As the name suggests, the Windows Phone 8S by HTC is an important blower. It’s got Microsoft’s blessing, so it should be a benchmark of what to expect from Windows Phone. Unlike the big daddy Windows Phone 8X, the 8S is designed as an affordable, entry...
While we’ve enjoyed the three Windows Phone 8 blowers that have hit stores so far - the Windows Phone 8X, Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 - none of them have been, to put it politely, slim. If the Lumia 920 is a tank, the Windows Phone 8S is a Smart car. The four-inch screen is sharp, colourful and just the right size for those without basketball-player paws. And the hardware too is beautiful: the...
Most of the problems we have with Windows Phone 8 can be laid at Microsoft’s door, and until the next update, we’re going to keep bringing them up. Multi-tasking is still confusing (You can only go back to where you were in an app via the multi-tasking tray - reopening from the start screen reloads the entire app); Internet Explorer does a poor job of rendering websites built for Android and iPho...
In the pursuit of bigger and bigger phones, it feels like a void’s been left for reasonable sized, reasonably priced smartphones. For those who don’t want or can’t afford a top notch iPhone, the Windows Phone 8S by HTC fills that admirably. Despite a f...

What it lacks in specs it makes up for in versatility, and I have no doubt that the 8S will find a cushy spot in the prepaid Canadian market.
