*** The official HTC One X thread ***

[memyselfandi]

I think that the white version looks better ... when new .... but I've gone for the dark version as the white one will just get too grubby over time.

hmmm ... Yodel tracking says mine is out for delivery, being Yodel though that means I'll get it a week on Thursday ...

Good point on the white showing dirt after a while.....

 

[The Asgard]

Pretty miffed at the moment. Pre Ordered from BuyMobilePhones.Net who promised delivery for tomorrow. Recieved an Email last night saying it would be 10-15 working days before I get the phone. Still states April 5th on the website.

Not impressed to say the least.

The deal was

O2 £36 On & On

Unlimited cross-network mins + Unlimited Texts + 1GB Mobile Internet Browsing + UK Wi-Fi via O2 & BT Openzone + Priority Moments • 24 months

£75 automatic cash back.

Any better deals? I'm going to cancel if I can find one on O2.

Won't be an issue if you look after it, I'm aware that some people don't however...

Yes Robbo

I have a iPhone 4 and it is 2 years old and still in near mint condition...

Sod it I'm going for the white looks wicked!

 

[kingbal]

Where's the best deal now then?

I'm tempted by the 12 month Vodafone:

600 Mins
Unlimited Texts
1GB Data
2GB BT Openzone
Beats headphones

£41/month
£139 up front

 

[Begbie]

Any decent reviews floating around yet?

Espically the battery?

 

[uvarvu]

What about the review at The Verge? The managed to achieve fourteen hours with "normal" usage.

 

[Em3bbs]

Has anyone had problems with Quidco and the O2 website?

Have you contacted them? I thought they were meant to be one of the better online stores.

Just range them. Apparantly the email is an error due to the pre order status. Plenty in stock so I should get it tomorrow. Great news

Smoothness is down to gpu acceleration which all Ics based phones will have.

Ahh, that sounds much better! The big thing I've always noticed about Android phones is the slight judder in their UI.

You'll get your wish at the end of the year, in both Android and WP8 flavours.

Oh and err plasma electrolytic oxide treated aluminium is better than glorified polystyrene. The best in satellite technology vs a rather annoying packing material? Tough choice

9 months...? Too long... And how do you know anyway?

Personally I like unibody phones, whether they are decent plastic or metal (which is why I think the GS2 isn't very nice and the 800 is stunning). Unfortunately the One S isn't unibody, it's metal with some off colour plastic lugs at either end IMO.

 

[Sash]

Received mine this morning

 

[Robbo]

Wrong colour! Very nice though.

Haha, I used to have the Xperia X10 in white and didn't like it as much. I find nicks show up less in dark than in white.

Now to root it and get my sim card cut up to microsim it!

 

[Jabbs]

Looks good, the colour is fine think I would always go with a black phone over a white.

 

[The Asgard]

Lucky man..

Is there rooting already?

One thing that concerns me with the One X and rooting is the lack of access to the RAM. What happens he you need to access the memory due to a bad ROM. You just can't slip the card out and do what ever with a card reader.

I'm concerned about the lack of access to the battery. A few times I've had a dodgy ROM or something on my HTC and I've had to pull the battery. If it happens on the One X, it's screwed

Usually if you press and hold the power button for a while it has the same effect, especially on phones with a non-removable battery. I imagine it will be something they've ensured will work.
