HTC One S Reviewed: The New Flagship Device for T-Mobile

The reviews are in for the highly anticipated HTC One S for T-Mobile USA. The long awaited device which first appeared back in February at the Mobile World Congress is set to launch here in the U.S. on April 25th. The dual-core Qualcomm S4 powered device will come with T-Mobile HSPA+ 42Mbps support and integrated Beats Audio. Recent evidence from both BestBuy and T-Mobile have the device selling for $199 after a 2 year contract, or $599 with no contract. Considering that the HTC One X for AT&T (which launches on May 6th) will cost the same, many feel the One S should be at $99 or $149. The One X is technically the big brother of the One S and is the flagship device for HTC as a brand.
