When providers for the specific Windows mobile gadgets were declared on release in Oct, the Windows mobile 8S was surprisingly losing from any of the significant U.S. carriers' line-ups, with HTC only providing their leading Windows mobile 8X to perform. In a declaration launched these days, the company verified that it is not preparing on providing the 8S stateside:
The Windows mobile 8X by HTC is our trademark Windows mobile available at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon wi-fi Wireless in the U.S. With our concentrate on the Windows mobile 8X by HTC, the Windows mobile 8S is not currently organized for submission in the U.S. market.
Initially there was a lot of hype on Neowin about the HTC 8S, with customers leaving comments that they would be looking at purchasing the 8S over (the also popular) leading gadgets like the Nokia Lumia 920. For those of you in the U. s. Declares, your only choice now will be to transfer the product if you're wanting to own it, but it may be less expensive to simply get an formally available carrier-subsidized design.
