CINCINNATI--()--Cincinnati Bell Wireless, a division of Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE: CBB), today announced the addition of the HTC One™ S to its 4G Android™ smartphone lineup. The HTC One S will be available from Cincinnati Bell beginning June 25.

One of the thinnest and most powerful smartphones available, the HTC One S integrates HTC Sense® 4, a new version of HTC’s branded user experience featuring HTC ImageSense™ with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 processor.
