Ugh, put my headphones in last night in bed and was suddenly reminded how bad HTC are at audio. If any sound is played (including screen presses) then you get about a second of audible hissing followed by a click - it's terrible! As I listen to a lod of sport/tech/comedy speech based podcasts at night before I sleep at low volume it makes this device a no-go for me. Maybe I'm used to better quality audio now but I would say this is the worst I've ever heard.

I don't think that 2GB is the RAM...

Just hope the battery lasts longer than my iPhone 3G. Service life was 4 years before it died. I wished HTC had stuck with a user replaceable battery.
My wife gets my old phone so luckily she can have my Desire.

It was on the Desire which was shared between OS and Apps. Hence all the Data++ ....

What is it then?
It's internal storage as it says, not RAM.
I just got a cracking upgrade deal from my Desire to a One X with T-Mobile. The offer was £29 for the handset, then £12 a month for 24 months with 100 mins, 500 texts, unlimited web browsing/750mb for downloads and an unlimited booster of either landline calls, T-Mobile calls or texts to any network.
First impressions are it's really nicely made, very quick, everything responds instantly (which was never the case on older Android phones/OSes imo). Nice and quick to set up and very easy to use.
Only downside so far is the pentile screen; I find it quite noticeable but then I am quite picky about it. Hopefully I'll get used to it, if not i'm not sure what I'll do.
Couple of snaps:
This one is ISO 1200 so it's a bit noisy, but really not that bad at all.

This review does not do any good to One X... Browser bug and flash performance needs to be fixed with an update as other say.
I would like to see One S compared to Nexus.
Nice pics, it does look great! Perfect size too. (Hmm, wonder if you could stick a transparent cover over the camera/aerial part?
)There should be a few decent alternatives over the next few months, if you decide to send it back.
I'm currently getting from Vodafone:
£31 per month
600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1GB Data
To stick to this tarrif I'd be looking at paying £149 for the handset. So the more I think about it I'm very tempted to buy the phone Sim-Free for £480 and just continue paying Vodafone.
My Vodafone contracts was customised after they removed "Unlimited Data" on my Desire, giving my 1GB rather than the standard 500mb.
Hummm, so OK, £480 is a chunk of change, but totally stock etc.

The one thing that bugs me about the One S is the fact they went to all the trouble of "micro-arcing" the metal to make it super strong then stick plastic on the bits that have the bigger chance of impact should the phone be dropped i.e. the ends and 4 corners 
How do you find top cover?
It reminds me of Desire HD bottom cover and does not bring good memories.....loose after a while etc
Where did you get this from? Sounds perfect for me.
Seems to fit really well, but then I've only had the phone for 2 hours so it's hard to say what it'll be like.
Best deal for the One S I've found so far is here, think I'll get this one

Gotta mess around with cashback, but total cost would be £481.
Plus with them being part of CPW, the phone may come unlocked, a bonus for using overseas sims on hols.
