Sprint HTC 8XT finally available for purchase, as Windows Phone returns to the carrier

Way back at the showtime of 2022, Dart announced that they were returning to the Windows Phone fold with two new devices slated for release at a later time. Those devices, i from HTC and 1 from Samsung, were not revealed until months later, prolonging what has to be an endurance run for those on Sprint and who savor Microsoft.

Today, July 19th, the company has finally put on sale the HTC 8XT (previously known every bit the Tiara), an interesting new release from the OEM that seemingly combines the all-time aspects of the 8X, 8S (bottom half) and One, into a adequately solid looking mid-range Windows Telephone.

The device features a four.iii" ~~720P~~ WVGA brandish (480x800), 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, microSD expansion and an 8MP rear camera, which should satisfy near casual users. The biggest selling point is the focus on audio though, as the 8XT features "congenital-in amp, Beats Audio™ and HTC BoomSound™" with the latter pregnant information technology sports to front-facing speakers.

That telephone tin at present exist purchased presumably by walking into a Sprint store or ordering online via this link. The phone's final cost is $99 merely that's simply later on a $50 postal service-in-rebate. Off-contract, the phone goes for a reasonable $399.

Then who in our audience is running down to become one? Sound off in comments and let united states know your feel.
