What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
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.Read more ›

This phone for T-mobile was ok not the best. Unforntally HTC stopped all software support for it so there will be no more updates to it, and if your lucky you wont encounter the dreaded home button(Helicoptering) issue. Overall: don't recommend this phone to anyone, you might as well go for the ONE.

Very nice device, but 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. Just google "HTC one S touch button issue" and you'll see many times many posts about it.
This issue has been reported to HTC by many users FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, 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, please FIX THIS ISSUE! Thank you...

When I first received I think the software is suck! But I called the customers services and I got hold of real person to help me to walk through a bit. I get used to blackberry in past decade and it took me sometime to learn how to use the new software.
After more than one year usage, I really think it is a great phone in many ways. From time to time, I take photos in restaurants and need to take closer look under the low light situation. I found my friends who use iPhone & Samsung do not have the same functions at all, because their photos obviously can not be compared with mine. I dropped my phone several times and got some scratches on the back covers and it is still in perfect condition. Finally, I bought a gel cover and it seems it will last longer than any of my past Blackberry.

Let me just start by saying that i love this phone. i have experienced none of the problems that other reviews have been talking about. Screen- the screen very good. idk if it is anything speciel but its got great graphics. Sound- great... thats the only word that describes it. as you know its got beats by dre audio installed so whenever any media is playing it turns on. Build- the phone is very nice. the body of it is aluminum, its so thin!!! Battery- battery life isnt great only like 8 or nine hours if your using aplications. internet browsing- its very fast. about 70 persent of the time the conection. some of the other reviews say that when the phone has low bars that it like goes nuts of somthing. i have had the phone for about 2 months and never had this problem.

Would be a nice phone if not plagued by a VERY SERIOUS BUG
Pros: - 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):

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:
