T-Mobile HTC One S arriving next week in the US
Posted on April 19th, 2012 | Filed under: HTC

The T-Mobile HTC One S that was announced back at the MWC in February, is all set to be made available in the US on April 25. This device offers a generous scoop of Ice Cream Sandwich and takes advantage of HTC Sense 4 that brings features like ImageSense, enhanced audio and more.

The smartphone runs the 4G network speed and is currently available only through T-Mobile in the US. It gets steam from the dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU that processes at a speed of about 1.5GHz. Like most other recent HTC devices, it also boasts of the Dr. Dre certification that is responsible for improved audio reproduction through this phone. Additionally, the company now offers 25GB free cloud storage for constant access to digital content at all times.

“The HTC One series is a revolutionary device portfolio and we’re proud to be the first carrier to introduce the HTC One S to the U.S. market. With a stunningly thin design that doesn’t compromise performance, the HTC One S is a sleek 4G smartphone with beauty and brains that our customers will be proud to show off,” quoted Andrew Sherrard, senior vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA.

And what’s more, the front panel of the HTC One S is dominated by a qHD Super AMOLED screen that provides a multi-touch real estate spanning 4.3 inches. The sleek device with thickness of about 7.95mm employs a 1650mAh battery for a long-lasting performance. The 8MP camera works in tandem with the ImageSense technology to allow recording 1080p videos and also clicking images while shooting. Its communication options are inclusive of Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi and the embedded HDMI connector lets users view its content on a big screen HDTV.

The T-Mobile HTC One S release date and price details stand at April 25 and $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the current views of Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future events. These forward-looking statements may include statements with regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings, profits from operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows and personnel-related measures. You should consider them with caution. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom’s control. Among the factors that might influence our ability to achieve our objectives are the progress of our workforce reduction initiative and other cost-saving measures, and the impact of other significant strategic, labour or business initiatives, including acquisitions, dispositions and business combinations, and our network upgrade and expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition, technological change, legal proceedings and regulatory developments, among other factors, may have a material adverse effect on our costs and revenue development. Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact on our business development and the availability of financing on favourable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future cash flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at historical cost, which may materially affect our results at the group and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved. Without prejudice to existing obligations under capital market law, we do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to take new information or future events into account or otherwise.

In addition to figures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Deutsche Telekom also presents non-GAAP financial performance measures, including, among others, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, free cash flow, gross debt and net debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are not subject to IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles. Other companies may define these terms in different ways.

Following the launch of its new Alter Ego ad campaign yesterday, T-Mobile just made its new “Test Drive” tool available for comparing the speed of “American’s Largest 4G Network” to other guys— Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon. Unfortunately, as pointed out by TMONews, the carrier is comparing 4G LTE Android handsets, such as the Galaxy S II, to the 3G speeds of the iPhone 4S. This is obviously not a fair comparison of LTE network speeds…

T-Mobile’s TestDrive website is now live and I will say at first glance, I’m disappointed. I’ll just get right to it — T-Mobile, I’m really puzzled by this. The idea that you claim “America’s largest 4G network” and design a new commercial campaign around speed and then compare your “4G” network against “3G” smartphones is a questionable act. Speed should no longer be the focus of T-Mobile’s marketing campaign, Value and Technology should. Speed should be a secondary thought. If you can’t win on speed, highlight where you can, Value, Value, Value.
