I've been trying to trade my HOX for a GS3 for a few days now but I'm getting ahead of myself so let me start from the beginning. I started out with my GNex and heard about the HOX and how amazing it was so like any other android enthusiast I immediately set my sights on acquiring one. However it wasn't as simple as that lol I tried for months to acquire one, refusing to pay cash, to no avail. With a somewhat mild sadness I gave up in defeat and made my piece with my GNex. Little did I know a ray of "hope" was gonna shine on me by way of the GS3 lol after leaks, rumors and shady speculation I immediately fell in love with it but the HOX still had a place in my heart I just could not get the simple elegance of that contour unibody silhouette out of my mind. So pushing all those mixed emotions and thoughts aside I decided to pursue the GS3. After finally acquiring one, which was a feat in and of itself, I spent a week with it and I must admit I treated it like a dirty mistress lol my GNex got shelved almost immediately and I used it every minute of that week. As the week was drawing to a close I sat down and thought about what exactly made me love the GS3 so much. Was it the design? Kinda. Was it the name? Not so much. Or was it the software? I came to the decision that this was the sorce of my affection. After coming to this realization I returned the GS3 and took my GNex of the shelf and fell for it all over again with the buttery sweet allure of Jellybean lol After using it as my daily once again I came to a settled state of mind and convinced myself that I was content in my decision to stay with the GNex. That was until I decided to peruse the marketplace on a whim. Then to what seemed to be that of a dream inside of a looking glass I saw that someone was willing to trade their HOX for a GNex. The first thought in my mind was &#&%@&&#&@* yeah!!! Lol I then preceded into making a trade and within 24 hours I had finally received my long awaited love. All those repressed thoughts and emotions came flooding back like a tsunami. And now as I type from my HOX I can now say that I am indeed content with this beautifully crafted piece of artwork....that is until the next thing comes out lol

Amazing story bro hahaha... although this phone had a small introduction, from the second I seen it I was also in love. Had to have it. Once I got it, the nostalgia was unreal. I can't stay off of it, can't stop customizing it. I've played around with a JB nexus, I play around with my buddies lte GS3.... I just don't think they compare to my OneX. We do alot of modding and different roms.. my benchmarks absolutely tower over theirs, do side by side comparisons and mine is just way more snappy flipping through screens, in and out of apps, and going in and out of app drawer... not to mention the screen is out of this world. My wife accidently dropped it (never left a mark).... almost divorced her lol. So I came to my senses, rubbed her back and told her it was OK... I'm talking about my OneX of course hahaha.

Very interesting. I actually had One X for a good week or so but coming from a Nexus S and knowing the feel of loafing roms and stuff, it was a pretty big turn off. I do love the size and feel of the One tho.

I as well really was blown away when I first saw the phone make its debut in Barcelona at the convention. Being on sprint i was very disappointed that sprint had decided to keep the evo line going and not go with the at lease the look of the one-x. So after months of trying to decide of weather to leave sprint or take the move to att I finally took the plunge last Sunday and I have made the move. I absolutely love this phone, coming from my great OG EVO this phone rocks. The only and I mean only con I can say (at least for me) is the lack of the total 16gigs and sd slot. I mean can learn how to manage not having and SD but the fact that i don't have all of my 16 gigs (to be honest even 15 or so would have been nice) I kinda ticking me off, but not enough to leave this phone. Thanks again HTC for making a really good looking phone.
Awesome phone
Yea I know what ya mean. I saw this phone knew I had to have it. Tried every way I could to get my hands on it. Had an atrix 2 before and no one wanted to trade with boot. So I broke down and done early upgrade and just gonna try to sell my atrix 2. Got my case in today and hated to put it on this beautiful phone. But its clear so I can still see its beauty haha
OP, my story sounds a lot like yours. At the moment, I've got 4 phones (insanity)...4S (which will go to my wife to replace her iPhone 4), GNex (which I love), One X (more about it in a second), and S3.
Like you, it started by perusing the MP. Initially, I found a GNex for a great price in mint condition. I jumped at it and it's a wonderful phone. My only gripe is the speaker volume on calls. The tweaks that worked to make it louder when it was on ICS don't work anymore on JB, so it's become my backup phone. If only I could make the volume louder, it would be the perfect phone for me.
A week or so later, I came across a One X in the MP. Again, great price and mint, so I took a flyer and got it too. This was just before the S3 came out and I'd already decided to try the S3 since I had a S2 that was awesome. The One X was everything I'd hoped for. Beautiful design and that screen...OMG that screen!
So...then the S3 was available. I grabbed one from Best Buy off-contract. I love this thing! It's everything i was hoping for and more. I don't even feel the need to root it.
So then, I told myself a decision had to be made. I wasn't going to keep 3 phones (GNex, HOX, and S3)...that's just silly...right? So after using each of them for a week, I came to the conclusion that I'd sell the HOX, as I wanted to keep the GNex as a "play" phone to mess with ROMs and such and since the S3 was going to have such a big development community behind it it would stay also.
About 4 days passed after selling the HOX and I found myself missing it. So, the search began again for another one. Sure enough, another beauty popped up on the MP and I snatched it up. So, here I sit...3 phones that I rotate between. LOL...it's a sickness!
I won't lie, though. My go-to phone is the S3. But every so often I switch it up for a day or two and use either the GNex or HOX and get my fix. I'll keep the S3 for a while, but eventually (probably when the next Nexus phone is coming) I'll sell the HOX and GNex to fund it. I have no intention of going back to the iPhone anytime soon, though. These 3, along with my Nexus 7, give me all I need and more.
Since the One X came out, ive had (in order) Grey One X, White SGS3, Blue SGS3, Grey Int One X, Grey One X, Red SGS3, White One X. Yes, im crazy. Basically, even though I like grey much more than white, im happy im going to stick (and finally decidedly staying) with the one x. SGS3 is the phone I wanted to like, but all I enjoyed was the removable battery and microSD card slot (didn't use it for swapping but just for more memory). I think I just fell for samsung's blitz of advertising.

There is actually somebody local wanting to trade their galaxy nexus for a HOX.. hmm I don't know if I want to give it a go. All their constant updates and true jelly bean experience is kind if a win. But I love the looks of this phone. The touch screen feels amazing!

LOL...I wouldn't say that. I make enough that I can put away some play money. The problem is, my hobbies keep evolving. First it was my motorcycle and having to buy all the gear that goes along with that (in multiples, of course...gotta be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you and wet leathers SUCK!) Now, on top of that expensive hobby, there's this phone hobby that I've developed. Ugh.
The key is to make sure you take care of the things that matter most first. My car is paid off...my motorcycle almost is...my bills are all static, so I know exactly what I have to pay out every month. Little by little, put away money in a savings account and before you know it, you've got a nice stash to play with.
The phone hobby is really only expensive at the beginning. Once you've got a couple of phones, you simply sell one and move on to the next one. Now the overhead is low (you sell X phone for $300 and buy Y (new) phone for $400 so you're only out $100 total). The key is knowing when to sell the old phone (a window I've probably missed on the HOX...but I'll still get a decent amount out of it).

Software is software, we will get Jelly Bean in time. Screen, build, camera (DEF CAMERA) are way better on the one x. Dont downgrade yourself.

To be honest, I wouldn't give up my GNex for the HOX. The HOX is amazing, don't get me wrong. But the GNex is just so much fun with all the ROMs you can play with. The camera isn't THAT bad and if you use another kernel like Franco or Trinity, you can tweak the screen to be pretty darn good. One thing I love about the GNex is that it's nearly unbrickable. Unless you really screw something up, you almost can't.
I'd recommend both to anyone, though.

while I loved my galaxy nexus, AOSP was just too boring for me plus I don't really like the Holo theme all that much. I prefer the look and feel of stock sense... plus, this phone is dead gorgeous! yes, I know sold an open phone for a "closed" one, but all the roms over in the GN are just AOSP Jelly Bean... there were no real differentiators except some mods tweaks here and there.
Plus, I can't wait to get Jelly Bean Sense... I loved the changes in the notification drawer and the way notifications were displayed as well as the ability to have high res contact pics (synced with Google)

Thats exactly how I felt. Sure there 78 ROMS and 43 Kernels, but the phone is still visually 80% the same between all of them. ive been rooting/flashing my phones for a few years, and I gotta say that honestly, I have a 100% stock/unrooted 2.20 OTA One X and theres not a single want to change that (other than maybe ADFREE)

This. I'm running the rooted, odexed version of 2.20... the only reason I care to do root is AdAway and I do like to flash the occasional rom to check it out, but it seems like I always come back to stock 2.20.
Plus I can't stand AMOLED screens and how you can't see them in the daylight.

I was a DIEHARD SAMOLED fan, probably because of my bias toward Samsung (I love their TV's and have had them my entire adult life). But WOW, the daylight difference between these two is night and day. Big plus especially if you do alot of car-dock mode driving.
Funny thing is, is that I actually love AOKP/AOSP. I'm using CM9 on this HOX cause I can't stand sense. Only thing I want more on this phone are more kernels and OTG support. Then this will be perfect.

I get bored with phones very easily but once i got my Inspire i wanted to keep it for more than a month or 2 (which was the shelf life for a phone to me for a long time) So i rooted it to keep me busy/interested, and when i get bored i dive deeper into the root to make it better.But im at a point now where i dont know enough to go much further, and the onlyfriends i have that are into phones like i am are through here. So its hard to actually be taught anything. So i really want a new phone but not sure which direction i should go, or if i should hold out till the new batch of phones is out. In short, why cant i be satisfied with a phone nfor more than a few months?
Nope i wanna stick around until a while. The inspire is a great device

I've found the Inspire to be one of the best phones I've ever owned. I think I'd only put the G1 above it in terms of phones I loved owning. The Inspire has given me 0 problems, has tons of dev support and is still very fast/snappy to use.
Not tired of it at all. I do lust for the Galaxy Nexus or the Razr while laying in bed at night...but I feel bad about it in the morning.

Lol to this
Also, I do find myself getting bored with it easily. Definitely an amazing device, but damn that Galaxy Nexus is tempting. If only it had the 8MP camera!
I actually really like my Inspire still, It's still a very capable device. I am going to be due for an upgrade in the next few months and i am going to be holding on to this phone i think for a while. Till something really catches my eye, because i really want to get another HTC device. The galaxy nexus looks sweet but im not a fan of Samsung's use of so much plastic on their phones.
My inspire makes me pancakes for breakfast every morning. I'll probably keep it until I'm tired of pancakes or my pants don't fit anymore.

That's what's so great about Android and being rooted. Get bored, flash a new ROM. Voila, new phone
No way! I love my Inspire still, it's a great phone, everything is really smooth with it right now. I'll probably hang on to it for another 18 months till i have another upgrade.
I really like my Inspire. I can not find a reason to upgrade. Nothing else out does anything different. I need a new Experiance before I will upgrade again. (or my contract is up). I had a Windows phone and modded the hell out of it and then, I went Iphone and modded it to death, and then andriod. Modded to death. See my pattern, each was a new experience. I will need a reason to leave my phone before I will.
meh...
After having issues with the battery life, I'm ready to upgrade to something with a larger battery & better screen. I'm not really hating on the phone, just disappointed with it.
Next phone I buy will be at cost, since I picked it up for $100 with a new contract.
I'm not tired of it (took 2 months only) but maybe if a little disappointed, I was recently at a concert and record some songs but my disappointment came into play, pesimo sound seemed pfffff q was in a machine room, something my old iphone that never happened to me, but good either me every day I live concerts as he remains so until q together for my new iphone 4s.
I have to say I like it and can deal with the few minor probs like battery life until the edge is released or equal to it. Sense I buy all my phones at cost I am willing to wait and see the next Gen device and right now everything else is just too weak to justify upgrading yet
So far I'm lovin' it. While this IS my first smartphone, I'd have to say I'm impressed overall with the phone. One thing bugs me though. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, I like to not have to set my whitebalance to fluorescent every time I want to take a low light picture with my flash... I kinda wish the coders had implemented where if the camera sees low light, and decides to use the flash, to just set the whitebalance to fluorescent. Ahh the little things.
Overall I like the build quality, for ME it's been a solid phone, and I love modding it. Endless entertainment!
i've had mine for a couple months and it's the best phone i've ever owned and im happy with it but honestly im bored. Too many sense rom's are the same and CM7 just dosen't interest me anymore and i've been using MIUI for the last couple weeks but i'm getting to the point where i can't really expand it that much more. I'm going to try to convince my dad (im only 14) to kick my brother off of our family plan and make him go to a gophone plan as he's 19 and dosen't use his phone much and then pay the ETF and switch to verizon, with christmas coming up i think he'll do it but i'll just have to wait
Tired of it? Heck no! This is my fifth Android device and I love it. To me nothing else out at the moment is compelling enough to switch. I love the actual build quality of the phone. Too many other phones just have too much plastic on them and they feel cheap. This phone is solid. Its plenty fast and well supported in the community. My contract is up in August of 2012 so if it doesn't get bricked before then, that is what I will be using. I look forward to see the offerings then.
I've had the inspire since launch day and it has lived up to the billing so far. There's really nothing you can't do with this phone. I live in Houston which has LTE but I'm working in Odessa right now so there's no need for me to jump into an LTE device just yet. They barely have hspa+ rolled out down here. I'll probably wait until next year for the new slate of devices, when att broadens their LTE footprints.
For now I'm enjoying my inspire

I love my inspire but like others am bored of the same old roms. Wanted the vivid but with the tegra 3 quad core already in the new transformer 2 tablet I think I might wait. And Samsung I believe has a phone called the flex that is supposed to come out q2 2012 with a flexible screen and body I think there are too many better phones in the near future to justify using my upgrade now and waiting two more years to get something better. Girl I work with just ordered the vivid so i will just look at it when she gets it and go from there

Guys...
I have a Thunderbolt and due to the length of time I have been with Verizon and issues I have had, they are giving me a new phone of my choice (not a refurb).
What phone would you all go to (those who root and use custom ROMs) if you had your choice of any phone. Keep in mind I have always liked Sense Rom's but have never had a Motorola phone or a Nexus.
Please let me know!!!!
Thanks so much and have a happy new year!!!

I'm personally not very fond of Sense & Motoblur UI. I would suggest the Galaxy Nexus, especially if they are giving you a new phone (hopefully free for you) and one of the major reasons why I would is first and foremost the HD Super AMOLED screen in general PLUS it having a 1280x720 resolution on that beautiful 4.6" screen (black pixels actually turn off instead of illuminating and looking wasted out and colors are 10X more vibrant), the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, PURE Google phone so no custom UI and you get all the updates before any other phone, Android 4.0 (Mmm), 1850mAh battery (soooo much better than the Thunderbolt) and 1080p video recording.
For me that is the only phone that I would go with, especially as far as what phones are out now on Verizon (which aren't that impressive). That HD Super AMOLED screen is just too sweet to pass up!

In my opinion I would say so because the Razr has an ugly amount of bezel around the LCD and the resolution is only 960x540 and has the Motoblur overlay and the Rezound is not too bad of a phone, I am just not too much of a fan of the Sense overlay either. I'm not sure but I think quad-core phones won't appear until around Quarter 2 or so of 2012.
Waiting is always not a bad idea, but the Galaxy Nexus is definitely worth it, again IMO. haha hopefully I was some help.

That's pretty messed up. If that's the case though, The HTC Rezound is a no brainier. It's similar spec'd and the display is gorgeous.
Think I should wait for the spring and keep my tbolt? Or is the Rezound or Nexus really worth it??
I think the nexus is definitely worth it.

Find out the most expensive phone they'll give you. Take that value, presuming it's lower than the Nexus, and offer to pay the difference.
howd you get a replacement? They sent me like 5 refurbs. Then finally they sent me a bionic, refurb, and I'm not real thrilled with it. It keeps forcing updates then failing and losing all my data. Kinda tired of dealing with these issues after paying 2400+ a year. At this point I would like to see if the rezound is any better, but they want me to shell out another 250 for the "privilege" of an early upgrade.

Don't get a Charge
I had 2 thunderbolts and then did the charge when the random reboot started. Waited for the TB and glad I went back no comparison. Slow, everything, gps, data, email etc. Had a TB a month now and loving it.
I liked my bolt before it was rooted, now that it's rooted I love the sh*t out of it....but if you're in the mood for a change, I agree with the recommendation for the Nexus. I got to play with one for a good hour or so last week and really fell in love. I'm not 100% sure if it was the hardware or ICS that really appealed to me, but since you can get both at the same time, why not go for it?
I personally like the RAZR quite a bit too, but all things being equal, Nexus seems like the way to go.
I'm in the wait crowd. I want the specs of the nexus, but its got some important omissions. The GPU isn't up to snuff for a brand new top of the line phone, and its got no expansion slot for a microsd card. And, did I read the battery isn't user changeable?
I was excited by the nexus, but if the SGS3 is quad core, Super amoled HD (RGB, not pentile) and it can take a memo card, its worth the wait. I'm not so excited about the nexus since it came out.

The next one was the one I had the bulk of the time, but the headphone jack ended up dieing. I was sent a replacement for that which came with a broken ear piece. The final one came with a damaged battery cover, which I just swapped with the previous phone, so no big deal.
The biggest complaint I have had is that they tried to charge me for one of the phones I had sent back, which took at least a half dozen calls and many hours to get fixed. They had sent me text messages saying that they had recieved the phone, but then a series of text messages saying that they were going to charge me for the phone not being returned. It took taking to a manager to check the future bills and a couple forms filled out for them to refund the charge.
More later...

I'm on my 7th or 8th Thunderbolt. I've been having intermittent POP3 email problems ever since I've had the phone(s). I went to a Verizon store a couple of times recently when I had the issue and noticed that with the exact same settings, the Galaxy and the Rezound worked while the Thunderbolt did not. The Bionic and Razr also did not work.
Anyway, they won't let me have anything except for a Charge or Revolution. I think the Revolution is a lesser phone than the Thunderbolt, and I don't know if my POP3 account would work on the Charge. I would've tried it out, but either the store didn't have it or it wasn't working if they did.
Has anyone come across this same issue before? If so, what amount (and nature) of convincing did it take to get them to offer something better?

Droid Maxx seems like a contender... just sayin. I have had my T-bolt for a year now and never had any issues with it
You don't even know the specs of of the S3 and you have already pre-ordered the One X. You do know the S3 will be annouced on May 3rd right?
Well for me the biggest reason is...... The HTC Vivid. It was released on the same day as the Skyrocket and it has had ICS for over a month.. It was also released 6 weeks later than the S2.
The Sammy Att combo does not like to upgrade very fast.
Plus I always reserve the right to change my mind if the S3 is coming to ATT in May and is totally Bad
Ive had the Captivate and right now I have my Galaxy S II. While I love my GSII, Im tired of Samsung and the same square boring look. Then yesterday, I was able to play with the OneX for an hour and had me completely sold.
Im sure the GS3 has nice specs, but chances are you wont be utilizing them 100% of the time. Ill take the look of the OneX over a "potential" increase of hardware, and instead enjoy the beautiful screen and fast camera.
Im choosing the HOX or S3 simply because Samsung is and already has already taken too long to spill the beans on the S3, its like they are hiding nuclear weapons or something. And also its time for a new phone and I dont feel like waiting several more months for the S3 to be released. And the fact that it takes Samsung/At&t forever and a day to release updates to their phones. Another note I hate about Samsung is that they release multiple versions of their phones like the S2, S2 Skyrocket, Skyrocket HD, etc... lol
Edit: Im still using my old captivate simply because I wanted the S2 but then came the skyrocket and others then came news of the S3 so I couldnt choose until I saw the HOX at MWC then I played with it the other day in the local store and Im completely sold on it now.
I also had a Captivate that had to be swapped out 5 times for all sorts of issues.
The S2 has been great except for the camera buzzing sound(autofocus).
ATT is sending me another one now to swap. It didn't bother me too much,,, But I figured it should work correctly since its going to the family member I took the upgrade from.
For me, I'm tired of waiting for something good. I have been eligible for an upgrade for months... Don't want an iPoop and recent phones just don't do it for me. The S3 could be great, but the HOX is available now (relatively). At worse if the S3 is announced to be available really soon I could always take the HOX back. Plus, my last 3 phones were HTCs...guess I'm a fan of the quality.
Another reason, be it a dumb reason, is I hate their naming scheme. If someone asks me about the HOX I can say it's an HTC ONE X. If they ask about the skyrocket for example I would have to tell them it's a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket HD. I would hate myself for even having to say it...

Do other HTC phones have all the stock skins? I noticed that while playing with the store demo. I think there were at least 10
I ordered it so I could flip it.
If I do decide to keep the One X, it will hang around till the GSIII arrives.
(unless the GSIII turns out to be a turd)
Gonna be funny if the GSIII turns out to be a monster on the 3rd, then my One X arrives on the 4th...

Keep the HOX and flip the iphone5
i have had the captivate and the note, the cappy was a bug from the start and had slow updates, the note didn't "feel" like an upgrade aside from the screen which as a phone was to big for me i guess as it was a pain. the note had last years hardware and felt cheaply made as well. i'm not saying the h1x will be a dream come true but it is different and i think that is what i need.
i remember my htc pure back in the day and it had great support and updates, and was well built. i have tried all the major brands a chance or two, if the h1x sucks then my next try will probably be a motorola as the atrix was really nice and i kinda miss it now.

You know, that was my intention at the end of last year. (I've been up for upgrade for a long time now) and Apple effed us with the 4S. Then I almost used it on the Note to flip. I'm glad I never got around to it, the 1X is much more exciting...

I haven't been terribly impressed by any Samsung devices to date. Even my beloved Nexus. I detest touchwiz. I think it is completely useless. Sense actually does some useful stuff to Android.
So for me, it came down to, what could Samsung possibly release that would make me change my mind about that? Short of a beautiful device with stock ICS, nothing. And I'd still be torn if that's all they brought. I've had stock ICS for about five months. I love it, but I'm ready for change.
The key points for me are speed, screen quality, design and support. HTC hit a grand slam in my book. My only hope is that devs pick it up and start to play with it.

I feel the exact opposite as you. HTC makes me yawn, (until now) and I *can't stand* Sense. Touchwiz goes away with a 3rd party launcher, Sense invades everything. I've seen the same horrid weather widget since my TouchPro 1 and 2 and Fuze days. Enough already.
What does Sense do that's useful? (I haven't owned an HTC phone since my N1)
Not being a **** or starting an argument, I'm actually interested.

I've been waiting for Sammy/AT&T to release the SGSII Skyrocket HD now for a while (they announced it Jan 9!!) and there still isn't even a date ... I don't like that the HOX doesn't have an SD card slot, but I may end up going for the HOX only because of the timing of the SGSII S-HD ...
And for those of you talking about the SGSIII, if it's announced in the UK May 3rd, take a guess of when it'll be available in the US? Not only will it take months (4+ if the S-HD is any point of reference) to get it here; it'll also be so close to the SGSII S-HD that it wouldn't surprise me if AT&T holds off on the SIII waiting for the inventory of S-HD to sell through (maybe that's what they're doing with the S-HD ... waiting for the current non-HDs to sell through).

It will take awhile for the US carriers to put it out yes, but we can buy the international version the day its released. (Most have done this with the GSI, GSII, and the Gnex)
I'm with you all on all your points, but I still can't take the plunge until i see what Samsung unveils. I mean, it's prior to the US release of the One XL anyway and it isn't like this phone is going to be sold out for weeks. The One XL does look amazing though, either of them is sure to be a huge upgrade over my stupid iPhone 4.

There will be less of a gap between International and US this time around than with the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II.

For me, Sense has more relevant widgets than stock offers. Petty and fully replicatible with 3rd party apps, I know, but that's it for me. Sense, although historically super intrusive and a data/memory hog, visually looks and feels more thought out. Holo (Stock ICS UI) is getting close but not there yet. Blur is also closing the gap but Blur and Touchwiz and all the other custom UIs are still pretty disjointed. And while I love Holo's sort of minimalist and simple design, I have found myself somewhat bored with it. It sounds odd, and I can't really put my finger on it, but I feel a tad bit disappointed for some reason with it sometimes- like I was expecting more nuances and eye candy...
Just found out that the galaxy s3 for the US will have the same CPU as
The one x. It will also come with 2gb of ram, which is a real plus. What would you guys do in this situation. I'm still kind of worried about that pentile screen, have to see it in person but I dont have much time left.
The 3 main criteria for me are screen quality, camera quality and feel of the device. I really dislike the screens on Samsung devices. All things considered, I'd be miserable looking at that display as a trade for questionable improvements in speed. A larger SD card, while a great option, isn't something I really need.
Build quality is also a big deal. I like the feel of the one x more than any other Android device I've handled. The S2 variants left me feeling like I had a bargain phone in hand.
I've heard great things about the camera on the S3, but while I'm still having some trouble in generating the type of shots I'd like with the HOX it's an excellent outdoor shooter.

I'd hate to say it, but I'm kind of in the same boat. I was dead set on this phone once Samsung made their announcement (was a toss up between the GNex, the GSIII or the HOX). I figured the awesome dev folks around here would get the phone unlocked so we could eventually run some stock form of ICS (which was a successful bet!). But the issues the phone has (WiFi BS, the lagging in the games, the frustrations with multitasking-esque stuff) are annoying. I was really hoping AT&T would be pushing out their fix soon to address at least the WiFi, but I was hoping for too much I guess. After this phone, I don't think I'll every be buying another subsidized phone again. I'd rather just roll with the Nexus line so I can freely do what I want with the phone.

A lot of the issues with the one x have been fixed with the latest ruu, and some nice tweaks have been made with the few rims we have now. Just wait until we get the kernel source and watch our battery and performance skyrocket. Imo, stick with one x and wait for the goodies to come.

Thanks for the replies but I think I'm gonna be returning it and see what the Samsung can do. I can always come back to the hox if it fails to impress.

I have a question...are these goodies you are talking about only going to come to those who are rooted? Is there expected to be an official release that fixes some of the issues I am having? My Wifi radio stinks and the cell radio is less than optimum. However, because I love the screen so much, I'm sticking with my HOX for right now.
I got mine at Wal-Mart for $158, and they told me I had 15 days. I wonder if that is just the window to return it and void the contract extension, or if I'm out of my window entirely? Although there is a lot I love about my HOX, That 2GB of RAM really has me squirming, together with the lockdownedness of the HTC.

I have (had? Cuz its broken) a skyrocket and the dev work was really slow at first. Once we got the ICS leak, things got much better.
Also, once more of these get into people hands, it'll take off. I'm hoping to get one tomorrow finally! Using an N1 is starting to get frustrating!

I guess I lucked out, got my HOX on May 10th from Best Buy with 90 day return policy. So I'll be checking out the GS3 on AT&T when it comes out this month.

The leaked 1.85 RUU has an updated radio, which may help your WiFi and cell reception issues. Its impossible to say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet its only a matter of time before this version (or something even newer) is made available as an official OTA.
After owning the Atrix, which had double the RAM and CPU of the original Galaxy S... I'd rather have a better screen.. Sure the One X has software issues like multitask, but we have root and the unlocked bootloader.. CM9 and other great roms will follow (I hope)... I think I'll be sticking w/ the One X. But if u really need the SD card slot then I guess your choice is already made.
Read the papers from Walmart at&t requires a 30 day window Verizon, and others are 15 from Walmart.

I'm keeping mine but I'm known to play craigs list like a day trader. I'm willing to bet there will be people who want to trade their SGS III for the HOX. I'll consider doing this if development on the HOX stagnates. I don't think it will though after all we don't have Source Code yet.
This phone os perfect for me. It fits my hand, it's light but not too light and the battery life is amazing.
Just returned it....now it's just a waiting game. Kinda miss the phone already especially going back to the iphone 4's tiny little screen .The specs on the new iphone should be coming out soon too.
I'm returning mines, the GS3 was just announced. Pre orders start June 6. The one x is a great phone but I prefer the GS3. Bigger screen, removable battery plus a sd card slot.

The Pentile display killed the SGS3 for me. Don't say "you can't see it" because once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's especially noticeable if you're like me and have been using iPhone 4 and now One X for 2+ years.

agreed on the display. with some of the wifi problems i've been having the last couple of weeks, frankly, i want to return it, but i just can't stand the idea of getting an SGS3 with that damn pentile screen and the overall pukey, pseudo-nature 'inspired' (read: playing the marketable environmental/sustainable/green card) theme. i've go ttill tomorrow to convince myself that the risk of my wifi never working properly isn't enough to make me return this thing...
Return the phone, then drive to different ATT store and get a new one for 30 more days
Well I just bought a One X from the MP. Should be here this week. I just noticed that there are more One X's in the MP than any other phone right now. Why is that? Are there any serious flaws with the phone? Or is everyone switching to the S3?

Oh look it's pebble blue and so shiny.........
It could also be people up for an upgrade, and are content with their current phone so they take the trade, sell the phone and keep using their old one. Makes sense I suppose. If you like your phone and are willing to extend your contract you may as well take the trade and resell the phone for a 200-400 dollar(plus) payback from it. I thought about the same up until my xperia x10 started getting kinda buggy no matter what rom I had running on it [but i so so so miss that phone. oh the curves and design <\\3]. But the One X is a nice device. Plus some people prefer that ooh-look-I-have-the-best-device method. Same as people trading in their older xbox for the new slim one. To jump off topic on that, I've got a cod4 disk that works fine on my xbox [older] but on the slim it wont even detect the name of the game xD. <back on topic> I envy the "watch video while texting" feature on the SG3 but... Its not very erm... Usable in my opinion. If i'm gunna be texting someone, i wont be paying much attention to the video.
I also think that you're also seeing a very vocal minority. It's rare that forum space is dedicated to praise of a phone, or anything, really. Personally, I love this phone and have zero interest in anything else out there...if only they'd release the kernel...
It's because they are prematurely ejaculating over the pebble blue and marble white. I'll stick to my 1X.

OP, I was noticing this too (mainly because I was interested in picking up a One X, so I was looking for one). I think it's a combination of people being wow'd by the GSIII, early adopters wanting to try the latest and greatest, and people that just like to switch it up all the time.
I'm not complaining, though...I picked up one off the MP last night for $375. This is after I picked up a GNex earlier this week...LOL. I've just been wow'd by the One X's that I've played with, so I figured this would be a great chance to give one a go.
Of course, I'm also planning on getting a GSIII (I had a GSII until a couple of weeks ago and loved it). After I get it, I'll probably use all 3 for a little bit and then sell the one(s) that I like the least. I'll probably keep the GNex no matter what because I really like it and I'm interested to see what JB is all about.
Poor Quality control is one of the reasons.
HTC has been releasing way too many HOX with screen rippling issues when pressed, dead pixels, creaking unibody, heat issues and etc etc. Not the best from HTC.
IF you're lucky enough to get a well made HOX then that's great but personally I ended up with a bad one. Dead pixel, creaky body, heat issues, LCD rippling :/

Stumbled on this while randomly browsing the HOX forums...awesome app!!! I probably won't use it a lot, but glad to know I can use another one of the GS3's "exclusive features" flawlessly
Just got the phone and I can see why people wanna get rid of it :/ Just kidding lol. Its awesome. First thing I did was root/unlock/blal blah blah and flashed cleanrom 3.1.1. Everythings running great Loving it so far. Cant use it on a network for another week but so far no issues at all
I got the HOX right when it came out and have had zero problems with it, personally its the best phone I've ever owned. People may be selling them because they don't want or can't unlock the bootloader.
I love the phone myself and have had to exchange it three times, but it's been worth the hassle. I am also going to pick up the new Xperia this weekend.

Yep, I've exchanged mine 4 times. I love it. Wouldn't have gone through all that trouble if I didn't.
I checked out the Xperia, it's a really slick looking phone but felt really dated once I actually turned it on. The UI was waaaay too choppy for me... and it runs Gingerbread.
