Getting a new smartphone - HTC One X

[Scrumhalf]

My contract expires in July. Looking to see what comes out later this year before taking the plunge... In the meantime, the "OK Google" stuff is freaking amazing. Voice recognition algorithms are very good! :thumup:

Bump!

Just installed the Google Experience launcher on my HTC Onx X. Now I have all the Google Now goodness from the Nexus 5. Decided to go for a clean look on the home screen...

looks like my htc is going to get jelly bean before you S3 owners. :P

Will just give us a message on screen that update us available. Only thing I would add is an imessage type service where I can send pics and videos without limits of size.

Don't get why people want removable battery. It ads bulk and weight. Why the s3 is fat compared to one x. I will never keep my phone long enough to need a new battery. 2 years and I get new phone.

I agree about the battery, I usually keep a phone 6-8 months. But how bad would it suck if in month 14 your battery became completely shot? No more manufacture warranty, no way to hop on the net and order a battery for $40. Then that built in battery doesn't seem so cool. Built in battery and soldered RAM are the reasons that I will never buy a apple laptop.

Have you used the HDR on the camera bro? It is really good. I was surprised.... I almost always use HDR now with any pics I take.

Yup I have. Good stuff

Cool! Do the upgrades get pushed to the phone automatically or do we have to do anything?

By the way there isn't a single thing that I would fix about my phone. It is badass. Fast as hell, the screen is a dream, camera is really good with surprisingly good HDR, beats audio.....

Probably the only thing to make it better would be a removable battery and HDMI out, but neither is a major issue for me personally.

Damn. I was leaning towards the SGIII, now this car dock has me torn again.

HTC One X Car Upgrade Kit (CAR D110)

Scrum, get that car dock and throw the tomtom away.

Do either of you (B or Scrum) use the car mode feature? Do you know if it transmits audio over BT?

I am in the car a lot, so I may get the One x and the car dock with the savings over the SGIII.

yes it transmits over bt
