CNET Asia have published a review of the Sony Walkman NWZ-S744 (8GB) portable player 'At 92 x 41 x 7.9 mm, it is slightly larger than the model it replaces. Most of the player is covered in black plastic with a matte finish, save for the control area which seems metallic. The cover of the screen is made of what seems to be the same sort of glossy plastic that endows the cheaper Walkmans. The Hold button is located on the right, along with the volume rocker buttons. Like the S540, the five-way D-pad on the S740 has a nice ribbed feel which doesn't feel cheap. The QVGA screen offers a 240 x 320-pixel resolution. While not being a bad performer, the screen is of the same size as the previous model at 2 inches.'
