The Orange HTC Windows Phone 8S is what you might call the middleweight in the range of the HTC 8 series of mobile phones, which represent the Taiwanese manufacturer's first joint venture alongside Windows. With blistering Beats Audio technology featuring alongside the brand spanking new Windows 8 OS, HTC has really come up trumps here.
You really have to admire the craftsmanship that's gone into the HTC 8S. This sleek two-tone handset weighs in at a titchy 113g. Comprised of polycarbonate materials and cocooned in a matte plastic finish, it sports a rather pretty 4.0" WVGA LCD display with 480x800-pixel resolution protected by Gorilla Glass.
Intelligently designed, the 8S on Orange is a blocky, eye-catching little number with touch-sensitive buttons arranged beneath the screen and a dedicated camera button that gives you instant access to the 5MP camera on board. The lower back of the phone snaps apart, revealing a slot to stow your microSD card, which is where you'll be wanting to store all your MP3s to take advantage of the great sound quality that Beats Audio integration (exclusive to the HTC range) provides.
But let's talk about what you'll find inside. The Orange HTC 8S is filled to the brim with a whole host of entertaining apps and quality features, all of which are accessible through the swanky Windows 8 user interface. Windows Live Tiles intuitively display all the info you need right on your homescreen and you can rearrange them to suit your needs. A fantastic multimedia phone, Windows Phone 8S on 3 is only made better by the inclusion of Xbox Live and the Windows Phone Store. What's more it's all going to swish along smoothly, courtesy of the 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor inside.
If you're after a great performing smartphone that delivers entertainment, great connectivity and style in affordable abundance, the HTC Windows Phone 8S is definitely the one for you.
