I am a long time deprived of the boom in smartphones and contented myself with Symbian. Finally I got myself then decided after much testing the two mainly used mobile operating systems for the "outsider" Microsoft. Looks better, runs pretty smoothly and is just something else.
The HTC 8S, it has become a very simple reason: the price. I did not want 600 and more for a smartphone spend what after 2 years again for the scrap heap.
About the pros and cons here was already discussed sufficiently, I have it now for 2 weeks in operation and I am more than satisfied.
The faulted battery life I can not understand, even high-end devices often have no more than 2-3 days power. No wonder these giant displays ...
4GB internal memory 1.27 are available from which: added, is really a bit thin. But for the not too demanding adequate. WP8 already brings some useful programs and usually are only a few apps MB. Have about 20 installed and still above 1GB free.
Who knows what he wants to need all these reviews actually do not read. Am fully satisfied and would highly recommend it!
