HTC One S Black via T-Mobile USA with rebate and freebie

 

If you are over in the good old US of A, your preferred carrier is T-Mobile, and have been waiting for the HTC One S in ceramic black to hit the carrier. You just might like to know that the black version of the Android smartphone has now been released on T-Mobile USA, and the device is being offered with a rebate as well as a freebie.

For those that might have been waiting for the arrival of the ceramic black version of the HTC One S, T-Mobile USA have the smartphone available as a free handset, which has a retail price of $549.99, but you get a web-only discount of $149.99, instant discount of $350, and a mail in rebate of $50 to bring that price down to zero.

Of course if you do decide to snap up the black One S from the carrier you will be required to sign up to the usual two-year agreement on a qualifying plan, and a data plan is also required.

Furthermore on purchasing the T-Mobile HTC One S in black you will also receive a freebie in the form of a HTC One S Body Glove Revel Shell. Usually priced at $14.99, and is a two-piece hard shell case that allows access to all controls and ports, features protective textured material and a detachable rotating clip that can convert into a kickstand.

The HTC One S is an Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone of course, that runs on T-Mobile’s fast 4G network, and allows you to listen to your music the way it should be thanks to Beats Audio technology, along with capturing video in 1080p @60fps, whilst T-Mobile TV enables the user to stream popular entertainment on demand, and watch live TV, sports, kid’s shows, and news.






The HTC One S (codenamed Ville) is a premium smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC as part of the HTC One series which has Beats Audio and runs the Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" mobile operating system with HTC Sense. Announced by HTC on 26 February 2012, the HTC One S was scheduled for official release on 2 April 2012. The first phones were sold on March 30. In the United States, the One S is carried by T-Mobile and Solavei.

Slotted between the low-end HTC One V and the high-end HTC One X in the HTC One lineup, the One S's specs and positioning are close to that of the flagship One X. The One S and One X sold in North America share the same dual-core processor, though the One S lacks LTE. The One S has an aluminum body and a 4.3-inch 960x 540 pixel (qHD) Super AMOLED display with PenTile matrix with a pixel density of 256 pixels per inch, compared to the One X's polycarbonate body and a 4.7-inch (120 mm) 1,280x720 pixel (RGB matrix) Super LCD 2 display with a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch. The One S's use of a PenTile display makes it more energy efficient and thinner than equivalent LCD screens, giving it better battery life than the One X.

 While their rear-facing cameras use identical 8-megapixel sensors, for the front-facing camera the One S has a VGA cam and video capture fixed at 640 x 480 resolution compared to the One X's 1.3-megapixel sensor with 720p HD video capture. In North America, the One S and One X are usually not sold by the same carrier, for instance T-Mobile and Telus offer the One S, while AT&T and Rogers sell the One X.
