Any more local UK based confirmation on blue stock? If it is delayed until "early June" then that's a major bummer and I may be forced to opt for the white one instead which I don't want but will live with. I can't imagine just what could cause problems on the back of the blue so I imagine it's just a case of manufactured stock levels perhaps?

I haven't found any English reports yet so take it with a pinch of salt. That said, Tweakers.net is pretty reliable and if they publish an article saying an anonymous source told them directly about this (600,000 back covers to be destroyed!), then it may well be true. We'll see...
Interesting review on The Verge, getting more and more tempted!
I had a look at the Siri v SVoice video on that. Gotta love how he was getting ****ed at both phones for setting the timer abut 2:40 in. He was trying to set a timer for 3 minutes but he has a speech impediment which makes him say "set timer for free minutes" and then gets ****ed at the phones for not getting it
Why won't Siri search for places within the UK?
Also - a bit of an unfair show TBH. It makes it look like Siri is far quicker yet, if you look close, you find the iPhone is on WiFi and the S3 is on 3G... Sneaky

Argh! Orange charged me £60+ again despite my contract being £30. I've rang them up and they say they've charged me twice, i've tried without debit payment and gone back on there. They've been doing it for about a year. They must owe my **** loads!
All the reviews read more or less the same, it's great but not as amazing as it could have been. Something we could have deduced almost immediately when it was released!
The battery life sounds very good though, the (Tegra3) One X is poor at times in that regard, it tends to bug me a bit - as does the almost deal breaking 3 dot menu in all of the apps.
I actually quite like the look of the white model in the Verge and Engadget reviews too, it's not as ghastly as I first thought.
There's going to be some serious backlash if the Blue model stock problems turn out to be real... but surely some of the suppliers would have said something about it by now?

You may be right, your average person will just get whichever is cheaper and the one that they think looks better, and the One X will probably win on both of these fronts.

Here is a decent colour comparison:

Obviously pump it to 720p minimum to get a good pic
Think the blue looks nice which has settled me down somewhat LOL
Good video. I think they both look quite nice there.
Unfortunately though when outdoors (or in a well lit area) the blue won't look all that dark so will look worse.

It's funny - the blue looks nothing like that in real life.
looks pretty much like this:

I still like that colour so I'm happy.... I don't expect to get mine till circa 8th June but hey-ho.... I will pick up an SDXC card later. 16GB is plenty for now as I only have about 4GB of music/pics
Now for a case. I am looking at the Rock case (light grey) that mrk is getting but that takes ages so thinking about one of these in the meantime:
Clear Flexishield
Smoke Flexishield
They seem to protect all edges/corners as well as raising the screen up slightly if face down
