyTN (AT&T 8525), the TyTN II (AT&T Tilt) as well as the HTC730 Smartphone. We all know that there are new models on the drawing board but what will they look like? I would hate to see the large displays shrink and the QWERTY keyboards are so handy go away in any form.

Most of the previous HTC models are not known for being small and light weight so what if HTC decides to pair down their next slider phone? After looking at a patent filing from HTC the folks over at Unwired View feel that they have a good idea what the new HTC 730 may look like. What is so different? Well, as you can see in from their Photoshop rendering the numeric keypad is uncovered. This makes dialing on the numeric keypad easy in both the landscape mode or the portrait mode.
