[Deal Alert] HTC One S On T-Mobile $125 With Two-Year Agreement From Wirefly Through Memorial Day Weekend

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, One S (Ville)

If you want the best phone that T-Mobile has to offer, then you undoubtedly want the HTC One S (our review). And if you want the HTC One S, then you probably want to get it while spending as little money as possible. Good news! If you pick the beasty up from Wirefly over the weekend and use the coupon code HTCONES25, then you'll get it for $125, which is a damn good price for this device (yes, I made a rhyme; no, I didn't do it on purpose). Amazon Wireless is selling the same device for a laughable $549 on-contract.

T-Mobile HTC One S Review: The Future Is Now

Posted by David Ruddock in HTC, One S (Ville), Phone Reviews, Reviews, T-Mobile

Last Updated: April 30th, 2012

An Android phone is like a Leatherman Tool. It does a lot of things - without a doubt, a triumph of function over form. Android is the world's most versatile mobile operating system, the most tweakable, the most adaptable, and the most fully-featured. It just does more than any other comparable product out there. But if Android is a Leatherman, the iPhone is the basic Swiss Army Knife - compact, simple, iconic, and good enough for the vast majority of people, even if it does do a little less.

Building on that analogy, Android users, even die-hard fans, actually look at their phones more like tools.

[Leak] The HTC One S Will Be Arriving At T-Mobile On April 25th, Says TmoNews

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Leaks, News

While we're all drooling over the One X (codenamed Evo 4G LTE on Sprint), HTC's new middle child is working its way into the US markets. TmoNews has acquired some leaked slides that declare rather confidently that the HTC One S will land on T-Mo on April 25th, keeping its surname. The date, TmoNews notes, is a Wednesday which T-Mobile is typically known for favoring as a launch day.

Little else is known (like a price) at this point, except that T-Mo is currently training employees on the talking points of the One S before it become available. Talking points like Beats audio, T-Mobile's "largest" "4G" network, and the rest of the crowd favorites.

[Rumor] HTC One S Possibly Hitting T-Mobile On April 22

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News, One S (Ville), Rumors, T-Mobile

If you're waiting for the One S to hit T-Mobile, a new piece of information just hit the scene that may be of interest to you. This particular piece of information clearly shows the release date for the device: April 22.

You know the drill with this sort of thing, though: this is just a rumor and it could change at a moments notice. With that said, this leak appears to be pretty official, so it looks like T-Mo is pretty dang close to getting its first HTC device with ICS (if the Amaze or Sensation updates don't roll out first, that is).

[MWC 2012] Hands-On With The HTC One S - Like The One X, But Smaller

Posted by David Ruddock in HTC, News, One S (Ville), Videos

Last night we got some hands-on time with HTC's new family of smartphones - the One series. While we didn't get a hands-on video with the One X (largely due to a dead battery), we did spend a fair amount of time with the One S, which shares most of its hardware with its larger sibling.

The main difference between the two lies in the displays. The One S packs a 4.3" SAMOLED qHD display (540x960), while the One X has HTC's new 4.7" S-LCD2 HD screen (1280x720). Both share the same Qualcomm S4 dual-core processor, clocked at 1.5GHz (the international version of the One X will have a quad-core Tegra 3, but not in the US).
