good form factor, great phone
By Steven P. Spinella
The HTC One S is more narrow than other current smart phones. It actually fits the HD screen you see on modern TVs when held horizontally. This means more scrolling when reading horizontally and a smaller onscreen keyboard when swype-ing, so it gave me pause when ordering. Having used it for six months, I can say that I've gotten used to these challenges, even though I do have big fingers and I especially enjoy the form factor.Bottom line is that a phone fits in your hand, and this one fits better than others with large screeens. It is also very thin with rounded edges. Even with a form-fitting cover (see separate review) it fits in my pocket and my hand so much better than the other options. As you know, I carry it every day, so this really matters more than the hypothetical loss of screen real estate.Phone calls are clear, reception is excellent, and wifi works great (I usually don't have a data plan, since when I'm away from buildings I generally only want to do phone calls, read books, or look up information in my databases.My go to app is google mail, calendar, and contacts, all of which are syncing fine between my computer and phone.For reading, I have used kindle for android, adobe reader, and Olive Tree Bible Study app. I am satisfied with all of them. I also occasionally use the built in software to access MS office files (through dropbox) and it has worked fine.I have used the phone to watch you tube videos, but I don't really see a phone as a TV.I do use the camera quite a bit. While the optics are a step down from the larger lens on my Nikon P60, I always have it with me and the resolution is adequate for screen viewing, but not for extensive enlargements. E.g., it's better for memories than for publication.I am totally pleased with this phone. It is plenty fast enough for my mobile apps and it has already served me well for six months. I hope you can get a good deal on one yourself.Technical note: it does take the smaller sim cards. It also has 16 gb storage, but no removable sd card or battery. I have not found this a problem though it was something I considered at the time of purchase, and as you can see, I greatly appreciate the form factor, which benefits from these space saving measures.And if you're wondering, it's so much nicer than any iphone I've seen, just in my humble opinion as someone who doesn't subscribe to the istore game..

Such a lovely piece of kit... unlucky it got that nasty Home Button Issue
By Kerberos
Would be a nice phone if not plagued by a VERY SERIOUS BUGPros:- Light, but strong- Slick and elegant- Battery ok (with some tweaking it lasts me a fair day with about 3-4 hours screen on time, with stock software it still does 15 hours runtime)- Good Audio- PERFECT CAM!!!- Very good screen- Fast!Well, then there is this (same text as some other reviews - says it all):Be aware that numerous users are experiencing a SERIOUS ISSUE whenever carrier signal is weak:The phone will then switch homescreen/multiple screen view on its own in very quick succession, and disable all the capacitive buttons. It will keep doing this until you find a spot where the signal is better (if you're lucky). In the meantime, you will not be able to do anything at all: call, pick-up, use apps, whatever. Basically, you then completely loose control over your phone.This issue has been reported to HTC by many users SINCE APRIL 2012, but no patch or update has been released yet as to address the problem. So keep this in mind if you want to purchase this device... You have been warned.HTC refuses all liability and is lately even refusing to exchange or repair phones, saying we should now keep waiting for Updates! I am VERY DOUBTFUL an update can adress this as we have already seen 3 relevant Radio-Updates which where meant to address this yet failed!Various threads on XDA forum are currently discussing this issue, gathering testimonies from hundreds of users and organizing a communication campaign to inform the masses. Don't forget to check them out before you invest in this phone:Discussion thread:[...]Campaign thread: [...]HTC, please FIX THIS ISSUE! Thank you...

By alejandra
The phone is awesome! Te delivery was really fast. the package was really well build and the cellphone was new, in a new box, all perfectly sealed. BUT!!!!! The cellphone is T-mobile, so I bought a SIM card for an UNLOCKED phone like the title said and it does not work why? because is T-MOBILE!!! it says T-MOBILE on the phone it does not says HTC like in the picture! Beside that the phone is the best! super pretty, comfortable and fast!
