Well my Desire S with sense 3... quite a bit actually :p
If you read the engadget comparison between the S and the X its pretty good, there is a few other elements to the discussion than just the SOC. Most notable one being the screen, full 720p sold it for me.

Comparing my current Desire with the HTC One X...I found it rather interesting to see some similarities between them.
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
It has arrived...only one word..
Wow.
:D
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
mine was delivered but they refused to leave it with a neighbour so i have to go and pick it up from a post office down the road. Bit of a pain in the arse as i was looking forward to playing around with it tonight :(

Makes me wish my damm contract for my Desire HD was ending sooner then the end of the year! What you make of the new Sense? I can't say I miss it since rooting my phone ...
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
any ideas on a case or a cover of some sort yet Dave? I dont wanna leave mine unprotected for long!
I would also be interested in the screen flaw that CNET mentioned in their review, is yours like this?

Re: The HTC One X discussion thread

More detailed report to come tonight
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
I can't wait until tonight, report now please, thankyou!
Out of contract with my Desire and struggling to pick between the One X, the SGSII, the SGSIII and the Nexus.

And this is why I finally opted for the Galaxy Note. The One X is a beautiful piece of kit, but the size and quality of the Note won me over :iloveyou: Epic device.
Sorry One X, if you had a 5.3" screen like the Note then I wouldn't have doubted you for a second :whip:
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
I guess its a preference thing, but i like to be able to put my phone in my pocket. :p
Im sure the note is a great device, but its designed to be halfway between two markets and thats what it does.
I still stand by my opinion that samsung phones dont have the same rigid feeling that HTCs have, although i will admit the One X doesnt feel quite as solid as my Desire S, but i think thats more because it actually is plastic rather than aluminium.
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
Yeah the move to plastic from Aluminium does kinda make it feel not os sturdy but holding and playign with it instore I thought it felt really solid. Much more so than the galaxy s2
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
galaxy note looks terrible IMO

Tried the screen thing, couldn't see anything - maybe I wasn't pressing hard enough. Doubt it'll be an issue though.

I have had a look at cases, not made any commitments though. I do like the idea of this one

Na i wont bother with a screen protector, with gorilla glass a decent case should be enough to protect it.
Mine actually does the screen thing, its not massively noticeable and you do have to press quite hard but it does do it. Its not a deal breaker mind, nowhere near the antennae-gate issue of the iphones (i say this because thats what its being compared to in the CNET comments).
Re: The HTC One X discussion thread
If you are on Vodafone (I am) and have a SureSignal (like me) then you may have an issue with the new handset not being accepted by the SureSignal, and therefore lacking the better coverage it provides.
Apparently, the SureSignal box works off a network level ID not the mobile phone number, and it doesn't always carry across the change of SIM number as happens when you move from one sim card to another (in my case from a full sized sim to a MicroSim). I phoned Vodafone after I noticed the lack of consistent signal quality, so they did it all for me. If they are busy, the solution as explained is below:
Solution is to unregister your phone from the SureSignal and re-register it, which is simple unless you are the account holder and the SureSignal is registered to you. In which case you need to transfer ownership, unregister yourself, and then re-register and transfer ownership back. Don't ask me how you do it if you are the single user of a SureSignal box which is registered to you.
