What in the world do you get a mom who has everything she needs? Well, if she is crazy busy like me, a new phone might just be the gift she would love to have!
I recently had the opportunity to review the newest phone from T-Mobile — the HTC One S.
While I have always been an Apple Iphone user, I am tempted to change to an Android phone now that I have had a chance to try one out first hand. I am sure that many of the Android phones on the market are fabulous, but the HTC One S is an awesome phone!
The HTC One S is thin and lightweight. It weighs 119.5 grams with battery in, which is amazingly light. I held both my Iphone and the HTC One S in my hands to see and feel the difference and there was NO comparison.
The next thing that I loved about the HTC One S is the fact that I can talk/text on it. This was a feature that my daughter discovered and once she did, I started texting everyone! You just open your texting and set the settings and choose who to send your text to. Then you speak in the speaker and it will type what you speak! I love this hands free feature for when I need to send a text but have my hands tied up in work.
Here are some more great specs about the HTC One S:
- Upload your entire music library, even Itunes (up to 20,000 songs) for free
- 8 mp camera on the back and a face front camera of 2mp
- 4G
- 10.5 hours of talk time
The HTC One S is available for purchase as a contract phone, so be sure and check with your TMobile rep to find out more.

Jenni Reilly says
Not only would this phone help me it would help my family. We just had to replace our air conditioner and washing machine and now my fiance’s cell phone broke. This phone would be a blessing at a time like this.
Dian says
I love all things HTC – they are the best of any phones I have ever had. I would love to try this new one! I love all of the features, I am sure it will help me daily as I tweet and blog!

Erin R. says
It would make my life simpler by helping me with driving directions
trishden says
Right now I have no phone, it is very inconveniet and people are getting mad at me because they can’t reach me when I’m out and about. So, it would make my life easier so I wouldn’t have to hear them whine. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Christina Brundick says
love 2 cameras on the phone!
Sarah VM says
The 10.5 hours of talk time would make my life so much easier. I wouldn’t have to worry about running the battery down when I’m waiting for an important call.
colleen boudreau says
It will help me stay organized. 🙂
Brandy says
Would keep me from losing my mind when I can’t keep up with appointments and contact information!
Shaye Whitmer says
I have an android tablet, but have never used it as a phone and like the OS. Never had the chance to use it as a phone though.
Sylvia Ortiz says
The HTC One S would simplify my life by having available access to the internet, along with the functuality of the android apps & the added bonus of having a camera built into the phone. I am so in need of a phone upgrade! 🙂
Claire says
Id love to be able to check my e-mail anywhere.
sb cee says
The HTC One would make my life simpler because I’d have my entire google life in one place!

This is a phone built for a multitasker. I’m one. Very nice fit. Perhaps like a stocking.
Catherine says
This would help me keep in touch with all of my siblings and extended family while travelling with the Marine Corps.
Monique says
The battery life would make keeping in touch so much easier — with a daughter in another state, we need our phones on 24/7 and the battery dies *so fast*.
Michelle S says
This would make my life simple because it has all the tools I “need” in one device. Now, I should always find non-electronic ways to keep notes, but this is easier to carry around.
bridgette busby says
I have never had a smart phone this one sounds like the one for me. this would be a plus in my life.
Anna says
Get better organized, check emails during the day!!! and make phone calls – my phone now has a 1 minutes battery life 🙂
Sue Borowiak says
Yep, I sure could use a new phone. I have a Tracfone – that is neither smart nor savy. I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks!
ANGEL JACKLYN says
IT’D BE NICE TO NOT HAVE TO PHYSICALLY TEXT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT RATHER TALK TO THE PHONE & LET IT TEXT FOR ME. IT SURE WOULD MAKE MY TRAFFIC RUNS GO SMOOTHER (& ACCIDENT-FREE, OF COURSE)!
Leslie Galloway says
This phone would make my life simpler because I just got a new job where I’m out and about a lot of the day, taking calls from new contacts, and always needing to respond to emails.

This phone sure beats the one I am useing right now, this has many more better features on it.
Tammi says
Sounds like an incredible camera, and I need a phone with a better camera on it. As much as I like my separate camera, I always have my phone and tend to use it more and more for taking photos. So many great features about this phone, but that’s what caught my eye first!
😉

I have four kids so the talk to text will be really helpful and the battery life.

I would love to be able to upload all my songs from iTunes on there! It would make my life simpler because the 8MP and 1080p HD video features on the camera would be really handy… it could capture any moments/memories and I wouldn’t have to lug around my actual camera.
Michelle Small says
Talk to text would definitely be able to help when I am out on job or driving to daily job sites. Have to pull off road to communicate with boss. This would allow me to keep moving. Also love the battery life. Less need to charge during the day.

tiffany c says
This phone wounds awesome, I especially love the continuous shooting feature, you can capture every moment. Just press and hold the shutter button and the camera captures every picture until you let go. This is so handy for all those moments in life when I don’t have a my SLR! Also, video recording in HD is perfect for catching those special moments!
HappyMomC says
I would love the talk to text feature, what a cool concept!
Chuck says
Good sleek design, like how it looks.

I love the talk to text feature

This is great, could use one of these.

A smartphone, in my opinion, is like having a mobile office/assistant at your fingertips 24/7. HTC smartphones are my personal fave, so easy to use!
