HTC One S – The Newest and Coolest Phone From T Mobile + Giveaway

Jennifer here —

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.

Enter to win an HTC Amaze 4G

The HTC Amaze is similar to the HTC One S and we are going to be giving one away to one of YOU. Use the Rafflecopter below to enter to win. Remember, the more ways you enter this giveaway, the better off your chances are of winning.

I was sent an HTC One S Unit to try out for a few days and review. All opinions listed are my own.
