Originally posted by nygaflmd-nole: This is great info Desi. Currently wrestling with: Sprint vs ATT, HTC One X or LTE vs Sammy S3, and buy at Costco vs. Bestbuy. Bestbuy is currently offering a $50 GC + $230 trade in on Iphone 4. = New phone and $80 of BB giftcards. For me, the Sprint plan would come out cheaper, but the uncertainty about their LTE and general spottiness are a major detractor.  ATT bill is currently high due to the need for their 1500 minute plan. Curious to hear your impression of the One X as you use it more...as that is the leader in the clubhouse.  Internal memory isn't a big issue, and I hear: Sense > Touchwiz, OneX screen > S3 screen, and build of One X is more solid than S3. I've only had the phone for about 18 hours or so, but this thing is quite impressive.  The screen is immaculate and the construction of the device is excellent.  It feels light and is easy to hold.  I got the black HTC One X, but am regretting it a bit.  I really like the look of the white one, but it was late at Costco yesterday.  If I end up deciding to keep the One X, I'll prob take it back to Costco to swap it for a white one. As for the phone, the settings with HTC are quite different than ICS for Samsung.  I'm not a big fan of Sense.  I had an HTC Hero before and the first thing I'd always do is look for a ROM that wasn't Sense based and change out my home launcher.  While Sense may look pretty, it tends to want to gobble up battery and bog down your processor.  I popped Nemus Launcher on mine last night after a couple hours with Sense.  Since I'm not rooted yet, I can't remove or disable Sense, so it's still slowing the phone down.  Alas, the processor is fast enough to power through.  I'm not sure I see much of a speed improvement coming from my GS2 rooted and running ICS.  That Exynos processor is a beast, amazing how that phone still keeps up with the new kids without much problem. I am not a fan of the soft button selection HTC went with.  I miss the dedicated search button and menu button.  I don't give a rats arse about a Multitask button, I never use that anyways.  I use Power Strip to multitask. Battery life seems to be about what I expected:  decent, but the screen seems to chomp up battery when the screen is on.   The phone is very easy on the battery when the screen is off, which is an improvement from my GS2.  I have a Gmail account, corporate e-mail set to push (email, calendard, contacts, etc), Words with Friends, Facebook (notificaitons off), and a few others.  I'm going to put it through its paces this week.  I've been texting quite a bit and surfed the web all through my class this morning.  All and all, 1 hr 25min of screen on and phone is around 64% right now.  That equates to about 4 hours of screen on time before the phone dies (give or take).  That's on par with my GS2.  I'm sure me downloading stuff and using quite a bit of data contributed to that as well, so I'll give it a few more days to see if that evens out. Overall, my two initial concerns are still my concern:  Battery life and expandable memory via Micro SD card.  I don't think I can overlook these two.   Unless reviews for the US Version of the GS3 are terrible, I'll likely be swapping this one out for a white GS3. 6/19 1:51 PM | IP: Logged
