Thanks for updating the link.

i've votd a few times already! i can't believe the palm pre is ahead! hahahaha

advertising. =)
Or better media.... And the pre is what 30 bucks, compared to 500 for the nexus? I'm sure there's a few more pre users atm, only because the N1 is on such a limited release.. Cant wait till the N1 is widely released on the 4 major US carriers, and gets some REAL attention.

it's gonna be iphone 3GS vs Droid and Pre vs HD2...then HD v iPhone 3GS because people suck...then iPhone 3Gs because people continue to suck.

You're probably right, only cause of the amount of current owners, and advertising.
We all know what phone is the better phone tho.

Lame popularity contest, but I still voted twice...

I love the line about 'the best android device' (true) against 'the best webos device'!
There are, what, 3 webos devices and two of them are Pre's!

Ideas for old phone?

I just upgraded to a One X on AT&T from a captivate. Now I have said captivate... and no particular purpose for it. I plan to flash every ROM available for it just for fun, but I don't know if there are any good applications that would give me a reason to keep it, or if I should try to sell it.
Anyone know what a phone like that would go for at this point (2 years after release)?

Captivate? Brother to the Galaxy S i9000?
Perhaps 150 quid, that's how much i paid for my SGS a few months a go when i bought it second hand, and it was cheap to get it for 150.
But if you're interested in testing roms from captivate devs, you'd earn some serious kudos for it. Doesn't hurt to have allies, especially devs

Testing ROMs wouldn't be a bad idea. Although, I cant test call quality anymore.

Personally I would donate it to some charity, the phone is near its eol and developers will be moving off to new phones but to make sure ask around in the phone's forum to see if any dev will like to have it, its always good when they can test on another device...

Donate to charity, donate to family, donate to developers, keep it as a back-up, or just tinker with it to learn about how phones work.

Install Linux on it?

BLOWN AWAY with the ONE X

The first phone that I fell in love with was a Bold 9000. For messaging and durability, it was untouchable. I took it swimming multiple times, dropped it off a 3 story building, and it still worked like new.
I dicked around with a 3GS for a while and it sucked. Laggy and severely dumbed-down interface and UI.
Just picked up an ATT HTC One and I'm simply blown away after an hour of use. I can't wait to fully customize Android and this phone to my liking. The simple ability of mounting the phone as a disk drive is PRICELESS.
Simply put, it is a power user's dream phone.

I completely agree with the poster for the thread the phone is by far one of the best I've used in while and I've been around the block a few times with Android Phones.
HTC One X takes the cake as it is.

Wow, took the time to read the post, find a picture and then post saying we need to cut away the BS? Who pissed in your cornflakes? Go the Dev forum and make your substantial contributions there.
I honestly am blown away as well and I come to this site to see what people like/don't like about the phone so I can learn more. This phone is damn near perfect coming from a Captivate which sucked in every aspect. It's nice to see other folks feeling the same way instead of the constant gripping over, what I consider, little things.

Alright, thread cleaned of all the stupid and trollish posts.
I did lol at the "you're fat" comment though.

Please be respectful to your fellow XDA members. You can agree to disagree, without being rude or disrespectful.
We all share a passion for cell phones and development, so let's all work together.

I love these post when I look for a new phone. I hate how people don't like good comments on phones. This is a general section. I will agree this phone is my first not to have to root but will eventually. If you have a problem with reading good comments don't read them.

Tech and my bank account don't get along. This phone is great. I will have a party when the bootloader is unlocked. Even stock, this thing works well and that's saying a lot.
I remember when I first opened google nav...inside.. to just type in the addy like I did with my inspire so I wouldn't have to mess with it in my truck. Address in, hit go, put it in my pocket. Maybe 5 steps in to the hallway it starts talking to me with a gps lock. It was an exciting moment lol

Thank you for sharing your views on 3GS. I was thinking to have it with me but then you recently make me feel it can be broken easily with just one drop. I will add some more money and then I will buy HTC One X.

Okay, I'll play along. I'm Carson. I like pina coloadas and getting caught in the rain, long walks on the beach and all kinds of music(except opera, I HATE opera).
Seriously though, I'm about two weeks new to the HOX AND XDA but have been a member of several "other" android forums. I dev and theme(mainly for myself) and am no expert but always willing to help when and where I can and help anyone. By doing so I believe it creates a much better community. I'm currently working on root for 2.20 since my HOX was cursed with it out of the box. I'm open for testing if anyone needs it since I am within my 30 day window and am on really good terms with my AT&T guy.

Hi all, I'm a HTC fan, Canadian and like the Hox community a fair bit.
A good solid group, coming from the DHD forums, its easy to feel at home here.
Ftr, I'm 45, and have come to make peace and accept my inner nerd,.. seems a few of have flocked together in that sense though.
That's good and always welcome in my minds eye.

Hi everyone, I am from Littleton (MA), HTC ONE X is my first android device, first smartphone and I love it..I found xda by luck on google search and I love being the part of this community ....

I'm Jake, I'm 21, I live in Topeka Kansas, I'm a personal trainer, I play rugby and I'm a phone whore. The one X is the only phone I've ever pre ordered. Currently my one X is naked except for a zagg hd. I have a black cruzerlite tpu for when I go on road trips. I'm a fan of Turge's roms and I'm loving viper, my second favorite rom is paranoid android but the battery life just can't compare to vioer. My previous phone was the og atrix. I used a lumia 900 between that and the one X for all of about 10 days just to see what all the windows phone hype was about. I wasn't a fan. I'm actually in a happy committed relationship with my one X and plan on keeping it for a good while and even as a back up phone after I move on. There's just not much I can complain about with this phone.

I'm Rob. I do IT stuff, or at least that's the idea. Chyeah.... That's about it.

What's up guys?
My name is Brooks. I'm 19, from Kansas City, MO. I've been developing Android for a few years now, and I really got into development with the Inspire. I moved to the One X back in July, and have been waiting patiently to bring something new to the development scene.
A buddy from my old development team from the DHD/Inspire joined me on the One X, so expect to see some new work on the horizon.
If you ever wanna chat, add me on FB, follow me on Twitter, I got G+, and GTalk as well. Have fun guys!

I have been on XDA for several years, from Windows Mobile days. I've served some time with iOS, tried Windows Phone and webOS. I enjoy android, and the part time hobby it is to experiment and try new things with my phone.
I'm 27 with a 7 year old son (yeah, we should have called him "oops" ) and a 2 year old princess attached to my calf when she's not torturing our pit bull.
I live in Utah, never smoked or had alcohol (it started as a religious thing, but I'm not active and have seen alcohol destroy too many lives), I'm not a polygamist, I am somewhat obsessed with Star Trek, I enjoy dry whit type of humor and sarcasm after growing up with British parents.
I try to keep it light and casual unless someone pushes a hot button issue.

Hello my name's Eddie most around here just call me E, I'm 44 and I have a 10 yr old daughter & 6 yr old son. I pre-ordered my ONE X and been follow this forum since the very beginning.

Been coming on XDA since windows mobile. NRG windows mobile 6.5 roms!
I'm 24 (25 in 2 months) from New Jersey. I'm not into IT and my career is in Finance but i'm very fond of technology. I read a lot of technology sites because technology is a hobby for me and i find it very entertaining to follow the entire industry.
My smartphones have been Nokia N80, HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Surround (1st gen windows phone), and HTC One X.
One X is my first purchased android device although i did run it on my HP Touchpad (cm9).
I was never committed to a certain mobile platform but i've come to realize that i really like the control and custom ability of android. I think i might stick with android from now on.
As for my username: I'm not much of an alcoholic but i do enjoy having a drink or 5. (Black Label) and the occasional smoke.
I've learned a lot from XDA over the past few years and i still have a long way to go before i fully understand what the hell most of you are talking about. So cheers to that.

I'm Brad, 30 with crappy tattoos and a receding hairline. Contrary to what my incredibly unoriginal username would have you believe, I have NO metal in my head. I install home theaters, control systems, networks, and energy management systems for a living. I travel quite a bit for the EMS part of my job. Like all of you, I am a nerd and I love all things tech. The main focus of my love is Android. I think it's so cool that we have phones that are more powerful than laptops we used to own. We hold in our palm a piece of technology that is like something out of a sci-fi movie when we were kids and that to me is awesome. Crossing my fingers for hoverboards in 2015 I've been with Android since the HTC Hero. Have also owned the OG EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Galaxy Nexus, Epic 4G Touch, and now the One X. Also owned (and loved) an iPhone 4S for my first few months with AT&T.

I'm Matt, 17 and from Queensland, Australia. I have been on xda for a couple of years since my first android device the HTC Desire. I'm in my final year of high school at the moment and would really like to get into Android development but don't really know where to start.

magine a world without HTC

It is really a good artical to read. Lots of innovation from HTC in smartphone world.
http://pocketnow.com/2013/05/22/imagine-a-world-without-htc
It give lots of history what HTC has accomplished in past, most guy started to use iphone and enter the smart phone world will never know those history.
I do not know that HTC was first to put GPS in the smartphone even I owned O2 device.
In the end of he said
"I’ll admit I’ve made a decision when it comes to the future that I want. You’ll ask, what does my decision have to do with the industry, right? Well, as a matter of fact, each of us defines it as customers. Surely you all know that at Pocketnow we all review phones and therefore, since we always have review units to test, we rarely ever buy devices of our own. That said, I’ve decided to buy an HTC One out of my own money. I do feel HTC deserves it. Surely it may not save HTC, but I hope that my two cents of contribution help."
I'm glad I bought HTC one which is marketable.
What you think? Without HTC in the last 10 years, the XDA will not be so hot place for us at least.
anyone can let me know or moderate to help update the title? I miss one "I" before the magine

I don't want to live in a world of phones with physical home buttons! Die Samsung! Long live HTC!

Is "magine" like the word "merican"?

I do not want to imagine a world without HTC.
I have owned nothing but HTC since I pre-ordered the G1. Three G1's, 2 G2's, an Amaze, a ONE S and a ONE later, I still can't find anything I prefer over HTC. I know there are other great devices out there but I always end up spending my money on HTC. I almost took the leap on the GS3 but after holding it in person, it just didn't fit for me. I even walked in with every intention of buying one but I walked out with the ONE S and never looked back. I am even sold on Sense 5. I was quite angry about losing vanilla after the G2 but I think Sense 5 fits quite nicely with HTC and it's brand.
Really, HTC has always been a great phone for me and I think it would have been great for others had they known anything about them. How can you compete with a brand that is so diversified like Samsung. They have played the game well and made themselves a household name. Almost everyone has some sort of Samsung product and we tend to stick to what we know and what is shoved down our throat. Us old school guys know what HTC has done for smartphones and Android. The problem is nobody else does.
I hope HTC can pull through this as I am really looking forward to what they can do as the next step from the ONE.

Brilliant Post!!
