The form factor of the phone is pretty strong and robust. It feels good in the hands. The user interface if the Windows phone 8 is beautiful & fun to use. The beats audio enhances the music quality & gives out a rich clear sound with pure bass. The camera shutter button is an added advantage. The camera is good even in low lighting.
The phone is good with its features but there are a few big drawbacks. Firstly there is no front camera. With Skype integrated for windows, video calling won’t be possible on this phone. Moreover it has just 4 GB of internal storage of which only 1.6 GB is usable. It also lacks NFC. Windows Phone apps cannot be transferred to external memory.

The HTC Windows Phone 8S has arrived at the UK scene and is already available in several stores (both real and online). The phone aims to provide affordable entry into the tile-filled world of Windows Phone 8.
The best deal at the moment is offered by Three UK - you can grab the 8S for £180 off contract or free with a two-year contract starting from £17/month. This is for the Atlantic Blue model. Deliveries start Monday, December 10.
Clove UK also carry the HTC 8S but they have put a £225 price tag on it. Expansys UK and Amazon UK both have it at £240. That's for the Blue model again, though Expansys has the other color options on pre-order. Argos has the phone too, but at £300. We're just mentioning it in case they decide to start some promotion and cut the price significantly.
Anyway, if you prefer to get the Windows Phone 8S on contract but not on Three, you can head over to Phones4u, which has offers for Vodafone (£21/month), Orange (£28.50/month) and T-Mobile (£36/month). Carphone Warehouse also has deals for Vodafone.
