Techradar posted a review on the HTC Windows Phone 8S



HTC have been a major Windows Phone player for a while now, arguably second only to Nokia in their output. With Samsung eating up much of their Android market share and Microsoft launching an exciting new version of Windows Phone, the platform is obviously going to be a key area of focus for the Taiwanese firm.

So it's no surprise that they haven't hung around to release some Windows Phone 8 handsets, with both the mid range HTC Windows Phone 8S and its big brother the HTC Windows Phone 8X competing for your attention.

As there aren't many Windows Phone 8 handsets yet the HTC 8S doesn't have a whole lot of direct competitors. Its main competitor is probably the Nokia Lumia 820, but even that is a fair bit pricier, as the HTC Windows Phone 8S can be picked up for around £240 (around $365/AU$345), while the Nokia Lumia 820 will set you back closer to £360 (around $650/AU$649).
