Kay to give an update for the time I got to play with HTC one S phone at the t-mobile store, one, you can read the apps tray, as for the home screen I need to play with that more, no biggy though that can bee replaced. 2. my friend who has this phone can see her in call screen, along with the key pad to dial. She is able to use the stock phone dialer as well. I will report back with more as I ask her. I wanted this phone but no micro SD card slot was the deal braker for me.
