Overall our first impressions of the Windows Phone 8S are positive. While we didn't get the same wow factor that we got playing with Nokia's new Lumia handsets, HTC's Windows Phone 8 series phones do look and feel nice and left us eager to get a chance to...
Abstract: The 8X may be HTC's new flagship Windows Phone 8 device but the Taiwanese company has outed a smaller, mid-range device, too. The Windows Phone 8S is just as vibrant and bright as its bigger brother but has a smaller, 4in screen and lacks a front-facing c...

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.
