Getting a new smartphone - HTC One X

[Bouncer]

Well fuck, I cracked my phone screen today....first time ever messing up a smartphone.

I know you don't switch like me B, so are you keeping the One X for 2 years? I think I will use my October upgrade and get the One X (even if something with better specs is out, trying to be cheap as possible), and due to school I must keep it for 2 years basically. No extra money laying around to semi flip phones every 6 months. Sometimes the deal works in my favor, and a few times I pay, but I have been doing a 4-6 month flip for years. Time to end the sickness.

I think the One X would serve me good for 2 years.

Yea Bro, I dont have any plans on getting a new phone until my contract is up in 2 years and i quilify for a new phone.

something else you will be glad to hear is that i have dropped my htc on my wooden floors about 10 times so far with no issue. the way its desigend with the unibody polycarbonte that sort of cradles the screen its a damn strong phone.

Do you have an iPhone now? And how are you getting new phones every 4-6 months without paying a ton?

yea like turbo said, ebay. i sold my 2 year old 3gs for $155 something and bought the One X for $150.

check out ebay, you will be amazed at what people pay even for phones with scratches etc..

I am no noob. I have had Samsung craptivate and HTC inspire which both run android. Time to go back to droid, I hear that the battery life is actually good with the One X. My inspire had horrible batt life.

i have to charge it every night but i am a pretty heavy user. i wish i could turn the screen off when i am listening to music on youtube, thats what drains the battery the most. i couldnt turn the screen off with youtube on the iphone either.

the screen is super bright so you can get away with screen brightness being set pretty low. i can see the screen fine in the car even with screen set this low.

maybe if you didnt live in Podunk and lived near big time baller city like me you could have some modern amenities you hick

[Scrumhalf]

BS... they rolled out 3G here before everywhere else. Seattle and Portland have always been one of the early test beds for new tech because, well we are just cooler than most other places.. :thumup:

This is the first time, Portland has not been in the mix early... do not like.

Is there a speed test app that you use to test that?

Scrum download google currents also, love it.

[Scrumhalf]

Yep, that's one of the first things I loaded. I have a hard time figuring out how all that content is free... hope I don't get a gigantic bill later lol....

Loving it so far!!!

Almost forgot, download google sky map.

Almost forgot, download google sky map.

Yea cool app....that new Samsung phone is bad ass.

[blm]

Almost forgot, download google sky map.

Star Chart is even better; for a couple bucks it's worth it, imo. For the novice astronomer wanna-be (like myself); it overlays images over constellations and make sit easier to identify what your looking at. Either way, at the very least google sky is a must have (agreed).
