T-Mobile has given customers another reason to leave cameras and music players at home with the introduction Thursday night of the HTC One S at the Catch Roof dance lounge in New York. The lightweight 7.95mm phone, with a 4.3-inch qXD Super AMOLED display, is due in stores Wednesday, company officials said. Product managers demoed the sound of the Beats audio, which allows users to match the equalization of the phone’s audio to specific Beats headphones. DSP modes on the phone customize the sound to music genres such as jazz, they said. The phone doesn’t ship with earbuds, product manager Matt Bybee said, which helped the company meet the $199.99 price point with two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. The 8-megapixel camera offers continuous shooting in camera mode owing to a 0.2-second autofocus and 0.7-second shot time, and features panorama mode, 1080p HD video and simultaneous video and still capture. Bybee scrolled through 16 camera modes that rival the latest ones from standalone cameras including sepia, poster, negative and other “art” filters. T-Mobile also introduced a new look for spokeswoman Carly, who has shifted from feminine magenta dresses in the company’s latest ads to edgier “motorcycle leathers” and a 1000 cc Ducati superbike that are supposed to symbolize the “speed and capabilities” of Sprint’s 4G network. Bybee said T-Mobile’s HPSA+ network is available to more than 215 million Americans in 225 markets.
