HTC One X or Samsung Note 2?

[y2w2003]

Hey guys, been reading this forum the past week and specfically the two threads relating to the two phones in the title.

I would like your opinion if you think the Note 2 is worth paying £37 a month for on a 24 month contract or am I better off getting the HTC One X (16gb model) at £21 a month.

Is the £16 a month difference for a Note 2 worth it?

Thanks

Is their anything else thats different, I mean I would take the N2 in a heart beat over the 1X, but what's data allowance like?

Get 1gb data which would be nice with the Note 2 and only 250mb data with the One X but I pretty much have wifi available to me most of the time.

And unlimited minutes for the N2 where as I get 300 mins for the One X but I rarely go over that 300 minute figure.

So its really a case of is the Note 2 worth the extra outlay. I presume it would hold its value quite well?

If you think you can get used to the extra size of the Note2, then it really should be a class above the OneX.

I have an order in for an LTE Note2, but it hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment on specifics. It's getting extremely high praise from those who have used it though, especially in regards to the quality of the screen and the long battery life.

I think I could get used to the size, I've played with it a couple of times and now the S3 and One X look small in comparison hah.

MPD have the note 2 (non-LTE) for free, 36 a month, ult texts + data, 2000 mins + free t-mobile mins. I got this deal and it's an amazing phone, truly the best. Makes all other phones look like puny toys, if anyone shows me their new iPhone 5 I'm gonna laugh so hard !

I would have got LTE, but tbh I believe the prices are going to be a rip off & if I'm honest I don't need faster internet on my phone.

I'm upgrading as i'm with Vodafone so I don't have the option of T-Mobile.

I wouldn't hesitate on the Note 2 normally but it is basically on the maximum of what I can afford so I just want to be sure its the right move.

Screw it you guys and everyone else I've spoken to has convinced me to take the plunge, now white or grey?!

Dialaphone, Mobiles.co.uk or buymobilephones.net Which company would you recommend? They all do the same deal.

I couldn't do quidco cos I am upgrading so that wasn't a factor for me. I called buymobilephones.net and they said they can't do upgrades with Vodafone and then they lied and said only Vodafone directly do upgrades to which I told him was a lie and left quickly after.

mobilephonesdirect thought I had mug written across my forehead saying I couldn't get any of the deals on the site for new connections and instead my cheapest option was £41 a month with £9.99 handset price. So I called Dialaphone who I upgraded with last time and promptly was able to get the same deal as a new user.

The only annoying thing is that I couldn't get it sent to my current address in Nottingham where I am studying so its being sent to London which is a pain in the arse and from there I'm going to have to get it sent by someone back to me! Can't bear the wait argh!

Haha Raventu I definitely can tell you are a happy customer and along with everyone else who has one, everyone is raving about the phone which helped me take the plunge.

IMO the note II is a clear winner BUT..........only if you don't mind the size.

Touchwiz version on the note II looks great features wise, S pen, far better battery life (best there is), audio, better 1080P and slow motion recording, multi-tasking amongst other wee things.

Main advantages of the X IMO are:

- looks/design
- sense

And for a lot of people, screen quality.

Yep, I have had a play around with it and at first I thought yeah its maybe just a little too big but a couple more times looking and playing with it, I was coming round to the idea.

I'm sure I will adapt to it and enjoy the larger screen more.

If not, it's worth £500 odd so I could sell it and get something else and pocket the rest.

Haha mate, the phone is brilliant! This is coming from someone who didn't believe in big phones before I was turned by this masterpiece.

I'm actually going out tomorrow night so I can get back to you on how it handles drunk texting haha.

I don't have another micro sim compatible phone!

Im happy to report the phone handled a night out perfectly fine, I even somehow managed to set it to one hand keyboard mode without trying to hah!
