This sleek, modern Android device is free with two-year contract on this Cyber Monday. </p> <p> I think that the HTC One S was one of the best Android smartphones HTC has ever sold, though lately that doesn't mean much. Its excellent 8-megapixel camera and nimble 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor would ordinarily serve to put this handset on your short-list any day. Factor in the One S' distinctive and extremely thin chassis that's carved from a single block on anodized aluminum, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and you've got one nice Cyber Monday deal. </p> <h3>Related stories</h3> <ul> <li><a href="/8301-1023_3-57554878-93/facebook-increases-fabs-thanksgiving-sales-by-20-percent/">Facebook increases Fab's Thanksgiving sales by 20 percent</a></li> <li><a href="/8301-13845_3-57554702-58/get-a-22-inch-desktop-monitor-for-$99.99-shipped/">Get a 22-inch desktop monitor for $99.99 shipped</a></li> <li><a href="/8301-1023_3-57554704-93/amazon-kindles-cyber-monday-sales-beat-last-year/">Amazon: Kindle's Cyber Monday sales beat last year</a></li> </ul> <p> Of course Android purists will be better served by splurging on a new ... <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-34231_7-57554275/t-mobile-offers-htc-one-s-for-free/?part=rss&subj=androidatlas&tag=readMore">[Read more]</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://cnet.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645438/s/25fb7b7d/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151231087358/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25fb7b7d/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151231087358/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25fb7b7d/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/151231087358/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25fb7b7d/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/UTyZ/~4/1t-CsBG7mbM" height="1" width="1"/>";s:14:"date_timestamp";i:1353954499;}i:6;a:9:{s:5:"title";s:30:"Motorola Atrix HD now 99 cents";s:4:"link";s:56:"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/UTyZ/~3/NO3SOE715CI/";s:11:"description";s:2528:"<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-34231_7-57554228/motorola-atrix-hd-now-99-cents/?part=rss&subj=androidatlas&tag=image"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/07/12/Motorola_Atrix_HD_35371506_35371508_01_700x500.jpg" alt="" /></a></div> <p class="image-caption">The Motorola Atrix HD is 99 cents for Cyber Monday.</p> <span class="image-credit"> (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) </span> <p> A smartphone deal like this doesn't happen often.

Verizon certainly thinks so, and thanks to an unlocked SIM card slot, you can also slip in an AT&T or T-Mobile card and flip the DNA over to operate on those carriers. </p> <!--pagebreak--> <p> Now I first heard of the Droid DNA's freedom to link to American GSM networks from smartphone news site <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-verizon-droid-dna-att-or-any-other-gsm-network" >Android Central</a>, and since I had just finished reviewing the DNA, my ears perked up right away. The question is, would you really want to port a gadget like the Droid DNA over to a carrier it wasn't designed for? For me the answer is: yes, absolutely. </p> <h3>Related stories</h3> <ul> <li><a href="/8301-1035_3-57553306-94/buyer-beware-black-friday-smartphone-deals-not-so-hot/">Buyer beware: Black Friday smartphone deals not so hot</a></li> <li><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4505-6452_7-35517161.html?autoplay=true?part=rss&subj=androidatlas&tag=embed">Nokia Lumia 822, Verizon's Windows Phone take</a></li> <li>... <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-11310_7-57552483/teach-your-droid-dna-some-gsm-tricks/?part=rss&subj=androidatlas&tag=readMore">[Read more]</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://cnet.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645438/s/25f61129/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151230756151/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25f61129/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/151230756151/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25f61129/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/151230756151/u/49/f/645438/c/34938/s/25f61129/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/UTyZ/~4/rxFK3r9sbPs" height="1" width="1"/>";s:14:"date_timestamp";i:1353916500;}i:9;a:9:{s:5:"title";s:44:"Crave giveaway: Vinci Tab II tablet for kids";s:4:"link";s:56:"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/UTyZ/~3/jZjupNQ3wwI/";s:11:"description";s:2492:"<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57552861-1/crave-giveaway-vinci-tab-ii-tablet-for-kids/?part=rss&subj=androidatlas&tag=image"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/11/20/learningsystems_vincitab_main.jpg" alt="" /></a></div> <span class="image-credit"> (Credit: Vinci) </span> <p>Congrats to David A. of Torrington, Conn., for winning a Guild Wars 2 Collector's Edition and five game access codes in last week's giveaway.
