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.

First I loved its talk to text feature, it will make life simple.Second its battey life seems to be very good. I also need a good phone.Thanks for chance!!
I love phones:0)
Wow you can upload all of your music on to it- 20,000 songs. That sounds great to me. Thanks for the chance.
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.
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!
It will make my life easier so I have a place to put all my calendar events.
I love the talk/text feature.

It will help me stay connected – email, social networking, pictures!
It would make my life simpler by helping me with driving directions
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!
love 2 cameras on the phone!
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.
It will help me stay organized. 🙂
Would keep me from losing my mind when I can’t keep up with appointments and contact information!
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.
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! 🙂
Id love to be able to check my e-mail anywhere.
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.
This would help me keep in touch with all of my siblings and extended family while travelling with the Marine Corps.
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*.
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.
I have never had a smart phone this one sounds like the one for me. this would be a plus in my life.
Get better organized, check emails during the day!!! and make phone calls – my phone now has a 1 minutes battery life 🙂
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!
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)!
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.

I think the talk/text feature would definitely make my life easier.
It would make my life easier as I don’t have to carry another device for my music. Also I don’t have a smartphone, so it would be great to be able to check emails.
My current phone is on the fritz, so it would make things much better to have a new reliable phone.
Talk to text would be so great!
It would be so nice to not only be ableto upload some music, but to take photos and have such an all purpose unit. I don’t have a Smart Phone, so it would be such a joy!
With 10.5 hours of talk time, i wouldn’t have to charge my phone as much as my current one!
I would use the talk/text to make my life easier!
I would love to get this for my mom; her phone is so old and finicky that it makes lots of things inconvenient for her.

This phone sure beats the one I am useing right now, this has many more better features on it.
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!
😉
Would it make my life easier? Probably not. but, it would make it a lot more fun. My phone doesn’t do anything fun.

I don’t have a smart phone. it would be great to have one!
I’d love a decent camera on my phone so I don’t have to carry a separate one!
I would love to develope rooms for this phone, let me win it… thanks
It would make my life easier because I would be able to use the talk to text feature. I would also be able to download all my music and take pictures of my twins in a quick snap =]
The talk/text feature would make my life easier.
The 10.5 hours of talk time would give me more then enough time to keep in touch with family far away.
I am currently having major issues with my Blackberry that I’ve only had for 6 months and unfortunately my cell company will do nothing for me;( This would help out greatly in replacing my piece of you know what blackberry and the chance to get away from Blackberry PERIOD with a new phone;)
emails, pictures, and a whole lot of other great things.
I love being able to check my emails so quickly!
My Beautiful wife needs an awsome phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I *love* that it will turn your words into text. That would make things a lot simpler in day to day goings on.
My mind set up to win this phone. Confidence never fails 🙂
Today’s entry:

Would like to own this phone, like all the new stuff.
The HTC One S would make my life simpler by keeping me connected and organized at the touch of my fingertips.
This phone has so many useful functions.
It would make my wife’s life easier. New phone, bigger screen, camera upgrade. All would have a positive impact on her day.
I would LOVE to be able to upload all my music.
Having email on-the-go would be amazing!
The camera and music player would make my life easier, because that is fewer gadgets I would have to carry.

I like everything about this neat phone.
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.
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.
My LG phone is 3 yrs old and locks up on me all the time so winning the HTC would be great. I could also do so much more on it than my current phone.
I like the talk to text. That would make things much easier.
The 8mp camera and HD video would be awesome. I wouldn’t need to take another camera with me on the go.
I would finally have a smartphone. I have a dumbphone, I can’t even check emails 🙁
Has allot of different things on it that I could really get some use out of.
I need an upgrade so I can feel “connected” at all times. (I currently don’t have a phone that can access the internet… I know, I’m outdated!!)
I’m a T-Mobile customer (for years!) and I would love a better smart phone that let me stay connected to social media all the time. Love the 4G!
Talk to text feature is really awesome. 8MP camera, Compatible size and music library really makes life beautiful 🙂 Go with HTC 🙂
This phone would make my life easier because it offers a lot of great features for busy people on the go, such as email, talk to text, huge variety of apps, lightweight & easy to use, etc. Thanks for the chance to get one!
still using a razor so need an upgrade

This phone has everything I am looking for. Love the thin design and all the other features it has.
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!
I would love the talk to text feature, what a cool concept!
Good sleek design, like how it looks.
I love how it’s so lightweight! My current phone is quite heavy, and it really weighs down my purse.
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!
A new phone would make my life simpler for sure!!! Being able to listen to my music, take photos and call from 1 newer unit would be so nice!!!! Thanks foe the chance!
I would use it to store my tunes so that I can listen to them any where I also would take pictures with it since I do not have a digital camera
the face front camera would make taking pictures easier
Love the text to speak option.
all the great apps!
My cell phone is outdated. Thanks for the chance.
It would make my life so much easier because I would no longer have to have a separate ipod to store my songs on. Thanks for the opportunity to win this.
Hi Jennifer,
This is a great giveaway. I love to enter this giveaway. Thanks a lot for this big one 🙂 And, Is this open to world wide?
It would make my life simpler because I can upload all of my music to it
With a 8 mp camera, I wouldn’t have to lug a separate camera around.
I would love being able to upload all of my music to it!
it would make my life easier by stopping the prodding my hubby gives me to switch to an Android phone. 😀
I love the talk to text feature. Would definitely help when I am driving 😉
Would help me organize things better
