This phone has gotten good reviews and the screen is supposed to be amazing, i'm tempted if Samsung doesn't announce the Galaxy S3 anytime soon.

I wouldn't sit around waiting for the SGS3...That won't be released here until late this year. Based on history, the phone will be released late summer around July.

HTC generally has a better build quality than Samsung. Their phones are solid inside/out and rarely run into problems. I enjoy having Sense on my phone because I can always root the phone and get rid of it and go to Vanilla rom if I want. However, you can't take your vanilla rom and put on stock Sense; so having a phone with Sense is best of both words, imo.

I might just go for the HTC One S because it reminds me of the Nexus One. I loved the build and feel of that phone. Telus has or is coming out with it, so I imagine the prices will be drop significantly in the next little while.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised that their flagship One X is only polycarbonate vs the One S micro arc ceramics.

My sis just got the white one.

like others have said, it gets hot...yes HOT. It makes you feel uncomfortable that it might explode or fuck something up inside. Another issue is the white version, it is very annoying to keep it clean. Actually, it is impossible to keep it clean as new. My sis is pissed that there's already a big long blue mark on her phone and nothing she can do about it.

OEM headphone, even it supports Beats, you can forget about it. Pay a little bit more for the Beats headphone. It's so much better (obviously).

Speed is the least concern. I am using Asus TP and Tegra should run anything SMOOTH at this point. S2 is still faster enough for everyday application.

Resale value. I see people has begun to sell it after the first week. Normally 5% off the retail price.

does LG manufacture the IPS screen just like for the iphone? Looks like the north americans get the 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor for LTE

S II came out in May...and July in Canada...you are probably thinking of the 4.5" versions (S II X and the S II LTE)

Maybe a system update will fix the heat issue. Happened on my last 2 phones where an update reduced the amount of heat.

well i really liked the design with the nokia-esque polycarbonate shell etc etc and before the reviews actually came out the camera was touted to be a killer

but most of what i was looking forward too didn't meet expectations (even the housing since it stains something nokia predicted hence the gloss coat)

but yeah i was definitely thinking about it :P


808 Pureview is still my next

i just ordered the white HTC One x premium edition ~ might as well get the beat solo headset with it for $100 ~~ screw the XL... 16gb storage with prolly less than 9gb available after rom and shit ain't gonna work for me.. no LTE but i doubt i'll be using it to stream stuff considering the lack of battery life nowadays on smartphones..

i admit id like to try one out as well ive been looking at rogers booths etc but i havent seen them around

only thing that sucks about the 900 imo is it doesnt have the curved screen like the n9/800


I've heard a lot of ppl dis SenseUI but looking at it it looks great imo i don't get why people like touchwiz over it ?

Curved screen...i dont even notice it anymore on my GalaxyNexus

SenseUI looks great, but it doesnt do anything out of the ordinary aside from looking good, in which widgets can replace that clock, or their widgets. Aside from that their launcher looks okay.

TouchWiz is just simple..still bad haha
