You can get a new HTC One X, with a minimal contract. Total cost £381.

Ant and Jack you're boring. Why spend your time on a thread like this turning it into a p!ssing contest with Apple like you always do. Why not let the people who are interested in the phone just discuss it?

You can get the phone free now, at £26 p/m. For existing T-Mobile customers there's some spanking deals coming the next few days Some already secured.

The op turned it in to a pissing contest on his very first post.

How else did you expect the thread to go , but it's ok for you and the usual people to join in on the apple threads.

Double standards.

If this was a thread about an Apple device it would be moved and locked by now.

Putting aside the attempts to compare the features I will say that the marketing is good.

I followed on from that great video by watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAOmx...eature=related it's cringeworthy, the bloke so wants the One X to be better but falls flat on his face every time.

Was that you Jack? you sound like Borat

Why did he fall flat on his face, he made a subjective judgement over both phones. Don't forget I have access to both the 4s and One X, the camera does perform better on the One X.

The browser will appear to lag, the 4s doesn't have wrap around text. If I switch to a different browser and switch off wrap around, then its silky smooth. I prefer to wrapped text.

Come on, some of the comparisons were hilarious. The only thing that the iPhone lost out on was a bigger screen, which would be nice sometimes but not all the time.

Can we stop talking about iPhone in a HTC thread.

After my initial thoughts on the One being too big it isnt that much bigger than my HD.

Apart from size what differences are there between the One and the HD?

Bigger, better, higher resolution screen. More RAM, quad core 1.5GHz processor in the X compared to a single core 1GHz in the HD. Better GPU. More internal storage. Android 4 and Beats audio out of the box. Much better camera. Near Field Communications. Blue Tooth 4. Think that just about covers it.

I just got one of these on Thursday from Orange (free upgrade, 18 month contract, £21.60 a month, 600 mins, unlimited texts, 1Gb internet + 2 free swapables which I took sky sports 1/2/3/4/ESPN + free mobile TV, none of which comes out of my data allowance).

Real world battery life, I just did about 38.5 hours with what I'd class as normal usage for me so that's a big improvement on my old Desire HD (and works 4S). I love the screen, it's a big improvement on my old one and ICS 4.0 seems very responsive. Got all of my old apps and contacts on easily by using the same email address so setup was easy and the music quality is far superior to what I was used to (which was basically a speaker that sounded like a baked bean can!).

I personally much prefer it to my 4S for the size of the screen (as I find the 4S too small) but that won't be to everyones taste. And compared to the Desire HD it's just the clarity and response of the screen that is the major improvement.

I'm running Torque on it in the car car too and it's a really good display.

I`ve been trying to transfer all my phone numbers from sim to sim via bluetooth but all it copies is my email contacts!

I did it via Google, just sync your contacts on gmail on the old phone, then on the one x I used the same email address and it did it all for me. Might be easier to set that up than mess around with sending contacts via Bluetooth.

Why are you comparing a phones cloud storage with another phones on board storage. They are not the same

Ant and Jack, you really need to take a step back. You both sound like complete losers who are both desperately trying to prove that your ******* are bigger than everyone else's.

It's sad, pathetic and an embarrassment to all the other iPhone users who just want to 'get on with their lives'.

Troll. My only comment was to laugh at the ridiculous comparisons and childish images presented of iPhone users. You need to read a thread before you try to troll it.

She lost interest the moment that HTC came out of your pocket mate.

I've seen the advert for it on tv and thinks its a bit stupid.I mean out of the people who are going to have one,how many are going to parachute from an aeroplane pull out a HTC and start filming....
I know the advert as to hype the product up a little but come on,they could of done an advert that was more down to Earth,that people can relate to in everyday life that they would use it for....

Most mobile phone companies always exaggerate the capabilities of their products, but I agree that the HTC advert is rather over the top, as is the size of the phone!

+1

For once, I'd like to see the Apple Fanny Boi's not contribute to a non Apple thread.

And that's saying alot since I love my iPhone4, iPad2 and MacBook but to be honest, it's getting a bit embarrassing watching the **** contests every time these threads come up!
