HTC recently announced that the new One X will not have a sd card slot, will only have 16 GB of memory on ATT, and be a unibody phone (no extended battery). To me this is the polar opposite of their stated intentions of making this a "flagship" phone. I have emailed HTC regarding these issues and they have asked for more input from me regarding these issues. I am hoping we can get more people to voice their opinion to them and let them know we are not happy one bit. I have been a long term proponent of HTC, owning a Wizard, Kaiser, Rhodium, Ace, and Raider. If I wanted less choices I would buy an idrone. Please fix this huge mistake HTC!

I want the HTC One X on T-mobile. I wish it would of had a micro SD card slot, and removable battery but I love this phone hopefully it lands on tmo. I love sense 4, and that new beats integration is going to be awesome.

With all the problems I see posted about problems with SD cards, I can see why they would want to move this way, not that they should.
I guess it comes down to trying to keep the aesthetics of the phone as up to date as possible without losing too many features.
I'd be surprised if the S3 isn't unibody.

well, i already ordered my One X.
i finally need a new phone..
but srsly, the One X IS a flagship device. they promised us quality, they brought us quality.
all three One devices are pure quality, beautiful and strong.
but sure, i don't get the point why there is no exchangable battery or a SDCard slot.
i need those things.. even with 32gb internal memory, i need my SDCard. it's just more versatile.
and i NEED a second battery to be sure to get through the whole weekend without having to recharge
things just stop to be versatile. i don't like this..
but i'll try it, i want to give HTC a chance, they deserved it.

If you need those things, then don't buy it. Don't just be loyal to a company for the sake of it.

Exactly. If they don't produce a device I want they don't get my money its that simple.
Companies are always looking to charge more and give less, Just look at Apple. If you are loyal to one brand especially a brand that begins screwing you over you are driving a nail into the coffin of choice.
Say no to iclones.
im seriously thinking of abandoning htc.. they are getting worse day by day. first their stupid security measures on their phones in a ridiculous level(heck even the bootloader and radio are fu(ked up) and now this? they must be joking... i miss the good old htc...
I don't understand how they get people to buy devices with built in memory. Its more of a pain to backup your stuff. With a sdcard you can choose your memory size and always know your stuff is there and safe. Like the Sensation XL. Super cool phone. Lack of memory. Now if it was 16GB and a sdcard slot that would be nice. But now its more about the money then getting quallity

I don't think it will matter in a few years, when we've all got faster data connections and nnGB of cloud storage, and I guess that's what they're thinking of. Saying that though, I wouldn't buy a device that didn't have an external SD card. I'm narked enough that I can't hot-swap with the S2, but I can just about live with that.
the memory is not enough to play HD games
too bad no sd support
I really, really wanted the new HTC One X because of it's Tegra3 chip, its look and feel.
But no S-OFF, no extra battery, no SD-card? What? Why?
Well anyone that has plays gameloft might as well not buy these phones. Most gameloft games have to download 100-500 mb of data add that with music other apps. You basically have no room left on your phone.

i don't really mind not having an micro sd slot with todays internet speeds everything is going towards HD as well as virtual storage.
unibody? no SD card? to me it sounds like there trying to copy the Iphone...but why, everyone knows that the common cell phone user does not know how to actually work their phone. when it locks up you pull the battery, that if its a android phone. idk about this one.....
I think the only real mess of Galaxy Tab is the lack of SD slot...
I went from IPhone 4s to the ATT One X for the larger screen and wanted to get back to root and roms etc.. ( had rooted infuse b4 4s) but with the boot loader locked etc... I am really wanting to return it on the 28th day and wait for the Samsung G3.... thoughts?

Well, if you really in love with one X designed, you need to be more patient. Sooner or later the bootloader will be cracked. Otherwise, go for GS3 and start flashing by next month

I moved from an iPhone 4s to this phone. Out of the box with no mods it's streets ahead of the 4s. Thing will only get better with time. I'm in for the long haul. I predict that only even number Galaxy releases will be worth a crap anyhow. Galaxy S Captivate= bad
SGS II was great.
SGS III designed by lawyers. No thanks
Not having the ability to command the phone via Bluetooth has me seriously considering returning it. Once I got my Android tablet my iPhone 4 was barely used for anything but music and phone calls but at least I could dial out without looking at the phone, an important feature for me since it's illegal here to operate a cell phone while driving a vehicle without using a hands free device.

The ONE thing that may cause me to take this phone back is the completely crippled multitasking. I'm tempted to keep it for the hardware, but it's virtually useless when I can't even multitask between two apps without the state being saved.
I did use siri a lot in the car, and I think the 4s takes better pictures. But the screen on the one x is a lot better for my old eyes. The SG3 with the voice app, removable battery and SD card storage along with the whole ATT not letting HTC unlock the boot loader makes me want to return and switch. I have also read that the SC3 will get updates a lot faster than HTC and that Samsung is a lot easier to root/flash
Agree, coming from the iPhone 4 the additional screen real estate is fantastic. I loathe itunes and many things Apple does differently so I seriously don't want to go back but commuting without voice command is going to be painful.

Don't be on samsung pushing fast updated. I had the galaxy2 and it took forever to get updates from sammy. Also their hardware was always an issue. Poor gps, poor radios etc. I might return my OneX due to the multi tasking issue but I would not got the III.
The wifi, push email, multitasking, and app association (youtube and market links open up in browser, not the app) issues all bother me greatly. I'm planning to install the 1.82 RUU update and see if it fixes at least wifi and push email. If it fixes both of those, I will probably keep it and just deal with the multitasking and app association stuff. But right now I'm definitely planning to return if wifi and push email aren't fixed soon.

Don't be a supercilious, condescending, and annoying grammar nazi. It's the internet, mistakes ARE allowed.
Truthfully, I can live with this phone being locked for the rest of my possession of it. So there's no reason for me to turn it back in for a sub-par display and design when I'll eventually get the experience I want with the One X.
Trading mine for a white nexus. I love this phone no doubt but stock AOSP feels right.

This. Lot's of ADHD too
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.

well, ive had so many issues with my Inspire, they are giving me free upgrade on my contract now, so i can choose the ATT phone of my choice.
Mainly due to overheating, battery life of 2 hours, and i've had 2 of these, and had continuous issues....roximity sensor makes cheek hang up on all calls etc.....
Long list...
I've rooted my Nook Color with CM7, and really like that, so i;m familiar with process,
I guess the choice now is root the Inspire i have, OR get HTC One X or the GS III...(others?)
I really don't want much of a bigger phone than the Inspire, as i still want the
Phone "feel", rather than a computer...

Is it free? Upgrade. Which one? Go to a store, play around with them, see which one you like.
Do you get to keep the inspire after the upgrade? Root. If not, you got a free upgrade.

Upgrade
If it is free, then an upgrade might be a good choice. If you are having to sign a 2 year contract, then this will be one of the couple main considerations. If you don't mind being locked in then upgrade to new tech.
If you get to keep your inspire, then you can get the free upgrade and have a phone you can root and play around with. Win-win.
I say Nextel.

Its a battle to get free upgrades from ATT. One rep promises you one thing and the next says the first one was wrong. I've gotten the run around from ATT at least twice before. Good Luck. Enjoy your new phone
I rooted my HTC Inspire and had MIUI when I took it back (but back to Best Buy because that place is heaven for a flashaholic like myself) and the assistant looked at it (which was hysterical) and gave me 30 bucks for it. I went with the Galaxy Note but as stated by your preferences, that probably wouldn't be a good choice for you. GS3 is almost just as large so seems like the One X may be more your style. In all honesty, I miss sense a lot. A lot A lot and as long as you don't need compartments that can be opened, I would go with that bad boy.

If money isn't an issue definitely go for the GSIII. You'll have native ICS if you don't want to mess around with flashing and there's a big dev community for it right now. I have a friend with a One S which doesn't have a micro SD card slot and he is always complaining about not having enough storage.
Go for the GSIII. The removable battery and micro SD card make it a better phone than the One X and it'll be a good improvement over your Inspire.
I figure it's probably time for a lot of us with inspires to be eligible to upgrade. What are your getting? I've loved my inspire, but I'm looking hard at the lumia 920 (if it ever comes out) or the note 2. Thoughts?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I'm going to hold on the inspire. I just threw on jelly bean and it's unbelievably fast ...like a new phone. I think things will change drastically in next 12 months with speed and capabilities of phones... especially with screen resolution.
I like the screen size of the note and the camera on the 920, two things no rom can fix no matter how awesome. I do have to say though that running ics or jb has drastically extended my satisfaction with this phone. Couldn't imagine still running stock gingerbread with sense for all this time.

Im thinking of sticking with something from HTC, all their phones are coming with bootloader unlocked. Although a google nexus sounds sweet.
But after a antenna mod and ICS my phone is just enough for me. I will probably make the switch to JB soon.

I sent another person a extra to see if he notices any improvements. Probably wont hear back from him for a week by the time he gets it and tests it.
gonna stick with the inspire for awhile. just switched to straight talk and can't justify going back on another contract especially when it will cost me around $20 more a month than with straight talk. maybe i'll get a nexus 7 or something and just use the inspire for phone calls and hotspot.
I might also stick with the I4G for a little while longer than my upgrade. I start a new plan in 6 months, so I can get another phone then. I would prefer to stick with HTC, but ATT's line up isn't all that promising. the Vivid is interesting, but it's lacking in developement. The HOX is awesome, but non expandable storage and removable battery does it for me.
Might go with SIII when the time comes around. Chances are it'll be a lot cheaper. However, most likely I'll just stay with my current phone and save that upgrade for later.
Im sticking with the inspire. Its fast, runs everything I need and has Jelly Bean on it.
I don't use the camera so its not an upgrade to get a better one for me. I can upgrade on the 23rd of Nov. I guess I'll hold on to it until something blows me away.
Im unsure what I would need to see in a phone to make me want to jump. Most likely it'll be because I break this one.Lol
my next upgrade will be a nexus with android 7 (chocolate wafle ) the desire hd still feels like something from the future, just hold an iphone for two minutes, then go back to the DHD... even if i buy other phone then ill keep this, hack it into a nas or something.
I'm really thinking about the next round of Nexus devices. Hope there is one that fits.
Not just a pretty Pickle.
I have an HTC One X is a great phone. Downside? No root for the current firmware 2.20 on AT&T (The one I have, lucky me). I recommend checking out the phones firmware before you buy it. If you're getting a rogers HOX or any other carrier, you CAN unlock the boot loader.
Just a word of warning. Its still an awesome phone, but really itching for root. I get about a day and some change with stock though, and I do prefer it over the Inspire.
Seeing as how. I just got this phone and sold my iPhone. I'm gonna keep this one for a while. However the one x is looking pretty nice.

booo......
Actually just bought a second inspire to replace my broken one that i dropped in toilet so won't be upgrading for a long time. I refuse to sign another contract ever again and other unlocked phones are ridiculously expensive.
I really like the One X but the dealbreaker for me is the lack of a microSD card. I like to store all my pics of the kids on the memory card just in case the phone ever gets water damage, I can always retrieve them back on the memory card. Plus I find 16 gb is not enough memory given the OS usually takes about 2 gb. Not sure the specs of the OneX+ but I would totally jump on it if it had the MicroSD slot. Might just stick with the Inspire for a while as RB's Jellytime is only getting better with each Release.
I think i may get an iPhone 5, but there's no telling what new phones will be out by the time I get my upgrade (7/2013)
my next upgrade has to have to micro usb connector, removable battery, and micro sd slot for expendable storage, those are REQUIRED for me to even look at another phone.
Has anyone had experience with windows phone? I'm really impressed with the camera on the 920, and that's one of the most important things to me. Wp8 looks pretty great, but I really do love android. There's just nothing on android that quite compares with the 920's camera.
