Rated 4 out of 5 by buffalo Great device
Before I get into my review of the One S, I want to say my last phone was the HTC Nexus One. That phone is going on 2.5 years old, and still preformed great, so much so that my main motivation for getting a new device was 1. increased storage (the Nexus One has a now-tiny 512Mb of internal memory) and 2. The latest Android OS. So, my frame of reference is from that device to this one.
Getting a One S is getting a new phone in every sense of the word. It takes a micro-SIM card, so you can't swap in your old one, and the SD card is internal as well. It wasn't a big deal to me, but it may be for some. A slight downer was that the phone was not even halfway charged out of the box. As such, I left it charging overnight and didn't really get use it until the next day.
Once I did get to use it, I was very impressed. If you've read any reviews, it's been mentioned the screen quality isn't as good as the One X, but coming from the Nexus One, it's a noticeable improvement and I didn't feel the screen quality was really lacking. I haven't had much experience with the Sense UI, though it feels like the new version integrates pretty well with Android 4.0.
I've only had the phone a couple days, but the overall performance is good I have no complaints in that area. When using the music app, I was pleasantly surprised to discover music controls available from the lockscreen. Another bonus is that Dropbox is pre-installed, and HTC users get a huge bump in storage (25 GB) free for two years.
As for negatives, those are few are far between, but worth noting.
1. Dropbox is a plus, but there are several pre-installed apps I could have done without, 10 in fact.
2. The alarm clock app isn't quite the same, which I'm still trying to find a good replacement.
3. Though the device does come with Gorilla Glass, it's only damage-resistant, not damage-proof. So, it's probably a good idea to put a screen protector on.
4. The keyboard does have a Swype-like feature to it, but it doesn't seem to be as accurate as Swype.
Hope this review helps!

Rated 5 out of 5 by slicric Best Phone of the Year!
This device is the best due to its speed, performance, battery life, camera speed, screen, Ice Cream Sandwich and smoothness. Beats by Dre definitely makes a difference when listening to my music. I love this phone and I have only had it for a week. Best experience compared to other devices that I have had. Thank you HTC!

Rated 5 out of 5 by magbmw "The most beautifully designed phone"
I love everything about the phone I love the All aluminum body and very slim design.. awesome camera with fast response a shutter speed. I can't wait for the desk cradles and the media link to be available to purchase.. Don't be fooled too much the the One x.. this phone has a huge screen... go and play with it at the store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Slackersince86 BEST T-MOBILE PHONE
I could not believe how fast and responsive this phone is. I have had other HTC phones and this one is amazing. Very thin yet feels solid and the screen is clear and super sharp. I haven't played with all the features yet and I suspect that I will be discovering new ones for a while. There's lots of apps that come pre installed. Calls are very clear and speaker can get real loud. Ok don't even get me started on the camera simply the best. Ditch your pocket cam for quick shots your new HTC ONE S is all you will need. The touch screen keyboard is super responsive and easy to type even for someone with big fingers like myself.

Rated 2 out of 5 by thenthomwaslike the screen button is unresponsive within 2 days
this phone has 3 buttons; volume up, volume down, and the power/screen button. after 2 days of feather-light use on my first smartphone the power button has become unresponsive. it's a major design flaw to make a phone with such a fragile main button which was protected by a D30 case, never dropped once, and never saw a bit of water. those 2 days where it actually worked were very nice though, but if i were you i wouldn't sign a contract for it. I will be dropping by the t-mobile store tomorrow to hopefully get it replaced with something better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrslimm From Sensation to the One
My sensation is a good phone and still love today. I brought the One S cause i was reading reviews and watching videos and fell in love with the phone from that alone. After buying it I fell in love even more. The phone is very responsive, the screen is crisp and clear, i have no problem with it as some might. The lack of a microSD slot was a let down but it doest have enough memory for me. The camera is another plus very nice. Beats by dr. dre, I dont have the beats headphone but I do hear a difference in quailty but not much. Overall i rate the phone a 9 out of 10, it would be a 10 if there was a microSD slot.
